do they talk about any form of regulator to use with the pack? Ive seen many other electronic in the past get fried by simlar battery packs (ie batteries + connector + box). gettng the voltages correct is easy enough but the amps are different considerably and not all devices are built to run off rechargable batteries instead of the recommended alkaline. plus one faulty cell in the pack can do all sorts of bad stuff so make sure to charge separately and all cells charge completely, if one starts to fall behind, ditch it. Also make sure your soldering is solid and contacts have firm connections, you dont want any chance of batteries arcing at all. its a workable solution, just advice for others to take care when trying this. Always pay attention to the specifications for powering the device like voltage and amp ratings and ranges especially. The device might allow for some tolerance in deviation but never assume it will.
