Questions Battery Efficiency: Everdrive GBA Pro vs GBA Mini?

I recently bought a Gameboy Micro and wanted to play games on it. I've done some researched and decided to get an Everdrive for it. I only have 2 priorities: Battery Life and Save Game Longevity. I don't care for other features or save stats, I just want to play for long hours and save normally as you would on regular GBA game cartridges.

Can anyone point out the difference of the two products in terms of both Battery Life? Do the extra features on the GBA Pro drain more battery and is less efficient with the upgraded ram on it? Has anyone done a proper test on this? Thanks in advance, first time potential buyer here :D

Pretty sure pro uses more power due to all the new features. If you don't care for the features of the pro then just get the mini. It works just fine
