A while back I was checking out Jack Orman's blog and came across a cool rechargeable battery powered pedal power supply ( http://www.muzique.com/news/rechargeable-battery-pack/ ) . What caught my attention was that unlike something like the Sanyo Pedal Juice his version used readily available (and cheap) AA batteries and was DIY'able. Jack never really indicated what he was planning to do with the project but I figured I'd send him a message asking about the possibility of getting a PCB made. Fast forward to now and with help from Jack I have a pretty cool battery powered power supply:
I'll have to test it a bit more to figure out what I get as far as mA per output and battery life but I tried it out and it worked perfect with no noise. I'm also going to put a daisy chain on one of the outputs and see what it can handle. I don't know if Jack is going to make this a regular offering through his site but I could definitely see this project catching on with the DIY'ers. I made this for less than 1/4 the price of the Pedal Juice and while it doesn't have the full capability of the PJ it has the added versatility of being about to put in new batteries as needed and is much cheaper.
I'll most likely be putting this along side my ISO 5 and using this to power the low consuming dirt pedals and leaving the ISO to cover the more power hungry pedals

This sounds like it could be a nice, nice thing. At least it's a thousand times better than using regular batteries
Keep us updated.
