15 dollars!?! That's pretty high. Sorry for recommending an expensive one. There are other cells sizes that would work as well that are cheaper like M. You can get 10Ah NiCad M cells (which are better for outdoor use anyway) and pretty much do the same thing. I think those are way cheaper around half of what D cost retail. I think A or subC is pretty good too. They don't have a 10Ah capacity but at least double what your standard AA size has. Nice thing about A is they are thin and cheap enough to do multiple packs.

Great setup, I have followed your posts on the list. I like the 6500 mAh output of the Ni-MH D cells and they are lighter, about 3 pound vs. 7 pounds for my 7 mAh gel cell. The cost is a lot more, however. With the flood of digital cameras using AA, 2100 are available now and 2000 are being unloaded. I got mine at a computer show for less than two dollars each, I opt for individual charging of the cell and a 10 cell charger are available also. I do plan consider the D cell at a lower price. I see 15 dollars each now. My current extended uses away from a wall outlet is 4 hours. On the bicycle I only power up the Libretto at night to upload and download from the gps.
