This would mainly depend on the voltage they put out. If they put out
about 6 Volt, you probably could. But, frankly, I can't believe this
specs can be true. Assuming a 6 Volt battery (and 360 instead of 355
watt
hours to make calculation a bit easier), this would mean 60 Ah or
60.000 mAh or about 30 times more than what state of the art NiMH cells
would be able to deliver these days.
Unless one of the four brain cells in which my remaining knowledge of
mathematics is stored is on vacation, that is.
