Looking for help finding a dew heater

I've really only had a problem with my eyepiece dewing so I only need
a heater for that. Looks like it'll cost about $200 for a Kendrick
controller and eyepiece heater. Seems like a lot just to keep dew off
my eyepiece. My other issue with the Kendrick is I would prefer
something that would just run off AA batteries instead of 12 volt.

I've Googled around a bit but couldn't find what I want. I'm also
hopelessly incapable of making this myself.

Anyone know where I could get what I have described? An AA battery
powered dew heater for eyepieces only. Thanks for any help.
