Current drain will be about 32-34 mA using headphones and with the LED display
brightness adjusted for typical hotel-lighting conditions (LED=0, 1, or 2). This
translates to about 85 hours of listening time for lithium 1.5-V AA cells, and
somewhat less for NiMH or Alkaline.

How does this compare to your present SWL receivers?
