I suppose you could BUT battery life would probably be compromised. What I mean is that total number of times you could recharge would decrease and so would run time. BUT, on a counterpoint, because it is of a higher MAH rating I don't think it would be so bad.

I would say it's a more short term solution..............but then again if you charge you pack carefully (don't let it get hot) and 1st regulate the pack it may be fine. What I mean by regulate is charging and discharging the newly modded pack severly times at very low amperage if you don't have access to a charger that will automaticlly do this.

Would the Tomy bit batteries work?

NiCd's will give you alot more raw power!! BUT, run time will be even shorter.........my guess about 3 min.
