I bought one a few months ago, and it doesn't have any of the bad symptoms you are describing... Dan On Feb 21, 2013, at 8:15 PM, Chuck Hards <chuck.hards@gmail.com> wrote:
Just to be sure that I didn't put in two pair of dead (but new) batteries, today at lunch I bought another pack of brand-new AAA cells and installed two of them. The laser worked fine for the thirty seconds I tested it. At home at 4:30, it still produced a bright green dot for the ten seconds I tested it. Tonight at 8:00 PM, the batteries are dead.
Andrew sent a follow-up email that he was dropping a replacement in the mail in the morning.
If anyone else bought one of these and only tried it out the night you bought it, I'd appreciate it if you'd stick some fresh batteries in it and leave them in overnight. Then check it the next day and let me know if you have the same off-condition battery drain.
Thanks!

He's going to mail a replacement out to me at no charge. The plan is for me to return the defective one to him at the next club meeting.
Great service. Watching my mailbox.

I just heard back from Andrew is he is very apologetic. He intends to replace it. Good follow-up service.
Stay tuned.
