If your using 6v in the Chuck then it's normal to be killing attys constantly. I would not hold the button for 10 seconds though. If the atty is shorted out it could cause the batteries to get extremely hot and we know what might happen after that. I usually just put the atty near my ear and listen. If with a 1-2 second push of the button you hear absolutely nothing then it's dead and not recoverable. If there's any life at all left you should hear a slight sizzle. Get some HV attys. They last a LOT longer.
