Hi Dan,

My batteries were wearing out more frequently than that, and seem to be
lasting longer now.  Don't have the answer to "Why?"  Just looked in the
Hove book on the M6 and didn't find it there.  I just know that I was 
repla-
cing batteries every 6 months before I started setting it to "B" & 
leaving the
shutter uncocked>
