Hi,
Welcome to the WeatherDuino forum.
Among other aspects, the WeatherDuino is based on Arduinos, which aren't suited to be powered by AA batteries, at least continuously. TX consumption is around 120mA.
In your case (TX 4 meters away from receiver) I believe that will not be difficult to power it from an 12V wall adapter.
