The lithiums should be OK, but I've never tried them. They have higher
voltage per cell than the NiCds (1.45 VDC or so compared to 1.2 VDC or
so) and they don't have the ultra-low internal resistance of NiCds, so
they don't provide as much current. They do, however, provide enough
current to burn skin as well as circuits when they're dead shorted.

Sorry, can't help with this one.

No, I don't think the frame counter will reset, as long as you put new
batteries in within three to six months. I've never tested just how
long it takes, but I'm guessing they're using some semi-volatile memory
for it.
