I have the 383c h-bird combo. Nice little unit for the money. Since it has a big draw with all the extra features of GPS, Dual Freq., Mapping, etc, AA's will not cut it. 8 AA 2500 MAH batteries work well with basic Pirhana series or equivalant. A 12 volt 7amp battery gets me about 2 trips or 10 hours with the 383 C. Recommend buying 2 12 volt 7ampers and have em together to swap over or re-charge a single battery after every trip. One more option would be the slightly larger 12 volt 10AMP sealed acid battery to get two 6 hour trips before recharge.
