Tried to use six whatnot-brand AA 1,2 V NiMh 2200 mAh (fully charged) but meter turns off after less than 1 hour. It does work fine with 1,5 V AA batteries.
Mayhaps i'll buy some 1,5 v li-ion AA batteries to have it running.

I might suggest you check each cell at full charge and when the meter says the battery is too low to operate. Maybe you have a bad cell. I have had issues in the past with the plating on the negative end of the cell. I check with both leads on the negative end plate and check that it is very low resistance. If the plating is going obviously the resistance will be higher and in my experience can be fixed with some sandpaper.
