I had the same issue with a fox eos draining batteries when switched off..simple solution take the batteries out when you pack up . Might seem like an inconvenience but better than worrying if the batteries you've left in are going to last the night

Try swapping the battery from a flashing alarm to a non flashing alarm.

I have found the alarms don't kill the batteries 🤞🏻 but odd "new" batteries are semi dud.

Another thing, I dont have the led on full, medium is enough, and also dont have volume up much.

Yep I'd noticed it on one of my Fox Mini Micron Xs. Two of the others are OK but this one lasts a couple of trips before it begins to flash.

I think they’re plastic welded shut. Not sure if they can be taken apart without damaging?

My alarms have started draining batteries, a set is lasting a couple of trips only. Alarms are Fox Mini Micron X, anyone else had this with these alarms or others?

Assume water ingress somehow creating a short circuit. Not sure if any value in trying to open them and dry out?

A month past the 2 year warranty but I will contact Fox anyway.
