Maybe. There are a couple of concerns.
1. The original battery was, I believe, 3V. Will 3.7V have an adverse affect on the system?
2. Will using a rechargeable battery have an adverse affect?
3. I measure the thickness at 0.65mm. Will a thicker battery fit without damaging the battery contacts?
4. If the battery tabs are cut off, are the battery contacts the top and bottom of the battery?
5. Why did cutting the battery not short it out?
