It's a good idea to run the minidisc with the internal battery
present. In the event that the external battery pack is accidentally
disconnected, the recorder will keep running on the internal battery.
Datexx is a company with a couple of products that provide power to
devices via the USB port. This external USB battery holds 4 AA cells,
two for $26

And here's a solution when you're on safari:
a 2200 mAh battery with a built-in hand crank generator. $18

On the subject of batteries, my favorite source is a Chinese
company called DealExtreme. Their shipping rates are reasonable,
and the company is responsive to email in English. Their
website has a wealth of weird and wonderful gadgets!

Here are a couple of examples from the DealExtreme web site.
A USB charger that uses four AAA batteries, $9
