Low voltage will not kill the tubes. If using 1.5 volts battery for the heaters good to go if you measure the battery a fresh one no load the reading will be 1.65-1.75 under a load you will read 1.5 volts. I tried using recharigble no load 1.4-1.5 volts under load 1.2-1.25 volts performance was lacking. More info https://philcoradio.com/phorum/showthread.php?tid=17660
