I think it's battery consumption is comparable to that of other

However, my understanding is that, if you listen to XM while using
batteries, they'll probably only last around four hours or so. I
believe there's a lengthy discussion of the E1's battery consumption on
the E1 group on Yahoo.

I think it's around 40-50 hours on a set of alkalines. The XM antenna
will reduce that by 75%.
