Nikon Coolpix L11 review

Reviews If you plan on shooting with any regularity, these more expensive, rechargeable batteries will pay for themselves very quickly. While alkalines are plentiful enough, we recommend buying a set of rechargeable NiMH batteries instead.

Fujifilm FinePix S1000fd review

Reviews One-handed shooting is possible, although the AA batteries make it heavier than it looks. We had no complaints about battery life, bearing in mind that the S1000fd is powered by AA batteries. We didn't have to change the batteries in a week of use...

Which kind of radio listener am I?

Reviews Mains, but able to take batteries for emergencies and occasional outdoor listening Batteries (preferably rechargeable) I have a few favourite stations that I listen to most of the time. I only plan to buy one digital radio and I might want to take...

What are my choices?

Reviews Finally, most use rechargeable batteries (usually lasting 8 to 20 hours per charge) that you can't replace yourself, so after several years, you might have to pay for a new model or pay to get the battery replaced.

Sony Alpha DSLR-A700 review

Reviews With the battery grip attached and loaded with two batteries, the camera reports for both batteries. Weighing 768g including batteries, the A700 feels solid and well made. Sony's older, entry-level Alpha DSLR-A100 has its share of fans, but we soon...

BenQ DC C1050 review

Reviews It feels pretty weighty, mainly due to the two AA batteries providing the juice. The right-hand side of the camera is flared to accommodate the batteries, and makes it easy to grip. Battery life isn't great, but the advantage of AA batteries is...

Logitech Cordless Desktop S 510 review

Reviews Just load the included batteries (the mouse takes two AA batteries, while the remote and keyboard take two AAA each), plug in the USB receiver and press the connect buttons on the receiver and each device.

HP Photosmart M23 review

Reviews If you're not careful, you could run down the batteries with such inadvertent power-ups. Sufficiently compact to fit in a trouser pocket, the camera weighs 175g with batteries and a memory card installed.

Olympus FE-210 review

Reviews The extra heft also gives the camera enough room to hold its two AA batteries. While the camera doesn't come with rechargeable batteries, AA batteries are cheaper and easier to swap and replace than the rechargeable lithium-ion batteries the other...

Gear4 Duo review

Reviews Batteries power the front speakers when not connected to the sub, and while they'll continue to work if the system has no mains power, the batteries won't power the sub too. Gear4's thinking is that you'll leave the sub plugged in, but when you...

Ultra-portable laptops

Reviews Some laptops have hot-swappable batteries. An internal power cell keeps the laptop running while you swap batteries, so you can keep working without losing your data. Big, powerful laptops have their place -- but they're completely useless for...

Nikon Coolpix L6 review

Reviews According to Nikon, the L6 can shoot up to 1,000 images on a pair of lithium batteries -- the company even includes a pair of Energizer AA e2 lithium batteries with the camera. Nikon makes use of the thickness of AA batteries to fashion a subtle...

Altec Lansing inMotion iM7 review

Reviews The iM7 takes eight D-size batteries -- in case you're not familiar with these, they're the biggest batteries you can hope to buy from the average shop. The speaker system alone is heavy, but when you add to that the weight of eight D-size...

Canon PowerShot A710 IS review

Reviews DesignFans of the A series will note that the camera's grip isn't as large as some of the others' in the line, mostly because the A710 IS is powered by two AA batteries instead of four. This makes for a more pocketable design, and Canon still rates...

Intempo TRS-01 review

Reviews You'll find a small plug-in power supply in the box for running the radio from the mains, but it can also be powered by four AA batteries. DAB radios generally draw a lot of power, but the TRS-01 will keep running for around 10 hours on batteries...
