The resistance of the circuit is much higher than the cells in case of
re-chargables, if you add more cells the current will certainly be higher. I
wouldn't push the T32 in such condition, it has the danger to damage the
circuit. It was designed to use 4 batteries not necessary a constant 6V. I
damaged a T32 switching transformer by using the old 600mA (?) Ni-cd, I was
trying to see how many times of flash the batteries can provide at full dump
but I didn't give the flash a rest after each dump :-( Eventually the flash
damaged after 54 discharge-charge cycles.
