Well get yerself an 80 amp hour marine battery (or less) and a charger and an insulated beer case from Walmart. Couple of alligator clips. Put in a five or ten amp in-line fuse for good measure. That will take care of your power problems and you'll have power when it's cold too.

I've been using this system for ten years. Threw my D cell battery packs out. Greg N
