I would look into external batteries instead of the rechargeable C's. For memory cards, check this 8gb card on Amazon, onlyl $7.60. Heck I paid $10 for most of the 2gb cards I bought at Wal Mart.

They're not cheap, but they last longer, and they're rechargeable, so in the long run, they will cost you less money. My Moultrie D40 is running right now on a marine deep cycle battery that I had sitting in my garage for my electric trolling motor, which I never use, so I thought I'd get some use out of it. It's been about 6 weeks and the battery level is still reading 99%. Of course this is only possible because I only had to carry it less than 100 yards, as it weighs about 50 pounds.
I have also ran my Moultrie's on a Stealth Cam external battery "kit" that you can get for about $50. It comes in a hard plastic case, with the power cord that hooks into your camera, and it comes with a A/C charger. I also had to buy an adaptor for $10 so it would plug into the Moultrie.
First thing you need to find out if your camera takes a 6 volt or a 12 volt battery. My guess is it will be a 12 volt since that's what my Moultrie's are but I'm not sure. If it were a 6 volt you could buy the Primos battery packs that Amazon is selling for $22. They only have them in 6 volt because that's what the Primos cams take. If it's 12 volt you can get the Stealth Cam kit, or you can buy any SLA (sealed lead acid) battery, I'd look at either Batteries Plus or Amazon.
You might start out by contacting the owner of this site: http://www.custom1enterprises.com/custom1enterprises_002.htm
He sells the batteries, battery kits, chargers, power cords, etc. I don't see a power cord listed for the D55 but I'm sure he has one that will fit it. If you email him he will let you know which one you need. You could just buy the power cord from him and get your batteries locally. He's been helpful to me and I've purchased a few different items from his site.
