Not an ideal solution since the 50g also expects a pretty high voltage. I drained batteries in 3 weeks after acquisition. 1 week is really short time unless you used it intensively.

I used it a lot but it was on USB power most of the time. I was aware of big power consumption on 50G but 1 week is too fast drainage ...
