I have the GLR825 and I go through 3 AAA batteries every three weeks. I was wondering what the battery life was on this and how many measurements one can get out of it? And how long it will possibly last in the filed before needing a recharge?
Good question. I believe that is an older model but one of the top ones that measure far. I don’t know the total measurements per battery life. I would imagine it would be much less than the ones nowadays that are more efficient. I would image it’s hard to tell since one person might only use it for 10 measurements per day but leave it on for a total of 30 minutes, while another person might make 40 measurements but turn it off after each use and only have it on for 10 minutes. Wish I had a better answer but I checked their site and couldn’t find anything.
Your review was great but your model is glm400c not glm400cl
The model designated cl comes with rechargeable battery and cost around $290-$300 i was kinda bummed to find out your link is for the cheaper one
That model that we did review is the Glm400CL. This is the rechargeable model. Sorry about the link. We went through the HD website and don’t see the CL model listed. We had the C model in case someone wanted the unit and didn’t care about the rechargeable feature. Sorry to have the wrong link and bum you out. If I can find the correct link, I will send it your way. Thanks for the feedback.
I’d rather have the 400c because I can carry spare batteries, rechargeable or single use . With 400cl I have to get to a charging station because the built in battery is not swappable for a fresh one.
Therefore the 400cl should be the cheaper.
