That would work, but you can't use that battery with NiMH cells in competition. You could use NiCad, though.

Q: Can we use a battery pack that we assembled ourselves, using 6 AA NiMH cells? They have the same voltage (1.2V x 6) as NiCad cells, but more capacity (1600AH) and no memory effect.
A: No. See R39.
