Leegeddy built me an external power source using 2 9v Wal-Mart l-ions. It can power the Sax for 8 to 10 hours and is super light. It's just the 2 batteries with 2 power cords that terminate in a single male 4 pin XLR , and then a female XLR to SXM2 power cable.
I don't believe a 12v SLA will work, as it actually needs a full 18 volts for powering.
As for the cleaning, that appears to be a semi-frequent problem over time. Check the archive, because I remember several tips on DIY cleaning...
