Battery operated TDR

Can there be a version which has a rechargeable battery pack so you can take/place the TDR whenever and wherever you want/are?

Without changing the design any, the end user could attach one of those metal rings that would let you mount your magsafe power bank to it with a short usb-c to usb-c cable

This is an interesting one for sure. For the first version we're not looking at a battery to keep costs down, but also to keep shipping easier (you can't typically send batteries in air freight).

But I would like to do this in future if there's enough demand, and we have a really neat idea for it, too.

So if you like this idea, keep voting for it!

2 double AA batteries or AAA. Rechargeable is not my preference since the battery pack could die. Plus, this would add to the overall cost. If there is a simple battery compartment on the side or bottom, then it allows easy access to widely available batteries. IMO

This is a great idea! I wat thinking also about this when Tom was showing the compass function on Tiktok. in combination with compass a TDR that has a built in battery would be great!
