[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by lonewoof</i> <br /><br />Kaysievert -- You can probably get 3 3-volt lithium cells and stack them in series, to power your camera. I'm not sure what kind of battery life you'd get, since I don't know how much current it draws. Might be worth a try, though... <br /> <br />[/quote] <br />Here's the catch with that: Three 3V cells together are as big as a 9V battery.. <br />Same with using 6 AAAA cells. I couldn't find any kind of battery combination <br />that would produce the 9V and is smaller and lighter then a single 9V battery. <br />Go figure.. <br />But I ordered a DCC module that will pull power of the tracks and is lighter then <br />a 9V battery. Let's see what that does.
