Semi-OT anyway ... I use these with my Pentax cameras.

I've got a Quantum Battery 1+ that I think the battery is dead or discharged in storage until the battery is unrecoverable.

It won't turn on, but the charging light & all the power leds light up when the charger is plugged in.

It takes a 6v 2.5ah sealed lead acid battery unit that looks like three D-cells soldered together and shrink wrapped.

Batteries Plus here in Raleigh can get the individual cells, connect them up and shrink wrap them to make a replacement. Probably cost around $30.00 ... replacement power pack is going to be at least $150 if I can even find one used. I don't think they make these any more.

But I was wondering ...

Is there any reason I can't replace that battery with a larger capacity Gel Cell if I can find one that will fit inside the case? If a 6v 4ah battery will fit in the case, could I safely use that in place of the the 6v 2.5ah battery.

No warranty issues, these are OLD power packs. But I'd prefer not to burn up the circuitry.
