I can only find the Lithium powered versions. Thanks. Has anybody managed to find the version powered by 4 AAA batteries? I can only find the Lithium powered versions.

However, the 20 dollar price (if thats for the 4 AAA battery version, it might just be cheap enough to go buy this). Plus this looks a lot slicker than an Altoid box with a bunch of wires sticking out of it. http://www.hackaday.com/2004/11/02/ipod-altoids-battery-pack-v2/ Amit For PDA’s and Mp3 players that accept 5V inputs, you can create your own.

What would be even better is if there was a way to hook a few of them together, so put a stack of 3 held together with duck tape and the power should last longer then simply using one at a time. Where the heck is my hydrogen battery now that I actually WANT one? That will be the best!

This might be a good solution to feed my power hungry Sony Behemoth. I swear, the thing sucks juice like water through the Hoover Dam. And my friends lovingly refer to the fan as a "jet engine" and "leaf blower." Seriously, this is an awesome device to have on hand for traveling or a long day of meetings. You never know when your laptop will be without a plug and you just need a little more juice. Cool! This might be a good solution to feed my power hungry Sony Behemoth.
