battery mod for 8 cell 720's

I was wondering if I needed to modify the piccolo to carry the new 8 cell 720 packs I just bought. I got them in the square configureation, but can reconfigure if needed. I have the rubberband holding the battery 7 cell 250 in right now. I get a flight of 1min 30 sec of these. I just bought my pic second hand and fear the battery is VERY second hand as well. This brings up another question. Where is the best place to get the supernova 250, or a better battery charger? None of the local hobby shops have anything equivalant to this so I need help. Thank in advance to all of those that help.

for a good place to buy the Simprop / FMA charger. Note that the Dymond branded "Super Smart Charger" is the same unit as the Simprop or the FMA, at a very good price.
