Actually you can rig it so that the bp runs off a c. I have not
bought one myself but I know that raul did and is pleased with
it. There is a device which has a pretend AA battery and a leaded
AA battery leading to a lighter jack, and radio shack sells a
converter from lighter to a C. The whole setup will run you
around 50 bucks, but if you are going to be stuck in one place
for awhile this may be an alternative.
