Around 6 months ago I bought a used pokewalker from a friend at a good price (since he hadn't used it since the games were new). Since it had no battery, I bought some cheap batteries Panasonic batteries for it off of amazon, but they lasted for a very short time (like 2 weeks each, even though the walker I used to have took 2 months to deplete a battery). At first I just thought my batteries were cheap, so I went to Target and got myself some Energizer batteries. Same result, except I noticed the batteries started lasting less and less, until the last one I used only lasted a few days. The problem wasn't a contact issue or anything like that either, since I tried jiggling the battery around the walker. The batteries were completely dry, and only a new battery got the walker fixed.

Does anyone know why my walker is eating up my batteries like this, and is there any way to fix it?
 
Dirt or oxidation may be partially shorting the battery, you should open it up and check...
