Since both the Driver Station and the Linksys WRT610N router are customarily powered by 12 volts DC, why get fancy? Just use a robot battery wired to a couple of Size M power connectors and be done with it.

Thats exactly what our team members did, they used a previous years battery and hooked it up with quick disconnects.
Our team was at the public library recently for a Science Night, where we ran the robot for over 2 hours constantly. We had to change out the robot battery every fifteen minutes, but the Driver Station battery lasted all evening long.
