Drayton digistat rf2 wireless system - battery life?

[ugboot]

Hello, does anyone know which would be the most suitable batteries that should be used for the drayton digistat rf2 wireless system. I've been having to change batteries every month so far, when using ordinary AA batteries.

Does anybody know where I would be able to purchase some decent batteries?

Kind regards
UB

Only alkaline batteries, eg energiser or duracell should be used.

A set of batteries should last approx 12 months

Thanks for the advice gas4you

I'm sure I've been using alkaline batteries....! hmmm, they only seem to be lasting approx. a month. Any other ideas??

Cheers, UB

Agreed, they last a year or so. Some cheap alkalines are poor, but that sounds too poor!

In my experience they last up to two years if you get duracell and less if you dont.
