>Might be a defective gage, all three of mine have been going strong on the first set of batteries for going on 2 months now with no signs of weakness and near daily use. Is your shop very cold/damp or using a ventless gas heater that causes equipment to sweat? Might be moisture....
There's a fast measure mode that may boost the current consumption.
That may be a problem in running the batteries down.

Replacing the batteries worked fine. Then those died after a few hours of use too...
