I've had this unit since it was released. Initially the company denied that
the unit could be powered externally - a lie. Several people had been working
on an external power source. The first thing I tried was a 'battery sled' - a
little box that held [rechargeable] AA cells and had a USB connection to the
Microtrac. It was ok but I was looking for more hours of use. There was a
fellow that built a unit called a 'juice box'. This was a step down box using a
9-12v lithium battery [from portable DVD players or cameras] as input power.
The voltage is stepped down to 5v and input to the MT via a USB plug. It is
super. I get more hours than I need -[and I'm now using a 16G memory card] .
I also picked up a backup battery when the Radio Shacks around here were
closing. I understand that that fellow is not longer making the unit. Perhaps
you can find someone or you can built it yourself. I can probably find the
guy's e-mail if you want to write for a skematic.
Regards,
Rickey Stein

I'm using a Walmart LiIon battery and a Juicebox purchased from a guy on
Taperssection.com. The juicebox outputs 5 vdc . Do a little searching in the
power topic and you should pull up plenty of suggestions.
