The SQM-LE is powered from a permanent supply: it has no battery.

However, anything much above 22 would be fairly suspect, and, as has already been mentioned in this thread, even the manufacturer states that readings significantly above 22 are likely to be inaccurate.
FYI, Darren says the readings reported on MyDarkSky must be in UTC, so you might want to fix the time on that reading.

Eric, I haven't seem Snake Valley readings appear yet.
