Yes that is one thing you need to consider, can the motor stand the
actual amps deliverable from the new battery against the old nicads?

Is there much of a difference between the peak current decent Ni-Cads can
deliver and Li-Ion? The pack I had re-celled is nothing like as good as
the originals.

There is quite a variation in the max current output from LiIon cells as
well, depending on what they are optimised for. So for example: LG MH1 €“
18650 Battery[1], good for 10A continuos, vs Sony/ Murata VTC5A €“ 18650
Battery[2] rated for 25A continuos or 35A if you can limit the temp to
80 deg C.
