I use NIMH batteries almost exclusively. I listen to a *lot* of audio on my BP, 
and I'm not "constantly" changing the 
batteries. I haven't done any rigorous testing, but I will say that I've been 
pleasantly surprised by just how much I can 
get out of a charge with my NIMH batteries. They're lots better than the older 
Nicad batteries. I know I've brought this 
up before, but I just wanted to reassure those thinking about using these 
batteries that they do indeed work well with 
the Book Port.
