You would have to be very careful here, because it is high voltage you
would be dealing with. I wouldn't like the idea of 220-240 volts in my
inner pocket...

The Olympus 315 volt Power Pack is no longer for sale (it was unsafe,
and consequently it was forbidden in several countries). And if you
can find the pack, you won't find the batteries which are no longer
made. Of course hooking up 35 of the small 9 volt radio blocks might
work...
But it cannot be emphasized enough how important safety is here
.
If you want to carry the battery on your body (warm environment but
damp or moist as well!), I would certainly recommend a 6 volt
solution. And if you want to use high voltage, take a safe Quantum
Turbo which can be clipped on your belt. Not as warm as an inside
pocket, but probably warm enough.
