Marshall collars?

Just got a new marshal tracking collar about 6 months ago and was wondering what brand battery and how many nights/hours people are getting out of them.I only used the lights the first set of batteries but the last 2 sets were used without the lights. Seems like i'm changing them alot for only hunting 3 or 4 nights a week for about 2 or 3 hours a night. I really like it but just seems like a short time. Lets hear it Ladies and Gents.....

Duracell or energizer. I have the old collar without lights but it will last for months on a set. Definately dont want to use the ole cheepoes.

I use the energizer since i have an 8 pack but i guess i'll try the Lithium next. I guess i'm just not really seeing the savings over the old collar yet. I'd put a $17 battery in and forget about it for a year and change it for the hell of it every year.

bout 30 hours w/lights on.

i use energizers, and i use mine with the lights on. I get about6 or 7 days of hunting out of a set fore i change em. The lights are still on but not near as bright. I hunt about 4 hours each time i go so thats about 30 hours of hunting time before i change em out. I still havent had a collar go dead yet so i dont know exactly how long they would actually last.

get the rechargables you will be glad you did. The ones I got can be charged up to a hundred times and last 4 times as long as most normal batteries.

Thats about what i see. My buddy said his are the original batteries in his also. I get the double beep in my unit and the light is also flashing red before i change them.
