What burned through the most batteries?

[shyndman]

Saw a comment on the Talking Snow White mirror (strange toy) on another post which mentioned batteries. What classic toy used up batteries the most? For me, the answer is easy. The cars for my Motorific Torture Track. I went through mountains of AA batteries and was always shifting batteries around trying to get a few more laps out before they died completely. Before Alkalines came out, batteries did not last long . . .

Which toy used up batteries the most for you?

Stompers went through a lot of Batteries. You were best to keep a 6-pack of AAs in your pockets at all times playing with those.

My MOTU Attack-Trak ran through quite a bit too, and it ran on Cs or Ds as I recall...

I can't remember if the Remco Energized guys ate up batteries or not. I do recall my Spider-Man battery bay being corroded...

Big Trak devoured them - the big ones too. I can't remember what code they were.
Most remote or radio controled cars has a thirst too.

Fun thread - nice one.

From what I remember, we never had batteries around the house, so once the set that came with the toy died, that was it for me. All of my toys ran on kid power.

That thing in my wife's nightstand.

I think it's some sort of cell phone, 'cause it's always on vibrate....
If it isn't, it's the worst flashlight ever....

^^^LOL
That thing is called Big Jak, a close second to Big Trak in battery usage

Fun for the WHOLE family....

I remember my Batman bike horn running through them a lot. Of course I'm sure it was because I used it constantly.
