Kameleon Remote Control

Evening all,

Is it me or does your Kameleon remote seem to run out of battery extremly quickly, like after only a bit of use.

I am using rechargable batteries which have a rating of: 1000mAH (made by Vapex)

Does anyone else have this problem? What batteries do you use?

Thanks...

its a big problem, but thats where the charging cradle and some rechargables come in handy!

I don't think mine is compatible with the charger as it is the first generation ones......

If it's the one with the Flat EL screen, then it's because it's got a stupidly over sensitive tilt switch in it that turns on the backlight on if there's so much as an air current in the vicinity. That's what eats up the battery, not the remote itself.

You can disengage this (by internally modifying the remote, at your own risk), and the batteries will last substantially longer. You can probably find the details via google.

I have already done this and find the battery doesn't last long....
