标题: BA II Battery [打印本页] 作者: domani 时间: 2011-7-13 16:18 标题: BA II Battery
Hi guys,
I am wondering how long the BA II battery lasts for.
I bought it 3 years ago and have not changed battery since.
Should I change the battery or just keep it?作者: ramzes 时间: 2011-7-13 16:18
You can carry extra battery with you in the exam..作者: Jolyn 时间: 2011-7-13 16:18
i changed it just to be sure!作者: agulani 时间: 2011-7-13 16:18
Just keep it. Before the battery gets empty, the numbers on the display slowly start to fade, but then you still have about 10 hours of battery life left.作者: Londonrocks 时间: 2011-7-13 16:18
and it wouldn't exactly be the best time for the display to... slowly.. start... to... fade.. on exam time!作者: amqata 时间: 2011-7-13 16:18
Why fiddle about in the exam with changing batteries...make it a yearly thing to change batteries the week or day before the exam (like a fire alarm battery replacement). I believe my post is the most risk reducing approach in the thread.

I was looking to replace it..but didn't get much info online!! Anyone know where to buy it in NYC!!作者: MonkeyBusiness 时间: 2011-7-13 16:18

How many do you feel that BA II plus professional keys are hard to press and that makes you slow as well while exam?
Does anyone know if I can carry BA II and professional both in the exam?作者: suyash1989 时间: 2011-7-13 16:18

I certainly that so, that the professional version keys are too hard to press. Not a problem at work but yes, will be when you are struggling for time. I bought the professional one but didn't even bring in to the exams. Brought 2 normal BA II plus for the exams.作者: marsilni 时间: 2011-7-13 16:18

It is made in china, so i guess you can easily find batteries as well over there...

Does anyone else agree with Ishfaque that I can carry both BAII professional and BA II in the exam?作者: Beatnik 时间: 2011-7-13 16:18

The more you use the professional, the softer the keys become作者: evolsteevol 时间: 2011-7-13 16:18
I don't know how "more" is this more and how much training my calculator would need to become softer. So far, I have not been noticing any signs of keys becoming softer and I don't know if I will be able to get those any softer before exam. I would still stick to my plan of carrying both plus and professional if that is allowed. However, I am not sure if plus is any softer although it looks soft from the appearance.作者: Benjiko 时间: 2011-7-13 16:18

which one are you using everyday ?
I have the BA II plus professionak, and I have no issue with the keys. I feel like at the beginning i found them a little hard, but now, after using it almost everyday for months, I have no complain. and I really like the shape, the color, the design compare to the other one...hehehe, yes i'm a girl, on top of the performance, i'm also concerned with the look...作者: siavosh 时间: 2011-7-13 16:18

Yes, that's what I heard from CFA institute. I don't think I can handle 5. It will be too confusing for me. I think I need two and can handle them as long as they are of different colors.作者: Penny-wenny 时间: 2011-7-13 16:18

Kidding you mean about being a guy or about not liking it?
