I would expect better battery life than that, JMT. I have an AD8620-based META42 here drawing about 12 mA. For a single 9V alkaline battery drawn down to 6V, you would expect 30-40 hours. This is without current sources, high-efficiency LED, single EL2001s on the outputs and vgnd.
Obviously I haven't tried to 'marathon' an AD8620 1x9V META42 yet, so I may be full of crap.
