M1330 Battery failed - can I move pagefile to E:?

Our M1330's 6-cell battery warned recently that it needed replacing soon (was at something like 67% original capacity). I turned off the warnings and hoped it would last sometime longer but now the system thinks no battery is connected and the battery's self-test LEDs do not illuminate at all.

I am not sure how easily I can get a new battery shipped to Africa and we have frequent power cuts (the system is on a surge protector which drops the power when it goes out. Usually a generator cuts in within 10 seconds to restore power but the surge protector refuses to provide power for about 5 mins).

So I need to change from using Standby to using Hibernate. Trouble is little disk space and no hibernate file left.

Thought 1 - can I put the Hibernate file on another disk partition? Googling seems to indicate that it is not possible.

Thought 2 - can I make space for a hibernate file by moving the page file to another disk partition?

Thought 3 - and this is the question here. Can I move the page file to the Recovery partition (E: )? It has plenty of space (>5GB). Looks like I can. Any disadvantage in that?

(Our M1330 is 19 months old and has had two GPU/motherboard replacements - I hope the battery charging circuits are ok)

 

Though 1, I think it is impossible too.
Though 2, sure, i have done like this.
Though 3, i think it's possible.
