simpler...
buy a threecell pack intented for cordless phones.
Ratshack sells them and there are various form factors
but they work. FYI don't worry the capacity, anything will
do even three AA nicads (500mah) in a battery box(holder).

Good idea.
With other battery packs I tried to use off the shelf batteries to make a
new pack but had very poor luck in getting the solder to stick to the
battery. It seemed like a spot weld was used to attach the wire rather
than normal solder.
I assume that your idea uses the existing leads in the battery pack to get
around this problem.
