BatteryLife_your record Message #1 Posted by bill platt on 2 June 2003, 10:23 p.m. There have been some posts recently about battery life. Let's see what sort of records we can break! Mine is my wife's Elsi Mate (not an HP, oh well). 1981 and still going strong 22 years. A picture is at: http://home.earthlink.net/~plattdesign/ More records see: http://www.hpmuseum.org/cgi-sys/cgiwrap/hpmuseum/forum.cgi?read=35281

Re: BatteryLife_your record Message #2 Posted by Trent Moseley on 2 June 2003, 10:53 p.m., in response to message #1 by bill platt I have an Elsi Mate (Sharp EL-8061E) serial #06014759. It used up so many batteries that it's been in the drawer unused for ten years! tm

Re: BatteryLife_your record Message #3 Posted by hugh on 3 June 2003, 7:19 p.m., in response to message #1 by bill platt it will be early LCDs that still used AA zinc carbon cells. after the early 80's they quickly figured out the madness and changed to button cells. casio fx82 (all 6 of them) and the fx180p were like this. ah, but younger than '81.
