The LiIon battery pack I linked to in my first post only has a capacity of 4800mAH, which seems like it would be right on the edge of a single day's use. But that's just based on how quickly I go through non-rechargeables. If you know of a slightly higher capacity LiIon battery pack, please let me know.

The smaller 4lb 12v lead acid batteries Iceman mentioned sound like a decent compromise.
