HP HP-32S - Power and Batteries; Low-Power Indicator

Power and Batteries
The calculator is shipped with alkaline batteries. A fresh set of three
alkaline batteries provides approximately a year of normal use. How
ever, expected battery life depends on how the calculator is used;
frequent, long calculations require more power than short, periodic
calculations. The calculator consumes the most power while running
programs or doing long calculations (like SOLVE or /FN). For any
level of use, mercury and silver oxide batteries last about twice as
long as alkaline batteries.
Use only fresh button-cell batteries. Do not use rechargeable batteries.
The following batteries are recommended for use. Not all batteries are
