I'm still using the battery that came with my HM, purchased well over a year ago. Dan C. At 01:46 PM 21-07-99 -0700, you wrote: >At 09:44 PM 07/20/1999 -0700, Mark Cohen wrote: >Yup. I'm on my third set of batteries in less than two months. My original replacement happened when I thought the meter had died, and I brought the then-new body to the Leica team at a local clean and check. The battery was given to me gratis, and I was advised that there is a trickle drain on the electronics unless you turn the knob to the off position. My first battery lasted less than one week! That second one drained when I once more forgot to move the shutter dial away from one of the speeds. Don't know how long it lasted, but it's sure costing a lot of money to compensate for this shortcoming. > >> >>Hi, >> >>I have an M6 TTL that I keep in the off position.
