Hi Wayne,
  you can use Nicads/Nimh AAs with no limitations,
but the grip doesn´t have the charging pin active,
you should reasemble it and add one diode as one
listie have already done.

It has simple electronics and switching is
realised by electromechanical relay.

My technical tips:
1) To decrease weight of grip + batteries set you
can use 12 1/3AA NiCd batteries welded always 3 together
so you have 4 AA shape batteries each 3,6V.
Good shop with batteries can prepare it. Make 
one additional connection in battery holder and
weight of grip+batteries goes from 400 to 240 grams. 
2) One additional 3,6 V battery increase fps rate
over 5 fps.

With wish of good light,
Radek
