HP Prime Battery consumption analysis

[Boris]

I was just googling about Prime batteries and stumbled on this.

My Prime's batteries are dead. I basically bought the Prime day one, and am a pretty casual user, using it occasionally at most - my old HPs are more often used as when I need them they're always ready to go.

I think the calculator is a great machine but it is effectively disposable after battery dies. Finding a decent replacement battery is a pain as others on the thread correctly guessed. Replacing the calculator entirely is also a risk, it may also have a dud battery.

Rechargeable AAAs or something standard would have really helped.
