This is an energy sucking PiMeta from hell, though. I have no idea why the PiMeta suffers from such poor battery life. The Supermini, when using 9V alkalines, gets over 50 hours of battery life. Theresa gets 5-7.

Must be the buffers, as she said. But still, that's insane!

P.S. The Supermini gets 12 hours with a rechargable NiMH. It gets 55 hours with an alkaline.
I guess it depends where ones priorites are. I don't own a Pimeta myself, but plan to order one soon.

What I want to hear is what someone who owns a Tempo and uses NiMHs gets.

I did some research, and it was very confusing.

The PiMeta gets around 5-8 hours on 2 9V NiMH batteries. I guess that means that theresa would do well to switch to NiMH's.

I guess that means that the alkalines are only working at 1/5 efficency at that load.
