Hey now,
Well, it's been increasingly harder to find a 5400 mAh portable dvd battery (suggestions welcome for purchase sites). Any other remote power ideas for a mytek 192?

Tekkeon MP3450?
Powerstream also makes a Tekkeon clone. I suggest scouring ebay for one. I recently scored a MP3450 clone plus extended pack for only $20.

whats the tolerance range on voltage? Something from batteryspace.com might work if you get it re-terminated to whatever the mytek receives.

Mytek is very flexible............... find a 9v DVD or pick up a Tekkeon and set it to 9v. Mytek recommends using the lowest voltage possible.

i know this thread is super old, so call me late to the party as a new mytek owner
im getting 12 hours out of this palm-sized battery:
http://www.batteryspace.com/li-ion18650batterywithwater-proofcoatingrubber74v4400mah3256whtrail-techfemaleplugchinacells.aspx
thats running 8.4>6.9V. it hit 7V after 11 hrs. im not sure at what voltage the internal rail voltage dips and affects performance, but im guessing 6.9V is fine for the extremely rare case i would go that deep (it sounded fine at least)
id go for the 2.4 aH battery but this one is already tiny and its cool to have one battery for a whole day at a festy
by my calcs this unit uses about 400 mA (2.8W). pretty efficient compared to the AD2K's 9W but in terms of weight with Li-ions the mytek setup is still heavier as the unit weighs twice as much as the ad2k
