It's probably possible to run a halo off 3 9V's, but not advisable as it would probably blow your board.

The pp3 connectors are about 35p each, heatshrink is roughly £2 per small bag.

It's possible to run eggs off 9V's too, except you only need 2 pp3 connectors, and you need to solder them in a different way.

Awesome, cheers Rosie, will be making a trip to maplins tomorrow then.

I'm thinking about saving weight, so using anymore than one probably isnt going to be beneficial.

2 9V batteries & wires = 90g
6- battery pack = 155g
and you only have to replace 2 batteries, instead of 6
I've also found my rechargeable 9v's have lasted longer than my rechargeable AA's
