Hmmm normal AA 1.5 Volt 4of them 6volts? Don't want to make my SB smoke, would not 6 volts be too much? found the Sanyo RC2400 but thats half the price of the plug in solder bits or a 5V Pocket-Size Lithium Battery Pack, at $69, just over half. You think 6v of normal battery will be ok.???

Best make it 5V output to SB. 5V power supplies are easy to find because 5V is the voltage of many processor chips and the standard voltage used in logic circuits. You need a regulator or resistor to adjust the voltage to 5V. 6V battery can get by with a resistor, but using a large 12V batt for
