I dont know whats wrong but last night i replaced my betteries and watched akira for about half an hour, then i get up this morning and play mario for about 15 minutes, then my light goes off, then about 3 minutes later my screen starts flickering and stuff like that!
im only getting like an hours worth of battery time! id say ive spent more on batterys than ive had the system!?
im using rayovac alkaline batteries.
i dont think im using an overclocked emulator, little john 0.4.
is this a problem with my system? if it is id be willing to send it in to have it repaired/replaced
anyone else get this short of battery life?
note: im not exagerating! i might be off by about 5 minutes but i am NOT EXAGERATING
 
I have the same problem unless I use Duracell, any other battery i use only last for about 3 hours, but the Duracell last me around 6-8 hours.
 
To save money i highly reccomend rechargables. Theyr pretty cheap at the rat shack too.
 
If you're in the UK or around get some Uniross NiMH ones (the green ones, *not* red) + Uniross NiMH charger , they recharge in about 4-5 hours and last as long as fresh Duracells.
 
yeah, i'm on the rechargables... always some on charge... duracells for long journeys, rechargeables for everyday use...

i once had a load of batteries that lasted for 1/2 hour at a time... :-||


edit: those nimh ones sound pretty good...
 
I use the 2300mah rechargables. They last for almost 15 hours. I believe 3 companies make them, lenmar and accupower and ipower.

I dunno what places will ship to the uk if you're from there but nimhbattery.com is a great site to start with.

For the UK - www.7dayshop.com has great deals eg 4x1800 mAh - £4.49 or 8x2100 mAh for £10.49. You've got to add postage - but it's still pretty cheap.
 
Ebay is the Best for Rechargables... 4 x NEW 2300 went for about £6 Damn I missed out :'(
