I know egrips are notorious battery burners, but i was wandering if it
is normal for it to go through batteries while it is in storage.
i had a fresh battery in, then about 4 days later, i got it out, and it
was dead. i cant remember if i turned it off or not, but i think
i did.

The battery was gone after a day of play and few days of compulsive clicking.
 I'd save for a was or ape board. They're supposed to be better on batteries. |

It shuts off automatically if it isn't being used after like 10 minutes.

Make sure your E-grip comes with the new WAS board. It's shipping with them from what I hear, but some places are still getting rid of their old supply. |

You should really *remove* your battery when it's in storage. As you know there is no on/off switch, and there is always some battery drain (leakage current) even when in "sleep mode." That being said, 4 days is pretty bad... maybe a bad batch of batteries? |
