I have the same flash and when its set to auto the batteries last for ages. On full they get used up pretty fast. The battery pack was hopeless and after a few months gave up the ghost. I always check with a flash meter, even when its not easy or convenient, it saves much grief. Once or twice in the past I've asked perfect strangers (in groups) to hold up the meter for me. Nowadays I don't do much of that kind of thing.
