Okay, so my p64 is nearing completion, but I still don't have the batteries! I've thought up a couple of different ideas, but this one seems to be the best, if it works. Basically, I could just use a Ni-MH 9.6V pack from Radioshack. I've already received my *complimentary* 3.3V converter from TI (yes, gmail.com addresses will in fact work), and since it has a 9V minimum voltage input, I was wondering that if the battery pack would run down to say 8.9V or something, whether or not the p64 would turn itself off due to lack of the 3.3V. How long would it take to run down to 8.9V? A while? Should I make a custom battery pack, maybe a 12V one? If so, can I still use the Radioshack charger? Thanks.

...Excellent. My p64 is really coming together... all that's left is putting the screen on and ordering the vinyl sticker. Can this be done through Kinko's?
I'll post pics soon...
the dc-dcs will actually run off voltages as low as 7.5, but they start to act real screwy. i dont think 8.9 would be a problem, and your battery pack would be at like 10% before it ran that low anyhow.
maybe you can sell it on ebay
?
