[comp.sys.handhelds] Casio BOSS problem?

I have a Casio BOSS SF-8000 which is about one year old.  In the last
three months I have a replaced all the batteries at least twice due to
the battery
low message.  A week or two after the change I get the battery low
message again
when the BOSS has been on for a few minutes.

Has anyone else seen this happen to them?

The only thing that I have done is load the BOSS with about 35k more data right
before I started having this problem.

I have a Casio B.O.S.S.-7500.  I get about 18 months out of a set of batteries.
I use mine every day, run searches, add and delete data, and have it sound the
alarm before meetings every day.  My memory (64K) is about 53% full and has
been that way for months.
