Battery Run Time

[itsm0ld]

I have been playing around with several types of rechargeable batteries and run time. Below is what I have tested so far, I will update as I try more types / brands.

In order from best to worst:

1) 4 Hours 10 minutes - Duracell DC1500 2450 mAh - $10.20 - Amazon Link **Pic says 2650 but it has been changed to 2450 by Duracell**

2) 3 Hours 40 Minutes - Energizer NH15 2300 mAh - $11.16 - Amazon Link

3) 2 Hours 35 Minutes - Kirkland AA Alkaline - $1.20 - Amazon Link

4) 20 Minutes - Rayovac 6LF22 Alkaline - $3.54 - Amazon Link

I read another post about using a 9v battery. I don't typically use rechargeable 9v batteries so I just tried a regular alkaline I had.

Note all tests run with ambient temp of 73 degrees with Ethernet connected and WiFi+Karma running.
