"No Way" may be correct. However, the relative voltages my not be the issue here. Of more interest at high duty cycles/loads or in case of component failure maybe "short circuit" current capability, which relates to the internal resistance of the different types of battery cells under high load conditions.
Any one know out there happen to have info on the relative "short circuit" characteristics of NiCd, NiMH, Alkaline, Lithium etc. cells? Cold there be circumstances where one or more of these sources delivers more current than some older designs provided for?
