'C' size Alkalines will run at 200ma for about 16 hours and at that time be at 9 volts
(1v per cell). Two sets of 'C' cells would do it. But each 'C' will weigh as much as three 'AA' cells. If you are limited to a size 'AA' batt holder, then maybe having four sets (or snag more at the local store) will be the best answer.The 'AA' cells will be down to 1.0 volt each at 150ma in 6.6 hours. The rig might not take lower voltages very well. If you operate more, you might want more batteries.
