I bought one when west Marine had them on sale last Dec, for $130 after rebate. Have a look at WM discontinued, or sale items. They had a battery pack,(holds 6 AA I think) for $5. I picked one up just to have a way to power up if I forget to charge the regular one.

It says it is for the M32, but it fit my M36. I just had to scrape away about 1mm of a little plastic t.it. It did not interfere with the O ring seal. The guy at WM actually let me modify it in the store, & said if it didn't work, I didn't have to pay for it. It may very well fit the M34 too. You can buy a brick (24 pack) of Duracells for $10.
One caveat, when using AA batteries, it WILL NOT FLOAT, they are quite a bit heavier than the Li rechargeable pack.
