What I'm saying is: this can only be settled in the pits.
What I'm really saying is not every battery is created equal and using your extremely small sample size as a reason to swear off anything battery powered forever is naive IMO. I don't know everything (or anything really) about the battery in the Alta but I would suggest contacting them if you were genuinely curious on the battery(ies) they use and the kind of short and long term life you should expect out of it. Maybe it's already on their website? IDK
Seems my concerns are the same as Pings.
