Considering doing some rebuilding of some battery packs and
I've come across Flat batteries that have the same output/specs
of regular, round AAs. Has anyone given thought to using these?
It seems to me like they would work out ok. What are the potential
pitfalls?

Be aware that flat batteries are often LiIon batteries. The Newton
wouldn't be able to charge them correctly, and charging batteries
like this incorrectly is something you'd regret ever after.
