If those are ni-cads make sure to recycle 'em.
I've read somewhere that over-volting will cause the bulb to burn whiter/brighter but also reduce the life of the bulb. Besides there will only be a 1.2 volt difference between the 7.2 and the 6.0v older battery I have also been considering putting two of these battery packs together, as in a parallel hook up to increase burn time. So two, 7.2 battery packs should double my burn time right? There is one thing I've just remembered, the battery packs are 'C' sized cells so that means less capacity compared to 'D' sized cells. Hhhmmm, perhaps I could put three 7.2 battery packs together to get the burn time I desire.
