You should look into Lithium Ion batteries. They are much lighter and smaller. You can gain space in your battery box for other items. They also have the same power when fully charge or close to dead where traditional battery's get weaker. Their charge also has a much longer shelf life (years) than traditional batteries. Sometimes you don't even need a charger when storing. The only down side is they do not perform well when it's really cold outside. They're a bit more expensive but well worth it, especially if you're in a warm climate.
