The Energizer 2500 mAh sold in most drugstores now seem to do quite fine. Here in Canada they average about $3.50 though the price goes down if you buy more at once, of course. In another post I noted I seem to have better luck with the external charger, the playing lasts longer. Not sure why, but you may find it easier to buy a charger and have 2 or 3 ready to go at any moment anyway.

any AA battery, though any one of them you buy will have far greater capacity than what came with this model.

I'm a fan of Sanyo's Eneloop (and non-Eneloop) rechargeables. Buy a quality dedicated AA charger if you haven't already, it will pay for itself in no time and will charge your battery properly. Avoid chargers that charge for 14 hours or whatever and don't really detect the voltage of the batteries or automatically shut off. Generally speaking chargers with worldwide voltages are half-decent. Price is also a pretty good indicator, though you don't have to pay too much for one.

Good luck.
