well I dont need 9 volts, I need 5 volts(hence the 7805) so i just need like C or D cell holders that hold 4, so i can have a long run time. i have a holder for AA's but I dont know the rating on them, if anyone one might know they are Rayovac Alkalines(I got the cheapsest ones when they were on sale)
