How long will two AA batteries last for this irrigator?

It depends on how often you use it. My husband uses it more than twice a day. He has to change the batteries twice a month. I use it twice a day so my batteries last much longer.

I've own my irrigator about 4 years and change batteries about 2 to 3 times a year.

I use the Duracell AA batteries and I believe it takes 16 total. They last quite a while depending on usage.

Uses 2 AA batteries; don't purchase if used- the one I bought skipped so much it's worthless.

It takes 2 AA batteries and I share with my husband. It takes about 6 weeks to run down -both of us cleaning twice each day! - you can tell by the noise as it gets slower. Yes rechargeable batteries are a good idea. I still like it without the bulky adaptor plugged in all the time. Ideal for travelling.

Should be about 3 yrs. Runs on 2 common AA batteries. The unit comes with 2 energizer lithium batteries.

It takes 2 AA Battiers. I just used the Orbit timer during the July 4th holiday. Was away for four days, I use it as an automatically swimming pool water filler, ran it for 30 minutes once a day. It worked perfectly.

In a three week period I've used it twice. When I move the boat I shut it off to conserve the batteries. Supposedly they can last 30 hours of total usage.

My experience is that they do not last "a year", but it's only 4 AAs. My rechargeable ones don't seem to last as long. If battery life is a concern, why not just plug it in?

I junked mine. Not reliable at all and it eats batteries. I bought the Claber unit and use that now.http://www.claberinc.com/products/irrigation.asp?sz=34&fm;=66

It really just depends on how much of a draw the bilge pump has. I ran a 2-3 amp CB radio for 4 or 5 hours, and the battery is rated for 7 amp hours, so if you draw 7 amps constant, it should last 1 hour, do the math from there. Sorry I couldn't give you a more definitive answer.

A hour or two. Very worthwhile. The price is cheap enough to have sufficient power to do the job. Don't plan on a quick recharge. Just have enough for the job. If the job is very long. You can recharge while the other batteries are working.

Only 2 double AA's, and they last about three months if you use the timer and have them on everyday (:

AA batteries. Last about a month in the kitchen due to lots of traffic and sensitive lotion sensor...but last a long time in the spare bathroom!! Excellent!

I use a single battery for this and all of my acc (fish finder, pumps, lights and such). I have no issues being out 4-6hrs at a time.

That really depends on the life of the two disc batteries. If they don't leak and you do not remove the paper separator that is included and placed between the top battery and the small coil that is connected to the bottom of the bulb, I think it would possibly operate 2 years from now. What you may want to do is contact the manufacture and find out what type of battery they use. Then, look-up what the life expectancy of the battery would be. Hope this helped.

It takes one AA battery but it usually last long, about a couple of months.

It takes 2 AA batteries. I used to buy these can openers at Big Lots but they don't carry them anymore. Found a 2 pack on Amazon at a reasonable price. However 1 did not work. The other one works just fine
