Power supply for a winder sounds like a sealed cell Lead-acid battery job!

Right, I'll remember that. I'm planning to build up a 6V external battery
pack for it anyway - AA NiMHs don't last very long for some reason (probably
self-discharge). I've got some Lithium Ion cells here, and a 6V power
converter board for them. I reckon two amp-hours should be enough to get
some decent runtime out of the Winder.
