These are a pretty good light, but the battery life is absolute shite. In the specs they say 5hours max & 20hours on min but I'm lucky to get 1.5 on high.
My mate Muzza gets similar results so what are you guys finding?

I have the SEO 7R and would have to agree with you. I carry a power pack when on multiple day trips for this reason.
And i thought my h14 sucked the battery's :o
yip they are not flash, was thinking of going to a petzl next. i just carry enigizer industrial batterys and run it on low power.
My h14 seems to vary - lasts ages sometimes then sucks thru the batteries real quick other times. I have just bought a Black Diamond Icon, box reckons it lasts 70hrs on high, 175hrs on low!
I have the Seo7R, battery life is crap, at the best.
Yep as far as battery life goes they are a pos. Took my first one back thinking it was faulty got a neew replacement quick smart, can't fault their warrenty! had the same issue with the second ones as well though so took that back got another replacement sold it and brought the SEO5 and no issues with it just the rechareable model.
