The numbers: The 5 AA cell battery pack currently being shipped w/ Meg is advertised as a 2800 mah pack that will last 25 to 50 hours. An alkaline 9 volt will have about 400 mah...

Ken,

Have you tried to use the alkaline 9V battery in the Meg yet using your adapter ?

Based on your numbers above, the Meg consumes about ~100 ma/h (worst case) which gives the 9V alkaline about 3-4 hours - enough for to save dive.
