I got alkaline Radio Shack batteries for my HP-28S, and I had frequent
Memory Lost occurences until I got some Kodak Supralife batteries.  I
believe others have reported similar short life problems with the Radio
Shack ALKALINES, so I would recommend staying away from them.  I didn't
even know they had non-alkaline N cells.
