I use Lithiums, the non-rechargeable kind. Lighter 
weight, etc.

If weight not a factor I use an external battery 
pack (ten AAs).

It has the output power mod (changed 2 resistors) but with 6 internal 1.5V batteries the 1.4Watt output power is just too low for me.  Be for the batteries are dead I'll be running QRPP.  I want around 13V which give me 3Watts, but I really want internal batteries.
