I had the same problem with my M6TTL - I went through 3 batteries in less
than 2 months! A quick search of the LUG archives threw up a possible
solution. There are two test contacts in the bottom of the battery
compartment, under the main battery contact - I cut a small piece of black
tape and placed it over these contacts. So far, it seems to have done the
trick!
