6 AA. since my current set up is like the one described here using a 9volt battery. hi cain, the 7805 needs at least a 7 volt input to function correctly. this is why it works with 6 aa batteries but not with 4. if you are using alkaline batteries, 9-12 volts on input is probably about right. as alkalines are used their voltage drops fairly steadily. as soon as it drops below 7 volts, the regulator will not function. if you use nicad or nimh batteries, you may not need quite as much of a voltage head above.    From Wordnik.com.  [WordPress.com News] Reference
