You could pack 3 sets (of 9) AA batts, and an extra 4 cell holder. Run each set till the rig starts having trouble with the low voltage. That's about 19.8 hours total. Then add the extra 4 cell holder in series. You can now run 2 sets of 13 batteries for about 2 hours each. Total time at about 150ma is 23.8 hours.
I want to work you when you are working 4 hours on 'dead' batteries!
