There's really no reason for it to fail. The battery is not proprietary. Someone said you can buy them at dealextreme for a few bucks. About the only thing that could go wrong is someone screwed up the usb plug or damaged the button.

I have had 2 of them. first one lasted 3 days. The second one lasted a month. both had button failures. So I modded them

Puresmoker's PT will last indefinitely, 5v too.

Why does a passthrough need a battery?

I though the whole idea of a passthrough was to avoid batteries.

I mean it's like buying a mains shaver and then seeing mains shaver batteries for sale?

Totally confusing.
