Explorer 600+ poor battery performance

Postby LloydL » Sat Feb 24, 2007 5:59 pm

I'm getting very poor battery performance with my new Explorer 600+. The
user guide says under "normal" usage the 2500mAH battery should provide
10-12 hours of usage. However, I am only able to get 5-6 hours of use on a
charge (not even a full work day!).

I've set the settings to the most efficient setup I know how but no help.
I have to use alkaline batteries to make to rest of the work day when the
NiMH battery pack goes dead but can only get 3-4 hours out of a set of
alkaline batteries.

Does this indicate my NiMH battery pack is defective or should I change
some other setting to get the 10-12 hours of use?

Also, can the 2500mAH batteries sold for digital cameras, etc. be use in
the Explorer 600+. Should you use the alkaline or NiMH setting with the
six individual NiMH batteries?

Thanks,
