Re: Changing the order of the batteries on turboed calcs.
I dont think you read and / or understood my message.
If im correct the display only uses 1½ volt, with 4 batteries you get 6
volt, but you can take the power from only one batterie, then the rest of
the calc can use all 4 without trouble. But when the display refreshes 4
times faster the "disp"-battery is getting low 4 times faster, and the disp
will start to fade. But the 3 remaining batteries is stil 3/4 full. If you
take a powertest on the 4 batteries you'll discover that only one of them is
low.

It's true for just about anything that runs on betteries that you can get
a small boost by rearranging the dying batteries or by replacing only one.
It still doesn't mean you should do it. Think about it, if you have to
change one battery every month or all four batteries every four months, what
difference does it make?
