The "Death By [No] Battery" List

[johnb]

A friend of mine knows I'm sort of a small-time collector, and recently gifted me his HP-45 from his early college days!

It's got the nice box and the AC adapter, but no battery pack.

I'm in the process of chasing down a replacement pack (I understand the pack that fits the Spices will fit the 45?) -- but I have a question: is the 45 on the list of HP calculators that are generally intolerant of being run on the AC adapter without a good battery in place?

Since that's a VERY specific question, and hardly worth an entire thread, I'd like to broaden the question... can we collect a comprehensive list here of the models that you don't want to plug in without a battery (or with a bad battery)?


Thanks!
