As long as you realise there is no free lunch. The price for the voltage boost is less runtime (2x the voltage means 1/2 the runtime) PLUS the 10% loss in efficiency from the device. And the battery will see more current drain... maybe it can handle it ok. THey are pretty good batteries.

A much better solution IMO is to use more cells to get the voltage you want... you get full runtime and no losses.
