Hey All,
I've had a few SMa's for a couple years (got them new) and two of them have slowly developed an increasingly persistent problem with the battery compartment. Hard to explain all the details exactly, but the short (possible pun intended?) of it is if I tighten down the battery cover all the way, as one typically would, the reported battery voltage drops VERY quickly (can kill a AA Lithium in <30 minutes). If I loosen the cover just slightly, the voltage springs back up and reads correctly. But any pressure on the cover, such as pushing on it intentionally or being sat on in talent's pocket, etc. will either cause the voltage to quickly drop or the unit to shut off entirely. This of course makes them completely unreliable for real world use. Visually, everything in the battery chamber looks clean and normal compared to my other units that work fine so I'm just sitting here scratching my head. Has anyone else seen a problem like this?
Anthony
