Thanks to all who have replied about this. It seems I must be jinxed or something.As Dean said, the batteries are supposed to last for years, I'm lucky to get 2 or 3 months, and I don't use it all that often.
Oh well, I'll have to see what Mr. Barclay has to say. Ted----- Original Message ----- From: "Gordon Atkinson" <g.atkinson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Hi Ted I have had my unit since the scheme started, using the same batteries, and have experienced no problems.

I am now on my third machine, and once again the batteries have expired, after very short usage. I am always scrupulously careful to switch off as soon as I have been given the password, so I'm sure I have not wasted the batteries. Clearly without the card reader there is no way for me to access my account before going out and buying new batteries. This has become such a pain I am writing to the bank to ask to go back to the old way of logging on. I am half prepared for an argument over this, and would therefore be interested to hear if others have had this problem.
