I'm interested in making, or having made, a battery power supply for my Starmate, and I'm wondering if anyone has done this, and the results. Eight D cells should supply the required 12 volts. Or should I find (on Ebay or elsewhere) a 12 volt rechargable battery of some type. Anybody tried this? Your input would be quite welcome!

8 D cells? You'd be better off with a small 12v battery (ie lithium-ion, moped, or whatever). They can be trickle charged when they're not in use and it would be less hassle and cheaper in the long run.
