| Hello All, Is there a rechargable batteries that anyone can suggest to use with the RCX? How long does a group of batteries usually last? What happens to the programs stored in the RCX when the batteries rundown? (26 years ago, 16-Dec-98, to lugnet.robotics)

| (...) The RCX uses a six-pack of AA batteries. Its voltage range is 9-12 volts, which puts the onboard power with alkies at the lower end. A six-pack of nicads or nimhs puts out about 7.2 volts, possibly enough to work but definitely below range. It (...) (26 years ago, 17-Dec-98, to lugnet.robotics)

| (...) Sorry, I have no experience with rechargables in the RCX. (...) "9-12 volts" applies to the external power jack, and is for AC. That is not the same as the battery voltage. (...) No, it's not below range at all. The Mindstorms manual clearly (...) (26 years ago, 17-Dec-98, to lugnet.robotics)
