Just a curiosity question re battery life - iRig Pro..

[miden]

Why is it the iRig Pro Duo will run for 10 hours (playback only) on niMh batteries, but onyl three hours on alkalines?

As I wrote above, just curious is all

NB: asked at the IK forum, with no response at all!

Is that your own experience, or what the brochure says?

Because it doesn't sound very logical indeed:

It is from our Specs page for iRig Pro Duo and it is based on real-world testing and experience. As an example you can see it is in line with information found elsewhere like this "battery myths vs battery facts" link: http://www.greenbatteries.com/battery-m ... y-facts-1/

Thanks Peter. Interesting article. Certainly stuff I didn't know. My battery knowledge is still in the 70's/80's haha!

@ BertKoor - yes from the brochure/specs but that doesn't make it wrong
