Yeah, they are small enough. But a couple things. First 4-6 watts is pretty weak, also they need around 5-8A depending on the model, I don't of any small lipo packs that are capable of delivering that current. You could use micro NiMH cells, but those are a lot heavier, so you're not helping anything with weight.
