I have done it but it is a real pain to do . You are further ahead to buy a glow starter that does unscrew and you can just change the battery . The one I did I put a 3300 NiMH in it and it lasts for a long time .

he had the right idea a 2volt battery
Normal alkaline = 1.5 rating
Normal NiMh or NiCad = 1.2
Normal LiPo = 3.7
( all ratings are in volts DC )
