Talk about stupid design! No less than eight AA batteries. Don't know how long they would last and don't really care but I'll bet it's not long.
I'll just wait for convection to do it's job thanks very much.

I bought my 12" dob about 2 years ago and it came with one of those little 8 AA battery packs. I have used it very regularly, run it all night most nights, and even had it running in the house to de-Dew the mirror the next day quite often.
Now this is where it is strange, It came with El-Cheapo no-name AA batteries and yet they have never gone flat! They still run perfect after 2 years of heavy usage!!!
