Nucleuscontour 24 3G battery life

[Guest guest]

Hello Group,

I know I seldom post, but I do read the posts here often. I usually get

about 45-50 hours per set of batteries from Power One from last years order, &

recently received a new order of 300 batteries that expire in 2014. Problem is,

I am not getting the 50 hours of battery life like with the last order batch. My

hours go now from 38 hours & sometimes 45-50 hours. My spare processor, which I

never wear, does no better. I never get exposed to loud noises or change my

volume setting, and I do use my dry & store every night. Anyone have any ideas?

I am planning to get a Nuke 5 early next year. Thanks for your help....Barry in
