iv never found my hopper (empire reloader b2) to eat batteries (touch wood) and i havnt changed them at all this year, and iv played pretty much every other weekend. i also leave my hopper on.I traded my reloader for a Vlocity as the reloader (& my halo) both ate batteries like no business (3 cases of a fresh set of procells).
Vlocity is better IMO for battery useage although its 9V instead of AAA
