[Sorted for now] Need boost circuit - from 8.4Vdc to 9Vdc (up to 12Vdc max)

@ DVDdoug.

I was thinking the same, just finding a battery locally for the weekend, however making something is so much more fun. Alas, as the day is running at work, my best bet is a different battery.

Thank for the links, much appreciated. 8)
