For an AA Alkaline battery, the Eveready data book lists the following loads vs. hours, to a cutoff voltage of 1.0 volt: 1500 ohms = 1850 hours 300 ohms = 340 hours 150 ohms = 160 hours 75 ohms = 82 hours 50 ohms = 54 hours 30 ohms = 32 hours 10 ohms = 7.8 hours 4 ohms = 2.3 hours Hope someone will find this to be helpful.
