BATTERY LIFE

Over the last six months I tested the battery life of four different kinds of Double-A batteries. In each case I used the 95LX 1 hour per day and used the serial port once a week. I did not connect the 95LX to an AC adapter during the tests.

Company/NameAverage life in days

Eveready/Alkaline Energizer . . . . . 29

Eveready/Lithium Energizer . . . . . .58

Duracell/Duracell . . . . . . . . . . 32

Gates Energy/Millennium* . . . . . . . .7

* No battery warning was given due to the quick drop off at the end of the battery life. Because of the short life, the serial port was used only once.
