Will these ballasts run T5s?

I have two Custom Sea Life electronic ballasts and would like to run T5s instead of power compacts if possible. Each ballast is a 2 lamp 55 watt ballast, with power intake of 120 volt, .96 amp, 11 watts. Does anyone know if / how I can make this work? Thanks!

I am kind of curious about this my self. I currently have PCs and am in the process of swapping out to T5s. Is it possible to use the PC ballasts and just cut the PC end cap and splice in a T5 end cap. If that would work that would be far easier and less expensive then buying a new ballast. I have a 4x96w Custom SeaLife ballast.
