Al, I'm not sure that its a problem to put rechargeable batteries in parallel. Remember doing that electricity demonstration in 2nd grade, where putting 9volt batteries in parallel makes the flashlight last longer?

The only reason you may not want to do this is because if the batteries are at different voltages, they may try to charge each other, which with conventional batteries could be a problem, but with rechargeable batteries should be no issue.
