The 605 appears to be able to fit inside the battery box if you take the springs off but I have NOT tried it yet. It has two wires for connection so one would have to com-shaw a hook up method. I'm still not ready to 'play' with that project yet, but the cell container is slightly smaller than four AA cells laid side-by-side. I think the wires/connection will be the 'hardest' thing to figure out, but I was thinking of simply using the Dremel tool to cut a small portion of the plastic battery box away and you could leave the pack inside the container and charge it by modifying the circuit board. I think that article was in Portable 100 magazine. Like I said, this idea is still in my 'development' stage, but it seems pretty plausable to me and much better than having the ni-cad cell idea drop in voltage...since the machine appears to run on voltage down to 5 anyway.
