Is it a battery hog?

Didnt seem to be. Mine was damaged by leaking batteries and i mail it to duracell. I really miss the light.

Not too bad. But I use rechargeables almost everywhere now, so not too much of an issue for me. Not sure how regulars hold up. You can run it on 'low beam' to save energy.

If you use the higher lumen alot the battery life is not as long as the lower lumen use of this light, have had mine almost a year and I use it alot and have not had to change batteries yet, great light for a great price.

I haven't had mine that long yet but I always use it on high beam and haven't had to change the batteries yet.

I have my flahlight for approx. 10 to 12 weeks & still have the same batteries in that were in when I purchased it. I only use it for inspecting my school bus in the early mornings, when it is pitch dark. It gets used for approx. 3 to 4 mins. at a time. The light at present, is as bright now as it was when I got it. My boss bought me another light for the same job, for xmas. I love my TerraLux TlF -300 much better.

I can not answer for sure since I have not had this problem. I would think you have a bad connection in that battery loop

I have to replace my battery on average of once a month. The monitor gets used 90 minutes a day on average. This seems high to me. Not sure what other monitors performance is.

Does it still function properly? I think it may just mean your battery is low.

No, check position of batteries first, if it does not run, it is probably the inner workings. Return it.

Yeah it's normal, it sucks battery big time :-( other than that it's a cool camera. You need to invest in Sanyo Eneloop battery. They're the best!.

Your issue is a slow battery drain--yes this battery has a life that keeps giving.

I have had no problems whatsoever. I have had it for over a year now (I think). The battery does get warm so I try to put it in a well ventilated place to let the air cool it as much as possible. This happens whether my computer is on for 1 hour or 10 hours - I do not leave my computer in sleep mode.

YES YOU SHOULD BE CONCERNED. Do not use the battery as it may create a hazard. Dispose/recycle appropriately or return to manufacturer/seller.

Yes, I'm not sure but I had it running for about 3 hours off the charger and I had no notification saying that the battery was low

I have no problems with mine. I installed it 5 months ago - working perfectly. Make sure you follow the directions on the printed insert to cycle the battery before use. REMEMBER - the battery HAS TO BE CYCLED 4 to 6 times... that means FULLY charge the battery 10 hours and fully discharge it so the computer shuts down. Do this 4 or 5 times - this will make sure it reach full capacity. find out more here... http://www.laptopbattery1.com

Your current usage will determine how long the battery will last.If your running it to full capacity,then it mightn't last too long.

No, it is not. I turn it off when not in use and it still wastes batteries.

I can't answer that question in any certainty. But I do know that there a tendency for the battery to drain, and so for that reason I always unplug mine when not in use.

Yes/no, it's not using the battery power as long it's connected in the computer via USB. I converted about 300 hundred tapes into digital format without changing the batteries

I'm thinking it's a bad unit. Ours works fine. Have used it for 4 1/2 months and haven't changed the battery once.
