The amount of electrical power needed to read a magnetic stripe and store maybe at most a few kilobytes of data for a few hours/days isn’t that great. If the skimmer is designed to fit over an existing reader, it may be possible to disguise a small batter and a few electronics in some fairly creative ways.
