jessabu:
Oh, again, sorry for the misunderstanding. Would 6 AA (1.5v each) batteries in a battery pack also work?
As I said, reread my answer, it hasn't changed and it addresses your power requirements very clearly. 4
quality D-cells. 4, not 6, D-cells, not A-cells, quality, not rubbish unbranded, rechargable, not alkaline.
Clear enough now?
