I could do with some help please!

I am wanting to power the Robitronic RS163 Transponder directly from a battery/batteries as I dont have a receiver power source - Does anyone know a way to power them individually? These are going in to small cars with a combined ESC/Servo/Receiver so there is no option of connecting them to the cars internal power without major surgery!!

Any help would be appreciated!!

Our club used to use them and still have a full set of house transponders, bridge and software. I can't remember exactly what the power limit is but I have powered them from micro helicopter lipo's 3.7v 1s and I'm sure I read they are good up to 9v but don't quote me, the 2032 type battery was 1 option I looked at but as they are not rechargeable I didn't bother
