However given it only draws a few hundredths of a milliamp when off and 10mA when running would make a fun project? Wasn’t there a power from USB module hack?

I was kind of wondering if anybody had attempted this with the Voyagers, since they apparently draw only 70 micro Amps when on and idle:

Could make a little solar panel assembly with the contacts on a small barrel that's sized to match 3 LR44s.
