Hi Caroline. I use rechargeable and love them. They last a long time, and the
ones I have can either be charged in 15 minutes or in 2 hours. They are about
$3 a battery and last hundreds of times. The battery gauge is not as accurate,
but if you always have a set with you, then you really don't care. When my
reading drops to around 30 percent, I recharge. I get weeks out of my batteries
between charges using both MP3 and text.

Hi everyone. I'm curious to know what brands of batteries people have found
that work well with the Book Port. I got a 12-pack of batteries, (I believe
they're Walgreens brand but not sure at this point), and the battery life in
the BP is absolutely terrible. I'm finding that I need to change the batteries
every day or two but with the batteries I got with my BP three weeks ago I got
about 6 days listening to pretty much audible and podcasts. I thought about
getting rechargeable batteries, but I think I remember reading in the manual
that it wasn't recommended because the battery gage might not be as accurate or
something. Is there a specific brand that people find last a long time and
provide maximum use? I used to think batteries were batteries, but this has
changed my mind. SMILE! Thanks in advance for any help.
