Batteries in the TI LCD Programmer lasted years. But I haven't opened that
drawer in YEARS.

That is a really nice calculator, IFF you can plug
it in.
Battery life is negligible. around 1.5 to 2 years out of one 9V battery in
mine, always on my desk,
used
every couple of days. It does turn itself off
after a short period of
inactivity (1 minute or so - first rotating decimal point pattern then off)
It certainly IS "TRUE"!
The battery life of THREE that I have had has always been HOURS, NOT
YEARS.
OTOH, the LCD model gives years on batteries.
