You'd need some very tall straps. 126mm in American/Imperial size is about 5in., and that's the height. There's no way you could effectively keep the pack together and hold it securely.

I just don't like the added weight as with most people.
It depends where you look. Many times it is actually cheaper to get a pack with cells in parallel than a pack with larger cells. Part of the reason for that is if there are more cells made, then that drives the cost down (that's how it works with everything). As for added weight, there is a little bit because the "pouches" have a larger surface area, but for those like myself, the cost difference outweighs the weight difference. The way I see it, as long as it's lighter/more powerful than NiMh, then it's all good :004:.
