Disposable Aa Research

[subin]

I did adblock Drak's sig and avatar, but he had some three different hosting services in case one ran out of bandwidth. They just kept coming back!

​

haha, how crafty.. somewhat over the top for an avatar, though.

but yes, adblock does indeed kick all sorts of arse. especially on annoying flash banners (sometimes).

Also, btw, your sig is an absolute KILLER, on my connection.

You'd hate Drak's old sig, then, that annoyed me on a fast broadband connection. I think the total of his avatar and sig filesize was 1MB.

​

Check my sig. :lol:

Dont know the filesize but the fading is starting to annoy even me. B)

Heh, wonder how many clueless IE users still out there?

I could not imagine living without adblock.
(hell its not even 100% perfect all the time, somehow things do get thru...heh for a very short time)

Yes. I agree. You die!

ASDA SmartPrice AAs: N/A Died during boot-up
Red Dragon (Chinese brand?): N/A No power up beyond brief LED flicker

were these two brands at all usable in any other devices after this? or did those tests nearly drain them almost instantly?

Just use decent ("decent" doesn't mean "ultra fast") charger even with average NiMH AA. Two sets of them is enough for a day for me. It's best for the cost and I could have extra pairs as well. (I have 4 sets and they cost me very little so I can have very long times of using gp2x)

Imho for general use NiMH are the best from every standpoint.

What a waste of money! For all you've spent on batteries you could have bought a 4 pack of rechargeables and a recharger and you'd be getting 3+ hours per charge!

​

That's NO waste of money. It tells everyone who DOESN'T want to get rechargables which disposables to stay away from and which to buy. Also, like BradN said, if you don't have your rechargables with you, you'll be able to get some good disposables to tide you over.

​

I have to disagree here... (not that I have much anything against disposable batteries but!)

The NIMHs can be recharged few hundreds times so you are getting many times more of your money worth with them. Using disposables with gp2x you are wasting money and resources. None is good and I can appreciate tests of disposables but they aren't optimal way to power your gp2x.

​

You ARE right that it is a waste of money if you bought disposables instead of rechargables for normal usage.

But this person was running an EXPERIMENT. And in experiments there are rarely times when it can be called a waste of money, and this isn't one of those times.

IE6 with Maxthon on top of it is perfect for me :rolleyes:

​

I'm sure they were. After my gp2x gives me that colorful "not enough power" screen (a bunch of colored lines fade in) I can take out the batteries and use them in any other device. If you put them in things like a tv remote they could last quite awhile.
