Well, the back panel says to use a 300mA external supply, so
*theoretically* it shouldn't draw more than 300mA when charging dead
batteries with the light on and audio present.

Don't know what the current draw is on the Pro-95, but I have had up to 18
hours under normal usage, (backlighting off) on the Radio Shack batteries.

I use 1800mAH NiMh and charge them about once a week. I usually turn it on
about 6 hours a day.

The same type of batteries in my Yupiteru MVT-7100 have to be charged every
other day under the same conditions.

Rechargable batteries!

Assuming that it's the same as the PRO-93: 90mA squelched. The manual doesn't
say how much it draws to reproduce audio.
