i hear the supercard lite drains battery, but how much?

i was reading on some site and it said that the GBA version of SUpercard drains alot of battery, but how much?

Nds version seems to take away 20% of power but i want to know how much gba version takes away.

anyone know?

Its actually combination of passcard and supercard.  Here are tests done by immortalninja
"Ok did a proper test this time with all the same settings.
And it clocked in at 4hrs 22Mins.
So in summary so far:

All using the same SuperCard MiniSD and the same battery leaving SuperMarioKart
Full Brightness and max vol through headphones:

UnFLashed DS
Orginal Cart: 5hrs 10Mins
SuperKey in DS Slot: 4hrs 15Mins
SuperKey Removed: 4hrs 22Mins

FLASHED DS
DS Slot Empty: 4hrs 20 Mins
DS Slot with Cart: 4hrs 24 Mins
Using SuperCard Lite: 4hrs 24 Mins

So I conclude that having a flashed ds or superKey makes bugger all difference to battery life during normal play...for my DS.
I'm quite sure it makes a difference to the sleep mode though.
Not sure how I'm going to test that unless the difference is significantly different..... "

so is playing a GBA rom from the Supercard any different or will it be the same as NDS? cuz it doesnt run from the SD chip

You shoudl be looking at about the same amount of battery life.
