I suggest going here and making a cost effective portable battery pack, Simple to create and can be re-used over and over again espicially if the batteries used are rechargable and you design a charging circuit to go with it.
They want to build a field control system, so this isn't really a suitable option for them.


Why not just buy a 9V power supply that can source enough current for 6 OIs?
