Has anyone done any battery tests to determine which brand of battery last
longer in an RCX? I have a demo at work early next month that will be an
8-hour show in which people can come up to our booth and play with several
robots we have via the LEGO remote control and push buttons. I am wondering
how many batteries I need to purchase and if there is a differnce in the
following:
1) Duracel
2) Engerizer
3) Engerizer Titaium
4) Engerizer Photo Litium
My gut tells me to go with Engerizer Titaium as I have used this brand for
many years now and have been happy with them. Duracel suscks IMOP. I have
never put any batteries in my RCX as I have been lucky to only use the AC
adapter and not worry the battery hogs that I have heard the RCXs are. Any
help would be appreciated.

| The Unibots tested a bunch of different batteries in preparation for the Northern California State FLL tournament last December, without a doubt the Energizer e2 Lithium batteries (the kind in a blue package) outperformed all others, lasting through (...)
