May be the wrong forum for this.
I am noticing my buffing droids (I have 2) eat batteries for breakfest. I tend to have to recharge them abotu every 10-20 min when I use them for buffing.

Anyone else having this problem???

I haven't had to recharge my droid in over a week now.


I've buffed myself and a few friends just about every day. Not sure what the total amount of time is thatI've had it called though.

as weird as it sounds, it seems to happen in stages for me. Sometimes I will go a few days where my droid is constantly chewing up batteries, but then I will go on like a 5 day stretch where I only have to change it once

I don't see mine eating batteries that fast, although they do use them up pretty quick.


I use about 1 per hour, maybea bit more. Maybe as fast as every 40mins.

I went 4 days between batteries when I first got my droid, and today (5th day)I had to use 5 batteries. **edit**?

I've noticed also that it randomly changes. I'll use one battery for days and other days I've used 1 every 15 mins. I don't know why.... I guess they figure the buffs are so random the droid may as well be also?

How do you define "buffing droids"?
