[QUOTE="Mike 338, post: 1565996, member: 41338"] I used mine for two seasons. First fall hunt, I used standard alkaline batteries. Big mistake. Steripen crapped right out and I had to boil water. This last season, I used lithium batteries and it worked great, or at least I didn't get sick and it appeared to function properly. Might not be a bad idea to put it in a something a little more protective. A couple times, I reached in my pack and the protective cover that goes over the glass had come off. Take a tuna can or something about that size to dip out water because I've found it very rare to actually find a place that you can dip a full quart sized container. I bought the pre-filter but have pretty much left it behind. It's bulky and clogs fast when you actually have enough debris to worry about. I just deal with the floaties. [/QUOTE]
