Power dongle

[Alex (Maxious) Sadleir]

There's quite a few USB power sources (marketed as Emergency Phone Chargers)
around including some that run off normal batteries. I can get one of those
at any supermarket around here. They'll last longer than 15 seconds too.

There's also the option of making your own with a 9v battery, a diode, a
resistor and a mini-usb plug. You also could include the fast-charging plug
configuration specifically for the FR.
