You can't really compare a 100 to a 110 as for battery life since the
110 uses
AA size cells whereas the 100 uses AAA size cells. This means the cells
powering
the 110 have about three times the capacity of those powering the 100.
As for the battery life in hours, this is difficult to say. It strongly
depends
on what you do with the Newton and for how long. If you do not switch
the 100
off after you change the battery, don't expect more than a couple of
hours.
But you can always use rechargeable batts that you charge in an external
charger.
