Default Zoom Q2HD Battery Life

I just got a Zoom Q2HD. On video recording I get 45 minutes out of brand new Duracell Alkaline batteries, with the power save options on, and the display at 1/2 brightness. Sometimes it shuts down in mid recording with 2 bars left on the battery indicator. This does not sound right to me. Does any one use a Q2HD, and what kind of battery life are you getting?

I have a Q2HD but use a USB cable for power. When I was doing some research before I bought it a lot of people were saying the battery life was short.

Zoom is telling me I should be getting 2 hours out of a set of batteries. I am getting 45 minutes, so they agree the unit is defective. They are sending me an RA to get a replacement.

Update. I got the Zoom back last week. They replaced it with a new one and the battery life is now 2 hours like it should be. Good enough for me, I'm a happy camper. I am continuing to be impressed by the sound and video quality of this little camcorder.
