Yes I know the Ds is hopelessly outdated, but I've been using it as

drain them, in less than a week, even when turned off. Now my *ist D
has always been a battery hog, but the Ds now even seems to beat
that. I have now idea what might be wrong but I was wondering if
anyone else had a clue. Needless to say it's not worth getting it
repaired, a good used one from KEH is going for less than the repair
bill would be.
Are you absolutely certain the lithiums are good? All the cells? One
weak one will make the whole set appear weak after little use.

I'm not sure all the lithium were good to start, but my voltage meter is
sure that after a week they were all doing a pretty good impression of a
Norwegian Blue...
