Powering the cam without a backup battery

We have noticed that the backup battery used to power the CMUcam is not very reliable, and dies out very quickly with our camera.
so we were wondering, is it possible to power the camera off of the Circuit Breaker Panel? that would be really usefull in this phase of developing, as we need the camera for the entire 4-8 hours we are here, and the main battery lasts that long (because all it is really powering is the RC).

verification?

(i ask becaus i dont want to fry the team's camera....)
