I recently had someone ask me about the use of a ChipCorder with a 3 volt lithium button cell.  I have seen many applications that used 1 or 2 of these cells in series to power the device.  A ChipCorder will work just fine with a lithium button cell (or 2 in series) , if you want to use those batteries.  You should note however that the chemistry of those cells dictates a recovery time.  That is, as you playback messages continuously, you will see the battery's internal resistance go up and the output will get distorted.  If you then wait a view minutes and then play a message, it will again sound OK.
That is, a lithium cell  is good for interment duty when driving a ChipCorder and not continuous duty.
