First off I must stress, THIS IS NOT A PROBLEM WITH THE MACHINE! my Laser Hawkeye came supplied with a full set of batteries 'pre-loaded' into the battery pods. I installed the battery pods into the Hawkeye, and went out detecting for 5 hours on Sunday. I went out tonight for about 20 minutes, and then experienced total battery failure! 'HMMMM...' I thought, something not right here! I'm supposed to get around 20 hours of use out of these suckers, and I only got 5.20!
Went back home to install a set of 'Duracells' that fortunately I picked up today. When I opened the battery compartments, I noticed 'MOISTURE' and thought ' funny I aint been near no water'
had a taste, and thought ughhh! battery leakage!!! which SUCKS, considering the use-by date on them is May 2008!!!! I will be phoning my dealer tomorrow, and here's a picture of the 'offending items' so you all know what to look out for! I suggest if you have these nasty little suckers in your machine, take them out and bin them! HH charlie(UK).
