HP10S
Hello!
[Image: hp10s.jpg]

I have an HP10S.
Well, my doubt is if it works with sun light, because when I put my finger over cell light and cover it all, it does no take any effect.

Does its internal battery work as a back up?

Ah, the HP 10s+ (not 10S). Yes, the battery takes over if there's not enough light for the solar panel to produce enough energy to run the calculator.

Congratulations on your acquisition of a Casio in (very thin) disguise.

RE: HP10S
It almost certainly is a dual-power machine, i.e. both a solar cell and battery. It looks nearly identical to the Casio fx-300MS, which has the same power supply system.

It probably *IS* a Casio fx-300MS...

RE: HP10S
Hello!

According to the manual (https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=...YD6VFifdkC) it uses a lithium battery of type LR44 as a backup when there is not enough light to power it.

If it goes out when the solar cell is covered (as in the initial posting) that battery is either discharged or missing.

Regards
Max

Huh? The LR44 is an alkaline battery.

The OP says that the calculator does not go out when covering the solar panel, which leads him to believe that there's a battery picking up the slack when needed.

You are right of course. I was caught by someone else's mistake ;-) as the first Google result I got for "LR44" was this: https://www.welectron.com/Varta-LR44-Lit...15V-125mAh

LOL Smile It even says "ALKALINE" on the packaging of the battery!

RE: HP10S
Indeed its name is HP10s+.

I was sure it was an original HP. Now I dont know.
It seems that the Asgards, from Stargate SG1, made such a perfect copy.:-)
