I don't know about ya'll but I set up my Excal so when I turn it on, its ready to go. I turn it off by undoing the battery plug. It saves on the switch as the on/off Threshold knob went bad from use one time. To save on it, I've gotten in the habit of unplugging it. When my NiCads quit, I converted the casings to Alkaline batteries. I use Dollar Store batteries, 8 AA's are about $2.00 about a day' of found change keeps me in batteries. I have two sets and get about 14 hours out of those cheapie batteries. Even when the low battery signal goes off, I've got about 1/2 an hour of use. Anybody else do it this way?
