Re: running synthesizer on batteries

IMHO if you want to be really clever, you could make a battery pack which

I have two questions: (1) Since I am fairly clueless but would like to be really clever by making a battery pack which fits into the existing battery compartment, could someone explain in words of one syllable how to do it? (2) Since I posted my original question in 2000, have any other options for providing portable power to a keyboard synthesizer become available?

These days the cells to use would be "Sub-C size" NiMH with a capacity around 3000 or 3300 mAH. They offer good energy density while being reasonably easy to charge. You can buy cells of this size with tags welded on the ends - these tags can be soldered together to make a pack of cells.
