Battery life - John Mosand - 11-11-2012
It struck me that my HP10c (SN 2247A02668) is now 30 yrs old. It has lived all these years on the original batteries! Anybody else experienced a long battery life?
Re: Battery life - Luiz C. Vieira (Brazil) - 11-11-2012 Hi. Yes, some (a few?) users have witnessed about 3 decades of battery life in their Voyagers, something closer to what you have. Indeed, these are somehow rare experiences and I believe some factors, when happening together, are the most important:
- calculator chipset - probably one amongst a set is tunned this way; Or else it is just something that happens... ;) Cheers. And congratulations! Your HP10C is one of a kind! Luiz (Brazil)

The coin batteries are awesome. I wish rechargeable batteries lasted that long.
