Thanks! Some what of a relief to see that big of a bat pack.

So you're suggesting DIY 4XAA packs like

?

A usb connector  on the pack sounds awfully big doesn't it? Maybe one
could pull the connector that hooks up to the internal batteries out
of the case and connect a bigger sled?  This might even be necessary
for long recording periods if the external DC jack power circuit is
not designed to be supplanted by batteries-- where the voltage is not
constant.  Insufficient voltage might result in data loss for files
not yet fully written.  Rob D.
