How long are batteries supposed to last in the Tracker 2? I put in fresh alkaline batteries and they BARELY last a day. Seems like it should be longer?

They're supposed to last for about 250 hours on transmit and 50 hours on search or for a 1 hour search after 200 hours on transmit. I suggest either exchanging it or calling BCA for replacement.
