The constant data accessing is caused by the repeating sound track and the sprites's sound effects. I think making a very long soundtrack with many repeating section inside it will solve part of the battery problem. Loading all the sprite's movement and sound effects at the beginning of the game will also help.

Unless DiNo is unloading and loading in that audio all the time, it will just stay in memory and play without having to access the drive. Loading up a very long soundtrack is a bad idea because you'll quickly burn up all 16MB of memory the game gets. It's much better to loop the audio in code.
