With all the gear we have that use batteries for power, I'm wondering if anyone has seen results of tests that show the miliamp/hours of power available from different battery options, for example AA alkaline, AA Lithium, and maybe the so-called Ultra Duracells? It will probably vary with different rates of drain. Some results for rechargeable batteries might be interesting, also. I've noticed that the Garmin GPS 12 really eats batteries-almost too much to use it for constant operation. I usually just turn it on for a location/distance or speed check while in currents. It also has the annoying habit of switching on in a waterproof case unless you tape something into place to shield the on-off switch from accidental contact.
