Dan, are you going for LiPo or MiMh? See Peter Waller's post above.

I have one of those small NiMh packs @ 250mAh, its not a bad choice for an ant.

I think it is a step in the right direction. What is the weight of your current battery pack?

We use 4 x 2/3AAA packs in R.O.N.N.Y. and Antipathy. They are perfectly adequate for servo-based robots.
I think PeteC was supplying something similar for the Pants kits at one time.
If you don't want to/can't go to LiPo, these are a pretty good choice.
