For the record, I'm *VERY* non-hardware-technical and not very adept
with a soldering iron at all, and I found installing a battery tray to
be trivially easy (much easier than the instructions I'd read for
making a new battery pack seemed). It did involve cutting a little bit
of the eMate plastics to get the tray to fit properly, but it was
really dead simple, and now I can not only use straight NiMH AA
batteries, and replace them trivially, but if I run dry in the middle
of nowhere I can toss a set of alkalines from the corner store in.
