I'm no expert, so don't hold me to this, but actually I believe you could.The hardest part would be making an adapter / holder to encase them in. I would hook two in parallel to give you 10 Amps (I estimate that enough to last for at least 3 days straight) and use a plastic printer (if you can get access to one) to make a small adapter module and new phone backing.
 
I use three 3800mAh batteries. 1 in the charger 1 in the phone and 1 backup.

Each bat came with an oversize phone shell. These rectangular batteries have dimensions sufficient to hold 4 AA sized batteries.

I can sacrifice one of these batteries since they charge slower and drain faster than when I originally bought them on Amazon.

Perhaps I will find a smaller battery with a larger capacity. I am in the process of doing the same to my RC helicopter.
