Ha, ha, yes, thank you Rand!

This might be the most practical and least expensive solution.

Actually, it seems to me that the official Olympus power packs 1 and 2 are 
nothing more than a battery holder in a case with the appropriate wire.  I 
am sure there are more battery-based power packs around. I have one but it 
is for 9V (holds 6 x size C batteries).

However, looking around my box of power supplies, etc., I found a 6V pack 
made by Powerex. I bought this several years ago to power a 6V stereo slide 
viewer.  You can read a review here:

It is very compact, lightweight and pretty :)

I just tried it with one of the flashes and the modeling lights come on 
(they are bright!!!).

Now, I will wire a split adapter to power both lights (definitely) and maybe 
also the main unit (I might skip this) since I don't always need the 
modeling lights and it is better if these two are separated.
