Has anyone sucessfully powered an Inova T3 with Recharable Batteries?

I love the light but I really would like to use Rechargables. AW's 17670 is ever so close to a fit. It is regulated so I don't see a danger using the Batt, but if I get it in, it ain't comin' out.

Panasonic unprotected 17670's fit fine. The T3/X03 circuit seems to shut down when voltage gets to a certain point, so when your light starts slowly strobing its time to recharge.

The yellow line was done with cells I pulled from a dead laptop battery pack. Their capacity is diminished due to a lot of use and having sat partially charged for a year or so. They're about 5 years old now.
