I use rechargeable (2500 mAh) AAs.

And I happen to have an external LiPoly pack. It's just that it puts out either 16 or 19 volts (it's for my old tablet, which has a busted battery) and I haven't gone around (yet) figuring out how to best drop the voltage to 5 volts. A pack like that could power my N800 for days on end...
