Form what I heard about the HP28 eating those alive I would forget it.  However
has anyone ever thought of Silver Oxide batteries?  That is what I use in my
HP11C and HP16C and I rarely change them.  If I use Alkalines in them, the
batteries are dead within a few days. :(

It's as if they (Alkalines) just have no staying power.
