The OWL ones seem to last plenty long enough on their batteries - roughly
a year or so.

What model have you had trouble with and what sort of batteries?

They all tend to be very low current draw but need full voltage to have
decent display contrast and as such do not like rechargeable batteries at
all. Initial terminal voltage is already too low to work properly.

AA's in about a fortnight......just bad luck in my case as usual I pick all
the lemons probably as price is my only consideration when buying.... .....
