For whatever it's worth, I'm able to get ~125 liters purified out of my SteriPen on a single charge of some NiMH rechargable batteries. You can pick up a NiMH set with 8-AAs, 4-AAAs and a charger at Costco, Target, or your favorite big box retailer for ~$20.Lithium Disposables (Photo-type) 200 UsesNiMH (Nickel Metal Hydride) 200 UsesAlkaline 20-40 UsesNiCad (Nickel Cadmium) 10-20 UsesThe number of uses is based on purifying 16 oz. of water @ a time. http://www.hydro-photon.com/batterytesting.html
