Lucky,

My BCL-2000 is two years old and I have never changed its batteries. When
I first got it, I went to the Dollar Store and bought four cheap Panasonic
alkaline D-cells. Two years later, they are just now needing to be
replaced. At first, I listened several hours a day, but lately my wife has
been using the radio in the kitchen because it was something that she
could pick up a distant FM station that plays really good music, so I'm
not sure how much she has actually been using it.

I can assure you that you will be pleasantly pleased with this radio's
frugality with batteries.


Wow. That's a pretty damn neat trick that they pulled off. 2 years on one
set of 4 D's. But, considering I'm willing to stay with Double Dees for more
then 4 years myself....if she'd stay that is, I can see the radio loving 4
