Thanks for checking up on it. The link to it is http://standscan.com/StandScan/index.php/accessories/12v-dc-battery-pack.htm l It fits 8 regular AA batteries which is the most standard type. So doesnt cost much to run it off the battery pack. The type of LEDs used in lamps are different from the SMD (Surface mount device) type used to light up the StandScan Pro. These require 12Volts for optimal power. Our 9V pack is able to power the LED's but not to its maximum brightness however it is a good option for those who want to travel light with their StandScan Pro. The 12V battery pack with 8 AA batteries inserted is considerably heavier. Do feel free to get in touch for any further information.

Your Standscan continues to be a hot discussion topic on the Viphone list and quite a few people have said they ordered it. However, there seems to be some confusion regarding the mention of a 12 Volt Battery Pack with Pencil Cell batteries. People seem to be under the impression they can order this from your website, but others who ordered the Standscan Pro said the only accessory option they saw was the 12 Volt adapter. Could you clarify what this 12 Volt Battery Pack/Adapter is all about? Where can people get it and what exactly are the "pencil cell" batteries, do you have a proper battery designation? I am afraid that if they are some sort of specialty battery and you require a number of them this could get pretty expensive. Lastly, why are the LED's much brighter when used with the 12 Volt adapter as compared to the 9 Volt battery? There are such efficient LED's available which use very little power. I have a retail business and sell Petzl headlamps and some of the models provide 65 Lumins with 4 LED's and 2 Triple A batteries.
