> A) batter life with GPS in use is ~ 2 hours. Ugh !
Be sure not to use alkalines to run high tech gadgets like GPS handhelds,
palm pilots, digital cameras, etc. My understanding is that the way
alkalines discharge their power they fail to deliver enough to run these
things even though they still have a lot of life in them (say for running a
flashlight, etc). I recommend using NiMH (nickel metal hydride) batteries.
Buy two or three sets of rechargeable NiMH batteries and make it a routine
of rotating them through the charger. I've been able to meet my needs using
three sets of rechargeables for several years now. It works well, saves
money (and its good for the environment too).
