That is the difference between a short test or the calling out of a 
specification by a manufacturer and  long term experience. Similar 
problems have been solved repeatedly for people on this list by 
ignoring the alkaline spec and sticking to silver batteries. The high 
current 357 silver batteries(less expensive too) are also superior to 
the SR 44 for avoiding battery related problems.
