"the battery life of the 60CSx is 30% less compared to the 60CS. Without
using the backlight or the electronic compass I measured 27 hours and 42
minutes for the 60CS and 19 hours and 23 for the 60CSx (30% less). With
using the backlight for about half of the time at 50% and occasional use
of
the compass I measured 19:31 for the 60CS and 13:17 for the 60CSx (32%
less). I used rechargeable batteries from Ansmann with a capacity of
2600mAh
for all the tests."
