   HG>TW> picked up a 10 cell akaline battery holder for it giving me the fill   
   HG>TW> 5 watt capability   
      
   HG>I've got a 5-cell alkaline cassette for my Standard C-111 (jap.) but   
   HG>haven't yet got an alkaline holder for my Icom IC-90.   
      
   When i was active in an Emergency Communications net I would buy the   
   "AA" batteries in the 40 cell pack. Always had two packs in ready   
   reserve.   
      
   I also had a Group 29 Lead Acid Battery for home use of my Alinco Mobile   
   unit. On low power it would power the mobile unit for a little over 10   
   days   
   Just berfore dropping out of Ham Radio I was considering getting a 45   
   watt solar panel set to for charging the battery
