| | | Duracell ProCell Batteries
When my pump broke, the replacement pump came with 2 Procell batteries. I've never seen them before, but I got a like 5 weeks of juice on one of them (compared to 3 on a normal AAA). I decided to look where to buy them, and I found them online, a 24 pack for $25! Wow.
Anyone use these in their pump? |

| | | I don't think I've even seen these batteries before. I have a Minimed pump and they recommend only Energizers, so that's what I use. I get 6-7 weeks from one AAA Energizer battery, and I use the backlight often.
Does the battery in your Cozmo pump also power the meter, or does that require its own battery?

| | | I use the recommended Engergizer batteries in my MM515 pump and I change the battery every 5-6 weeks.

| | | I kind of go "against the grain," but I use the Energizer Lithium AAA batteries, and get about 2 months (+ sometimes) out of them on the Cozmo. The only difference I see in using the Lithiums, is that when the battery is nearly depleted, it seems to go a little quicker & alarm louder than with alkaline batteries.

| | | I use the energizer lithium in my animas 1250. A logical switch allows the user to switch between alkaline or lithium. I agree with Dewey on the lithium, when they go they go fast. I've gotten up to 12 weeks on them. |

One AAA in my pump is lasting about 4 weeks, I believe. I don't keep track.
