I'm looking for something that takes AA, so I can use my rechargeable batteries. I guess 4 x AA so that I can get a long time powering my phone with satski running. I didn't last a whole day last year!

So where from?

oh.... and preferably cheap as chips! 😉

I might even try and make one. After all 4 x AA (not fancy electronics required) in a holder from maplin with a usb cable soldered on should work... I think.

I've got a Dinotte light for exactly that reason. It works very well.

Yeah, that should give you about the right amount of volts. Ever heard of something called electrical current? How much did that satski cost cos sticking (potentially) 5amps through it is going **** the internal battery in no time so you might want to get a spare? 😯
