Power usage of calculators

[brickviking]

Very rough comparison of TI 83+/SE, shows a description using about 30 mA while writing flash, and between 5 - 12 mA in other typical circumstances. That certainly puts the HP50G to shame, and is more comparable to the HP49G. I'm not sure how comparable that is to either of my Casios yet, I've yet to set up a testing rig to check the current draw. I also don't have the professional bench power supply that can supply a standard voltage or standard current, I've just got a digital multimeter. More info later when I have it.
