Hello, we have started an i2 on NiMH batteries. The issue is that doing so is that you would not be able to have a proper emergency shutdown, the battery meter would always show full, and you would not be able to use the onboard charger for charging. So in short, it's possible, but not something that really can be efficiently or safely accomplished at this time. We discontinued funding for this project many years ago as it appeared to be more complicated than we wished to pursue.

thank you for your info i can do without an emergency shutdown and could piggy back a charger i dont need a constant battery level either cuz i carry my key in my pocket anyway i believe a lot of people would buy these non lithiums especially if they didnt look like lithiums and didnt have any onboard hopefully they could be etched-marked and have some documenting paperwork =laser etching maybe?

I am sorry but there is no way I could entertain the idea of selling such a setup as it is currently an unsafe product. Not even with an properly executed indemnification agreement. That is why I stopped funding the program a few years back.
