the SSM2166 draws about 10mA of current. Four NiMH AA batteries have
1800mAhr capabilities. At full charge that delivers 5.6VDC to the
chip. Well within the operating range. Should get about 150 hrs of
operation. Add a charging circuit and you have no more issues.

James, you are very similar to Frank... in that you have distinct
ideas. The problem you both have is one of conveyance. I have made
every effort to answer your questions in a civil manner... but you
continue to rant uncontrollably. I'm not sure by what authority you
speak... since you have no design of your own. Therefore, the
conversation with Frank and James is ended as far as I'm concerned. If
some others have questions, I'd be more than happy to attempt to
answer you. If you don't wish to use this forum... I fully understand.
Please email me anytime.
