Welcome to whatever you are using now. I've only replaced my batteries twice in the past year, and I don't do ANYTHING that is the result of worry about battery drain. Nothing. I've used motors with AA batteries, and I've used motors with specialized batteries adapted to them. In the latter case, it always means better performance. How long to you plan to stay out in the outback, and where do you buy batteries there?
