Well, I think it's too weak, and the original cells were weak too - only 110mAh in 12 cells! Compared to Battery Grip, which holds 12 cells at 18x the capacity!!! (modern NiMH cells are 1800mAh). I guess the 225mAh NiCd cells (more modern) are better if they fit. With the original cells the motor mustn't have lasted very long...
