Hey kerry-anne

I dont have this kind of pump but I just had a look for one and I think it must use more power because unlike the graseby it has the little info screen on it. Just a guess really, My graseby batteries last weeks!

Can you use rechargeable batteries more cheaper in the long run?

Or you could ring the company and ask them how long a battery is suppose to last?

Sorry cannot be of more help.

My Graseby battery only got changed twice in 3 years??????? xx

I change my Graseby batteries every month when I remember.

Can you get the batteries from the supplies peeps who supply syriges?

I used to but now stock up in IKEA.

What sort of batteries does it take. You may need to be aware of using rechargeables though..

New pumps with more dispalys may use more 'juice'.

would it go in a bum bag? or an across the shoulder bag? what does manufactor suggest you use?

Rechargeable batteries have a lower wattage

Oh dear, I mentioned to Debbie at the RBH that my black strap had broken again and i am sure she told me that the RBH are switching to the McKinley pump, she said I would not like it cos it is bigger...

On the plus side as I have a pump for my tummy problems I will need to buy new bigger bags!
