What 12v battery would you rec.?

Recently picked up the HHB-PDR1000, which is a 12V device. I'd prefer not to run something as large as the Eco Charge. Any recommendations? I couldn't find any info on current draw, so I' flyin' blind here.

there are many options for a 12V NiMH batteries. I like
http://www.batteryspace.com/
(although I'm sure that there are many places to buy them online). I just bought this one:

for my soon to arrive Tascam HD-P2. I went with it because its small and flat.
but before you order anything, I'd try to find info on current draw, so you have an idea of what amp-hours you need in a battery...

Thanks Jason. What kind of charger did you pick up with this? I've found several of the 12V "DVD" batteries, but they're REALLY expensive.

This is the charger that I have:

batteryspace.com actually has many package deals (i.e. battery + smart charger sold together), which is what I did last fall when I bought a 9V NiMH battery to use with my microtrack (with a voltage regulator in between, obviously). the charger is good for a range of voltages, so while I'm planning to sell the Microtrack and the battery system (my HD-P2 should arrive on Monday
), the charger is still good for my 12V battery.
something like this would take care of the battery and the charger:

the only thing I don't like about it is the connectors. but it's easy enough to hack off the ends and solder on your own connectors...
