Or the LED doesn't have its normal function anymore. Anyway, the battery life remark is somewhat misleading, since there are different types of batteries, rechargeable and non-rechargeable ones, with different capacities and therefore also different lifetimes in that apparatus. With what type of batteries did you determine that life span? Maybe you should try to determine how much current it draws (you do have a multimeter laying around on one of those pictures, don't you?). From that we could try to calculate battery life for different types of rechargeable and one-way batteries.
