Battery life..

Aloha, I've used my ET-73 for a total of 9 hours now. How many hours before next battery change? I'll buy some spares today, but I just need a ballpark estimate. Thanks all!!!!

on my original et-73, I don't think I've ever changed the batteries in either the base or the receiver. That's got to be well over 100 hours. I probably should change them :)

They will last a long time, I've has some last over a year +. Have your backup ready. I use the chargeable type, luckily I can use the same charger for my camera batteries. Good luck my friend.
