   It's bad design if it requires 1.33V; either bypass the battery terminals with   
   a capacitor   
   (that'll lower the impedance, if it's a logic-glitch that makes it   
   malfunction) or consider   
   using three cells in series (if it works on 3V, it should be OK for 4.5...   
   maybe).   A   
   redesign of the circuit might be in order, except it's a consumer-grade   
   package with   
   cryptic labels and 'instructions'.   
      
   Gluing it into a bigger waterproof box isn't too hard.
