Which battery for the Endura? A very good question that must be answered. The Endura is designed to operate with 2 AA (AA) cells designed. Its software can be between the 3 main types:
-
- Alkaline Lithium NiMH
- differ
. These three types differ in the open circuit voltage and the discharge curve, and of course, in capacity.

ydrid (NiMH) batteries have a voltage of only 1.2V - used therefore needs to be communicated to the software, swap battery type. Warning there are still a blur at the Endura in the software. Alkaline and NiMH are reversed. Sets of NiMH battery pack, please type alkaline one. Once this problem is fixed, I'll post here!
An alkaline battery is often a higher capacity than 1500 mAh. Thus, the Endura would run maybe 5-6 hours. The quality of batteries just in the supermarket is often very poor. These batteries are used only as an emergency reserve. Best as a backup, the more expensive lithium. With its 3000 mAh maturities of up to 15 hours. The most common
NiHM are cells. Here today we have two technologies. I want your attention to the "Ready to Use" send cells. Representatives of this genus are:
- Sanyo Eneloop (2000 mAh)
- Panasonic Infinium (2100 mAh)
- Sony Cycle Energy (2100 mAh)
These batteries have only a very low self discharge and can be stored for long periods of time. A conventional NiMH Battery has usually already after 2 weeks of half of its capacity through self-discharge. The Ready-2-use cells still have a very flat discharge curve and thus give off more energy over a longer period. We must note that the Endura works up to a voltage of 0.9 volts and then turns off. The Ready-2-use cells fulfill the requirement in the best and give their full capacity effectively from the device. Thus, the Endura is around 10 hours running time. Charging is completed at a 2000s cell and a good solar charger within 10 hours. This allows a complete independence on a grand tour of the socket. Who by the way the GPS for guidance only and thus takes on only for orienting faces, with a set of ready-2-Use about a 2 week tour.
As a universal charger for home use I recommend the AV4. On this website:
