AA FF battery set-up

Go to radio shack or Fry's..

Get one of these battery holders:

And one of these connectors:

The snap connector will connect directly to the battery tray. You can hard wire it to your FF. I use rechargeable AA batteries. Simply pop them out of the tray to charge.

I also use somthing similar to this : (from walmart)

The battery tray fits inside of it. It snaps closed with a rubber seal. I put that into a dry bag and roll it up. Never had any problems.

Don't forget dialectric grease for the connection between FF unit and cords to prevent corrosion.

This is a good setup, however I might switch over to this type of battery to get longer life between charges:
