Here's the appropriate bits snarfed from Magnus' test results that he did=
=20
a while ago..


            Operation Mode Power Consumption Battery Life Notes
      Normal stand-by 4.9mA 245 hours When waiting for keyboard input
     Normal active 15.8mA 76 hours When calculating, graphing, running
                                program etc
   Normal shutdown 0.8=B5A 1500000 hours =3D 171 years When turned off usin=
g
                                 [2nd][ON]
   Normal auto-shutdown 0.8=B5A 171 years When left on until auto-shutdown
    ZShell menu 4.7mA 255 hours When ZShell is waiting for you to chose
      which program to run. As you see, ZShell is even better than the
   TI-OS. Add HALT instructions to your program's keyloops, and they will
                          be about this good too!
      ZShell running 16.6mA 72 hours When a ZShell program is running
     ZShell shutdown 0.8=B5A 171 years When ZShell is shut down, or when
                 auto-shutdown happened from within ZShell
