How to power the Unit?

With the sound unit on SMV, batteries were a constant worry. In Brooklyn, where the units only ran for six hours, two days a week, the batteries had to be changed twice during the installation's six week run.

Further, to power the speakers I'm thinking of for SIS, I am going to need a power source that will hold up. The idea of wires running down the piece are less a consideration than last time since the pieces are suspended and the possibility of viewers touching the pieces might result in a shock. Besides, they're unsightly.

The burning questions:
• Is there a battery that lasts longer and still fits in the required depth of 1.5 inches? How long does its power last?
• Is its power storage easily measurable and able to be indicated, so that batteries can be changed before they run out?
