Battery Handle lasts for 20 minutes?

Is anyone else having this trouble? I have to replace AA batteries every 20 minutes or so.

Yeah I am getting no more than an hour on mine with rechargeable batteries. I also have to max out the LED in the buttons bc I cant see them in the sunlight.

it’s because Elektron wants you to buy more throw-away batteries. AA… I always hated them.

…of course u got proper rechargeable ones in use, right?
…one cycle throw away ones are the worst thing u can do to the world…
…especially the no name xtra cheap ones…DON’T!

I can’t see any suggestion for how long batteries could/should last on the Elektron site. I imagine that’s because batteries are too variable to make any assertion about.

How long are people getting out of their Models with handles?

Try using decent rechargeable batterys like Eneloops. Im think the normal eneloops are 2000maH and they do better ones that are closer to 2500 maH.
