  A method of direct solution of the Faddeev equations for the bound-state
problem with zero total angular momentum is used to calculate the binding
energies. The results for binding energies of He$_2$$^6$Li and He$_2$$^7$Li
systems and helium atom - HeLi dimer scattering length are presented. The
results show that modern potential models support two bound states in both
trimers. In both cases the energy of the excited state is very close to the
energy of the lowest two-body threshold.
