If you do this, you'll need to limit the current flowing into the battery pack, otherwise you could damage it.
Otherwise it would be totaly possible to do. Just use 2 schottky diodes that can handle the current into and out of the battery, and a resistor on the one that will be used during charging. That will make sure you have enough current to power the OI, but don't toast the battery.
