Leonard,
Well, I'm still using the same battery (duracell) as the day my mindstorms
kit arrived (8 months ago). Unlike the RCX, the tower doesn't seem very
battery-hungry. If you must use an adapter, make sure it's unplugged when
not in use. If you leave it plugged in permanently it will probably cost you
more in electricity than batteries would.
Good luck,
Arjen
