Where do you guys get your batteries? I'm looking for 3 3000mAh RC batteries (I'm going to switch them off my PS, not have them all on at the same time) and on ebay they're about $50!

Radioshack is the best if not the only place we go to get batteries. They have Ni-MH batteries (R/C) that have 3000mA capsity.

Radio Shack charges $35 for one 3000mAh NiMH battery. I got two of them on Ebay plus a charger for $38, shipped. $50 is not a bad deal. If it's really bad, see if you can find a deal on a big pack of NiMH AAs and use six at a time. You should be able to find AAs in the 2000-2300 mAh range.

yeah, I got 12 AA 2250mAh off of ebay for around $20. If you think about it, size wise they're better than sub-c 3000mAh batteries
