i think i have seen a dime pickup in a single but im not sure, although i do know that companies make humbuckers squashed to fit where a single would. but if your rich get your guitar routed(sp) so that it can hold humbuckers

they should the battery will probably be put where the wires for the emg's are then all you will have to do is take the back plate off that covers the wires to change it

there should be enough room, considering EMGs have less wires then most other pickups that don't need batteries. I was lucky and mine was made to e replaced with EMGs, so i got lucky. But there should be enough room.

I installed a pair of EMGs in my Jackson KE3 this night, and the battery does fit, although there is not much space left. The cavity on a KE3 is like 1.5" wide and maybe 3" long, and there's a volume pot and a 3way switch in there, and by winding the cables around the walls of the cavity, I got enough room to get the battery in there. I did keep most of the wires from the pickups in the pickup holes though. But you should be able to get the battery into your guitar.
