Has anyone made their own battery packs to boost electric bike range?

I am thinking if the bike comes with SLA batteries of 10Ah, I could cheaply make a NiMH pack with 2Ah (bunch of AA cells) to boost performance. I am thinking of connecting it parallel to the SLA batteries (+ to +, - to -). I am thinking this will slow the discharge rate on the SLA and also reduce the depth of discharge, causing the SLA batteries to have much a longer life cycle.

J& #39; like really the vélo électrique Schwinn (Continental, etc), but I wondered whether quelqu& #39; one knew an alternative less expensive. I do not think that I want that the SLA batteries. I would like an alternative smaller and more légères and have a good range (20 miles or more). J& #39; would go même jusqu& #39; à to plan to make a conversion of vélo if I could have new équipements légers
