Duracell AA's. :( I need to rejuve the rechargeable pack that came with
the 2100, it's pretty much toast. The blue-ringed "high capacity" AAs,
but not Lithium.
And actually right after I hit send, I wanted to correct the values I
mentioned; I went back to the imaging CPU (I've been on the fluorescent
scope and printing on the dye-sub printer al afternoon, hence the time to
fiddle with the Newt while waiting); the 2100 had just spent 30 more min
online and only dropped from 43% to 42% :) I've not changed batteries
since 6th June and have spent a lot of time on ethernet.
