I have the older version of this and while the battery is not meant to be user serviceable, replacing it yourself is both easy and cheap. A new battery is about $15 on Amazon and replacing it just involves using a shim to pop the case open. ifixit.com has a guide.
Your advice is still good advice. I'm just saying it's not the end of the world if you do have to replace the battery.
This same unit was on SD a couple weeks ago for $108 shipped direct from FLIR. Received mine before Christmas, works great btw.

Well that's pretty freaking awesome for Californians. Even lower end models usually rent out for $50+ per day. Wish you had been more clear that it's just a local thing. Really got my hopes up that this was some awesome nationwide service I'd never heard of! I should have known better.
I feel like this is one of those things you buy and use once or twice in your life and then never again like the boroscope/inspection camera I bought years ago. LOL
Also fish tape, torque wrench, etc etc.
Only the angry demonic kind. The dreamy Patrick Swayze ghosts don't have a temperature, but if you put out a potter's wheel and play some Unchained Melody, you can be sure they will be there.
I'm having trouble finding any tangible difference between the Pro LT and the standard Gen 3, which as you said they do absolutely nothing to highlight.
I bet if you are to do it again in a day of greater in/out door temperature differential, you will be able to see the stud. This device is IR detector. The thermo conduction of wall material should be very different from that of a stud.

I bought the "pro" model not the cheaper pro "LT" model on fleabay for 250 (IOS version for iphone).. It had a flaw and was not connecting.. I then bought another one and I was hoping to see where the studs were behind the sheet rock / wall.. I was unable to do that.. I thought the device was pretty darn neat but being that it could not see the studs behind the wall (was advertised that it could) in combination with the snafu of the first one I bought.. . I went ahead and returned it... did not quite meet expectations..

I've hunger for your touch"

It is "oh," not "woah." Why would it be "woah"?
Use your imagination. I can think of a scenario where it could be "woah."
Maybe a scorned and betrayed lover has caught her partner cheating and therefore brandished a gun.
So the cheater, staring down the end of the barrel, is trying to calm her down and sweet talk his way out of the situation.
Sort of pleading like "Woah, take it easy there, my darling. It's your touch that I hunger for, not the woman you caught me cheating with." LOL.

Don't sweat, this Californian right here as disappointed as you.

That's what I'm looking for - I have one that's like 6+ years old - wondering if new ones are higher res

Stupid question. Ghosts aren't real. It can, however, detect demons.

My wife uses this as a stud finder and she finds me every time!

It can also be used to find termites within structures as well if you know what to look for.
