It's difficult to tell 1.5 FPS vs. 2.5 FPS. You need to be using a fast 
shutter speed with the camera set to  "MANUAL" mode. And if there's a battery 
drain 
problem, there may be other reasons why the winder seems "slow".  Those 
manufacturer claims are always under the best conditions, your mileage may 
vary. 
Also don't forget that performance is dictated by the condition of the parts 
and 
the lubricants. That winder 2 may be quite old by now. A 25 yr old car will 
not give you the performance or gas mileage that's specified in the 
manufacturer's original specifications, will it? 

And the batteries should NOT drain that fast, not even close to that time 
frame. I can't recall exactly how long my batteries last, but I've forgotten 
and 
left them in the winder for weeks from time to time, and it still works when I 
use it again.
