Limits of the PF switch?

[AndyCW]

I am thinking about canibalizing a PF switch

and using it to create a custom battery pack. Are there any constraints present in the switch that I should be aware of before I "pull the trigger" and order one of them. I may use this

to house 8 NiMH batteries to acheive 9.6 Vdc. Has anybody had any experience that would help educate me before I potentially do something unwise?

Well, if you don't go further than about 40V you should be OK I guess, also depending on the amperage of course ;) (you should not experience any problems with 9.6 V and a max of some amperes, check the philohome website as well, Philippe Hurbain might know the electrical properties of the switch).
