Having to buy a ton of batteries is not much fun. But I can't imagine
attempting to power 31 RCX's all at once from AC power.
If anyone ever has the need to buy large quantities of batteries, I recommend
this site --> http://www.captech.net/evereadyenergizerindustrial.htm
I once held a job where batteries were used by the dozen on a daily basis and
I
ordered from this supplier quite often. Their prices are better than I could
get for Energizer Industrials from other suppliers (38 cents for AA-size) and
I
was ordering batteries by the gross on a monthly basis.
I think half of the battery comsumption was employees as we sold batteries to
them for cost plus 10 percent (as well as other stock items) in addition to
technicians simply pocketing batteries for personal use.
