I use a custom LiFePO4 battery pack very similar to this model
http://www.batteryspace.com/Customize-LiFePO4-26650-Battery-12.8V-10.2-Ah-130-Wh-30A-rate-with-PCB.aspx
After using two 7ah sealed lead acid batteries weighing in at 13 pounds and
going to this light weight setup for near the same juice at 2.5 pounds it was
well worth the price especially to lighten the load for hiking.

I'd have to drive 700 miles to see a 4200 elev. I am curious, what
were you using for a battery?
