I've been using lithium ion batteries, Energizers, I think. While using
anything except alkaline batteries _does_ throw off the battery condition
circuit (they report 100% until just shortly before they die completely), I
find I'm getting anywhere up to two weeks of use on a set and I use my BP
several hours every day. Naturally, any battery will last a lot fewer hours
if you listen exclusively to MP3 files or Audible books.

Subject: [bookport] Battery brands
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.
