You would be at a big disadvantage trying to run 1700's. The voltage is much higher with the GP's (remember they are now matched at 30 amps compared to the 20 amps your 1700's probably were matched at) and the internal resistance of the GP cells are much lower than the nicads ever were. Running the 1700's you will be lacking runtime, voltage, and punch
