You can put them in the normal battery tray and they'll work (the capacity
meter would show wrong values, though), but you wouldn't be able to charge
them in the Newton. Which I assume is what the original poster wants to do.
If you want to do that, you have to modify the tray so it has 2 additional
contacts to which a temperature dependant resistor is connected. To make it
as safe as the original pack, you'd also have to add a temperature switch.
