Back in 1993, someone's calculator battery ran out and they didn't have any backup. The person got completely panicked/enraged, gripped their calculator in their hand and began to bludgeon the nearest fellow test-taker. That test taker later died in what is now commonly referred to among CFA candidates as the "Great Negative NPV Transaction" (he paid to take the exam and the return on his investment was death).

I suggest you bring at least 2 back-up calculators (1 BA II Plus and 1 HP) and an extra set of batteries for both.
