Interesting!

The estimation is based on the power drain of the old recorders. Could the FM/V2 units be using more power than the old ones? Has anybody measured the actual mA drain from the batteries on a V2/FM?

The difference however appears to be well within the margin of error. Did you try several test runs?

Please add your findings to the BatteryTest page:
