Hamilton 955 module excessive battery draw problem

Post19 Oct 2010, 01:14

Does anyone have an idea what would cause excessive battery draw on a 955 module in a Hamilton watch. I have replaced the batteries twice, using the Duracell 386 and 301 Silver Oxide batteries and they do not last more than 3-4 day in the watch. The watch is not worn and I have had it sitting close by to watch it to see if it came on on its own, nothing. What would be causing this to happen? :cry:

Thank you for the response Jeff. I was beginning to wonder if I was even getting thru on this site. So far, I have replace the cells a 3rd time using ones I know were fresh and (Fingers Crossed) it is still running after 6 days. If it goes down again I am set up to test the module using a 3v Lithium cell. I will post back the results and either have good news of the module or planning a burial ceremony for it. ~:(

Watch is still working and keeping great time with batteries from the jeweler. Guess that teaches me a lesson about buying button cell batteries from Walmart.
