Not to discourage such experimentation, but I think for most people it
would be more practical to just buy some NiMH batteries and a charger. I
was rather surprised when I first read of people's displeasure with the
battery life on the 909. I've always used NiMH batteries with mine and
just didn't give it much thought when it was time to swap in a freshly
charged set of batteries. I always have several sets charged and ready
to go. If you know where to shop you can get NiMH batteries for not much
more than alkalines of the same size would cost.

I get mine on eBay. About $1.50 each for 2100 MAH batteries, including
shipping.

I would think the Nimh batts would have
been a better way to go too. I just picked
up a 4 pack at my local computer store
for $4.99 a 4 pack. I already have a
one hour charger. I can use them in several other things too..But I cant jump
start my car with them either.

They barely work in my Toyota Echo. If it doesn't start right away, I
have to use the 'D' cells..

I think it's the Prius that runs on AA cells.
