I don't think so. I've only drained the 2 batteries that came with it so far and I used it a lot that week... then I bought 8 (alkaline) batteries for $2.50 in Virginia, and that should last quite some time. Its not like the batteries last 5 hours! And I don't use the wormlight much... no more than I did with the GBC, which means basically just in dark rooms or cars at night or things like that. And I don't think it hurts the battery life that much...
