I don't think so. See the thread:

Lithium batteries generate 3.7V, and therefor can't be used to run a device that only takes 2 AAA batteries (3V). If it took 4-5 AAAs, yes, that's probably how they do it for radios etc.

They have lithium batteries that you can buy that run on 3.0 volts. but i think they only make them in AA and not AAA so i think that might be out of the question.

There's probably some confusion here between Lithium-ion rechargables and ordinary lithium batteries. Non-rechargable lithiums are available in at least AA size (not quite sure what voltage but they must be close to 1.5V or they wouldn't put them in an AA package, too risky in case of 'but I thought it was an ordinary battery' claims).

They're pretty good for running things like camera flashguns or anything at low temperatures (ordinary batteries don't like the cold much).
