Has anyone tried using the battery packs from cordless phones? They have a fairly simple plug whose mate could be hard wired in series with the existing battery. When it comes time to charge the zz unplug the cell phone battery and charge it on its original charger....and recharge the zz as usual. Just a thought, let me know what you think.
