Heden Carat draining battery


Kevin Gallagher

Recommended Posts

I have a brand new Heden Carat FF and really enjoy using it. My only gripe is that when powered down it still draws enough juice to totally drain the internal 9v battery in the handset. This means that I have to constantly remove and replace the battery which involves putting strain on those small connecting wires. Anyone else have this happening?

 

thanks

Kevin

Kevin,

Lots if us are dealing with the same thing, not draining while turned off but the batteries not lasting longer than half a day . I haven't tried rechargeable yet but all the ACs I told about this all said the rechargeables are worse. Lithium seem to be the best bet so far for me

I use ipowerus 520mah rechargeables. They last about 5-6 hours, which is reasonable. I do worry about the 9v connectors becoming dodgy and occasionally have to tighten the connectors if it doesn't power back up after a battery change but it seems like it would be fairly easy to replace should it fail.
