Can anyone tell me how many hours we should get out of 1) the rechargable battery and 2) 8 alkalines.
I do not use the backlight as I feel this will really drain batteries. Also, when pinpointing, another battery drainer. Thanks Jim

Without looking it up, I'm sure battery life is covered in the owners manual at the top of the Forum. I run my backlight at 10 and it seems like it uses about 10-15% more power. I think the backlight drain is modest and I would rather have it on than try to save a little charge time and I don't think the pinpoint feature uses much more, if any more, battery than just leaving it in search mode either.
