I found this blog about some hacks to run an arduino pro mini with AA batteries (I have the 8mhz/3.3v). But since I'm using a NRF24 radio, I'm worried that screwing up with the frequency (and removing the voltage regulator) will not work too well. I'm not able to power a simple pro mini + temperatur…

You seem to be operating on a fair bit of misinformation, and should do some more reading. Cross checks are usually required, as there are a lot of really awful tutorials, like Instructables. The one I linked in reply #9 has lots of useful and technically correct ideas. The DS18B20 draws about 1 mA…
