There is going to be a difference between the 1.0's (with jack) and the
others. The 1.0's have an extra rectifier bridge that eats up about .3 volts
so that you can use either the built in batteries or the external jack. The
1.5+'s don't have this and therefore have less resistance in the circuits.

Thanks, this explains the difference. However, I'm still interested in the
voltage levels people get. Does anyone use NiCads? Or rechargeable alkalines?
Or something else I've not thought of?

Barney.
