TRX-1 bad battery life

[Ed6698]

As an update to this thread. It turned out (after months of issues with my TRX-1) that it had some kind of electronical defect. I received my replacement unit three days ago and battery life has at least doubled!

Good to hear you got things figured out. Did you get a charger? What batteries are you using?

I use Eneloop pro’s (2500 mAh) with the panasonic bq-cc55 charger. So far so good

when using for most of the day., I get 7-8 hrs., using 2500 mah rechargeable batteries., three different sets., three different manufacturers, all about the same time of use.
With the case on., I can disconnect the antenna., flip the belt clip upside down, remove the rubberized case, remove the back battery cover, remove the spent batteries., insert the replacements., reverse the above procedure and be back listening in last than two minutes.
That said., I do wish for and am looking for a longer battery life cycle !!

I've been using eneloop pros with an XSTAR VC4 and get great life out of mine, up to 12 hrs. Today I plugged the scanner into my computer instead of using the charger and had it charging all day while listening and when I unplugged it the battery icon read full so I started listening with it unplugged and the batteries only last for about a half hour and even though it read full when I started, it dropped quickly. The batteries have been recharged using the charger and are fine now. I guess in scanner charging isn't so great.
