Thanks for the suggestion. I don't have many devices which use lithium
chemistry batteries, so I'd prefer to utilize NIMH, which I already have
numerous universal, multi-voltage chargers for.

NIMH seem to be less problematic than others, and have high capacities in
compact sizes.. simple to recharge, and AC or DC (mobile/field) chargers are
inexpensive.

That voltage is perfect for lithium conversion. 3S LiPo is 14.8V
nominal.

Even if you can't effectively make use of the space, you might still
get close to the original capacity, but at much less weight.
