power related question - minipov2

Post by ikigod »

hello all! I just received my minipov2 kit, and having borrowed a soldering kit today will actually get to build it tonight! woo! :P

however, i was hoping to make the unit lighter, and being a complete noob in terms of electronics wasn't sure what to do... could i just replace the 2 aa batteries for a 3v lithium coin battery or something?

oh and does anyone know how long these things last on 2aa's?

thanks ladyada for a cool little project :)

I've been wondering about the battery life myself. I'm guessing AAs are 1500mAh and the device is about 100mA, so I expect about 15 hours, but mine hasn't run down yet.
