Someone bothered to test the battery life of handhelds
Here's the linky!
I'm actually pleasantly surprised by how much better the 3DS XL's battery was, relatively speaking. (Note that the stats are for maximum brightness if applicable, which means brightness 5 for the 3DSes and DSis, brightness 4 for the DS Lite, light on for original DS and front-lit GBA SP, and level 2 for backlit GBA SP. The Game Boy Color is a total champ, though. o.O (If only no one touched the Game Boy...) |

This has given me interest in the Mugen line of products. A 10 hour gain in battery life? Wow.
I'm mostly surprised that the GBC beat out the original Game Boy. I would think the GB would have the best battery life due to it being monochrome. |

I have 2 Wiimotes that take different batteries, actually. I have the standard one that came with the system, and I bought a smaller one that takes 2 AAAs. As far as I can tell, it doesn't have much of a difference with power, though I've never really tested it. They seem to control equally well, though the smaller one takes a few minutes to warm up before it stops controlling slippery. I suppose there's a different voltage, which would impact a regular Wiimote, and the battery lives are probably a bit off, but I think the fact that the overall unit is smaller helps it run on smaller batteries.

AA: 2.122 Ah * 1.225 V = 2.599 Wh AAA: 1.150 Ah * 1.225 V = 1.409 Wh And comparing the watt-hours: 100% * 2.599 Wh / 1.409 Wh - 100% = 84.5% The typical AA battery has 84.5% greater capacity than the typical AAA battery, assuming identical composition. For anyone else interested, the ampere-hour ratings on other common alkaline (at "1.5V", 1.225 true volts) cells: C: 7,800 mAh (9.555 Wh), 554% greater than AAA D: 17,000 mAh (20.825 Wh), 1100% greater than AAA Last edited by Cat333Pokémon; September 22, 2012 at 01:30:38 PM. |
