I think you can just add another cell in parallel and then either squeeze it in a vice or pound it flatter with a hammer. .

What really irks me is that the 3-cell 2500 mah transmitter packs fit my transmitter, but I'd have to cut out a cell to use it and that space could be used for a 2-cell transmitter pack with higher capacity.

At that price, buy two and take the spare to the field.

Yeah, that'll work, but I was hoping to find one with a capacity of at least 2500-2600 mah.
