Yes, you can.

Nope.

Just be aware that the conversion is not 100% efficient, so it'll take a
little longer than 10 hours to fully charge the battery while it is
new.  Over its life the battery loses the ability to hold a full charge
so it'll accept less and less of a full charge - taking less than 10
hours later.
