aa battery life in 40D grip

[KRO]

hi,
as above really, does anyone know roughly how long i can expect the six AA batteries to last.............

not very long... I've never tried it myself but I seem to remember that a friend who did only got ~300 shots out of a set... you'd be better served buying a couple of spares from 7 day shop - http://www.7dayshop.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=777_3&products_id=8141

Never tried it but I always carry two fully charged spares AND the holder with AA's in it just in case. Places like 7 Day Shop are so inexpensive it makes best sense to have spares
