No way, Hank.
It would be like trying to convert a Hasselblad lens to fit on an OM
body.
9.6 volts means that the number of cells is probably 8.
Re-building the original T-45 battery by replacing the cells is the
only feasible way (apart from using an external battery like the
Quantum-Turbo). And the rebuilding process isn't that difficult...
