Power consumption when running CHDK script?

Hi,

I know this will vary with different camera models and CHDK scripts, but I'm curious if someone have measured the power consumption while running CHDK scripts (with and without power-saving tricks e.g. turn of led and lcd)?

Regards,
Kes

Don't forget what the H stands for.

It seems that a rough estimate will be a power consumption of between 50-350 mAh. So If I consider an average consumption of 200 mAh I will have a good margin when selecting a proper battery and solar panel.
