question about Ex ll

Have a 12 year old EX ll with sef 10x12 coil ...Im running about 2 hours on fully charged battery and 4-5 hours with AA batteries. Is this a problem with my Explorer ll .?? ONe of the rechargeable battery is brand new :confused:
 
Seems a bit excessive on power draw. I usually use AA rechargeable batteries, they usually last all day + a little bit more, when I use alkaline batteries they usually last a whole weekend. Might be the settings you use, if you use a wide open screen where it beeps at everything you would use more power.
 
grunt0311, I have to charge my battery a good 12 or 13 hours before it is fully charged in order to get several hours out of it.
And I know the AA's have to be a good quality in order to get several hours out of them.
If these are similar to your stuff then you might have another issue.
Maybe post this in the classroom forum.

Just a thought are you running with the back screen light on?
