Based on what I understand, it sounds like it "should" theoretically work, but I might have more limited battery life. It also might not drain the batteries enough to get a full charge cycle. Where all the testing and design recommendations for that controller are between 3v and 4.2v, using three 1.2v AA batteries should be within the charge it needs to operate. I was hoping to get up to at least a 4.5v tolerance so I could just use any random AA batteries I can find, but that sounds like a bad idea.
Disabling the charging completely is probably the wise thing to do in this application. I'll do some testing with the batteries I'm using. They claim to be able to maintain a more consistent voltage than traditional alkaline batteries, which should be good for this application.
