I totally disagree.
From my experience, one or two months battery life should be very far from such visible discharge. During my test on H2O the discharge rate was close to 1%/hour and the total reading time exceed the double of the theoretical 30 hours (2 months × 30 minutes).

The 15 hours is totally misleading and should only occur when reading 30 minutes per day — with battery drain caused by ~4 weeks of standby.
