Today's electronic gizmos are surprisingly tolerant of voltage variations. Anything designed for two AAs or AAAs in series would probably be fine with one 3.7 V one.
I have a neat little suitcase weigh scale that I use for weighing propane bottles. Unfortunately the batteries died. Two CR2032 calculator batteries - dollar store replacements don't work. I hooked it up to my variable power supply and noticed it works on the range 5 to 9 volts. And it is fine on a much used 9 volt battery that is down to 6 V no load. I can't find high quality CR2032 batteries in town so I think I will solder that 9 volt to the scale.
