I've been meaning to write this up for the Cayenne forum, but in short, the contact that grabs the side of the battery is not soldered to the board. (it's a spring contact) This (with a little moisture) allows the contact pad, on the PCB (printed circuit board) to corrode, and add resistance to the path. Then batteries seem to toast quickly. But really, it's this bad contact that is casing problems.

Thx - spring thingie had broken away and I re-soldered. Gonna go nut up and pay the $5 to check. Back in a bit.
