Good point. I saw button cells at RS but I sort of discounted stacking 
them. But after seeing the hoops that I need to jump through to make the 
other two options work (N-cell or 12V remote battery) this might be my 
best bet. I was hoping for the power density of a lithium cell in case I 
use a pager motor. But if I don't use the pager motor, these should work 
great.
