If you're worried about running it without batteries, pop in a set of AA NiMHs. (Or alkaline, if you replace the hard drive with a flash card.)

I believe this is the type of battery referred to in the post I mentioned above:

I'm not sure if a version with solder tabs, which would be preferable, is offered. There is a solder-tab version in "4/5 A" size available here, but I'm not sure if it would fit (A cells are fatter than AAs). Some 4/5 AA cells with solder tabs are available from a TAS seller in Hong Kong. This site has numerous rechargeable batteries, but I don't see 4/5AA (just 4/5A).

EDIT: Went back over the above-quoted thread, and "4/5A" would probably be the proper size, given the stated mAh figures for the cells. Is there a known way for taking these battery packs apart without destroying them?
