Yes, the OMP cage works fine with the MP100.

I've been working on that project on and off as well. So far, no real

Very likely. I have a box of OMP/MP100 packs and not one sample I've
tried has held a charge for more than a minute. I'd say that, as a species,
the OMP rechargable pack is just about extinct.
