Hmmmm

Build a 'better' battery so that you can dump power into a voltage
regulator. Cute.

Actually the forward biased semiconductor junction in the form of a diode
is
a much easier way to do things.

You could use a step-up switching regulator. This would, of course, have
the minor drawback of eliminating the annual "6 or 7 cell" argument on RAS.
