Well non-rechargeables don't last that long...I don't know the figures but rechargeables are certainly better, you should get some cheap rechargeables.
... yeah, it couldn't be the non-rechargeable batteries he's using that may possibly have died during the update.
<_<
:lol: :lol: , Oh right, not funny :angry:

Well I just don't see the need for humongous expensive batteries, personally the cheap ones work just fine.
"Normal" rechargeables are 2500NiMH. Alkalines are not rechargeable.
Cheap ones?? $20 for 8 batteries and a charger that can charge them a thousand times? 4,000 pairs of batteries that last 4-5 hours depending on overclocks and volume for $20 and that is expensive?
OMG what has happened to the forum. And Telcolou doesn't have that "Guru" tag because he doesn't know anything (he doesn't have it because he is a guru either

), so listen to him, what what.
Let's see, Alkalines don't supply enough for the continuous high draw of power that a GP2X requires, they tank in well under an hour. Nuff said.
Actually it isn't "nuff said" apparently, it is repeated 3-4 times a week every week for every noob who comes up. Although some take more convincing than others (where's squidge with the bench-testing equipment and electrical engineering knowledge??)
Suffice it to say that Alkalines are a no no. Maybe try my 3 cell mod that puts another AA cell on the back in addition to the 2 in there and you will see long run-times for Alkalines, I am not going to buy some just to try that though. (I am serious, 5:40mins for 250mhz overclock on the battery test application, 6:17mins for 200mhz clock speed.)
What is up with Blah?
