Fisher F2 users - What kind of battery life are you experiencing from your detector? I used my F2 for just the second time today and it dropped a bar of battery life already. Is this normal for this unit? I'm using alkaline batteries as per the manufacturer's instructions. I am also always using headphones.

Fisher F2 battery life question

Once in awhile I drop a bar after just a couple of hours, but that is rare and I chalk it up to a bad or not fully charged battery.
Most of the time I go several hours before the first bar drops.
Usually I will change them when I get down to 1 bar, sometimes 2, but I have gone to the end a few times and I got several hunts and close to 20 hours out of them.
When they get real low I don't seem to lose a whole lot of depth, maybe I might but it is not real noticeable.
After I put new batteries in it sure gets louder, though.
Lately I have been getting 8 packs of Ray-o-vac batteries from my local Batteries Plus store.
The first two I put in I dropped a bar pretty fast, but every set after that seems to last and last before a bar drops off.
