I know its probably imposible but any help would be great!

It'll eventually fry the xmitter circuit (or not) and will probably cause RF interference with other devices around it, but it will boost range. For a 9 volt battery it's more difficult cause you'd need to put 7 AAA (or smaller if you can find it) cells in series to get about 10.5 volts (alkaline battery) so you'd have to strap a pretty big pack to it. If it uses AA or AAA batteries, just wire in an extra battery in series. Doubling the antenna length will help to.
