If you're willing to spend about $40, a small [like 750mAh] Li-Poly battery will work great. Mine is a little smaller than a small box of matches, 12V for about 4W on 40/30/20, and it will last through a 4-hr Flight of the Bumblebees. You do need an Li charger. Mine would easily fit inside my KX1 but I really don't recommend that, my motto is, "Keep the chemistry lab on the outside of my radio." You'll find them at RC Model shops.
