As of today, 8 months have gone by and the light is still strong. Placed in the garage, our cats are continually setting it off at night as they use their cat-door to enter and leave the house. highly recommend so far!

Only used them on 2 camping trips. Good light and respond well to movement. Probably been tripped 20 to 30 times so don't have a real feel for how long batteries last. I wish they had an on off switch in windy situations just flags or brush moving will set them off. I do believe there is a model that has one as well as variable timing but I all ready purchased these. The next test is how they hold up in inclement weather at our hunting camp.

I have had them for a couple of weeks and have had them up for about one week. They are only on for a short time and not on in the daylight, I am night really worried, I don't think it will be bad. I am sorry but I have not had them long enough.

We've had ours for a few months, and they're still working just fine with no signs of dimming. They don't come on at all during the daytime, and when triggered, they only come on for about 5-10 seconds. I think this helps prolong the battery life.

Mine lasted about 13 months. The light is mounted under the car port to illuminate my boat and garage area. I frequently activate the light moving around in the area or preparing the boat in the early morning for fishing. I have also dropped the light a few times from 7 feet on to pavement and it still works and did not crack. I'm ordering another one today.

I am still on the first set of batteries in each and have had them since May and June of this year. They are activated usually everyday at least once.

I believe the description says about 100 hours per battery pair... but I havent used it that long yet...

five to six hours is the best I've gotten from them. If your getting 4.5 hours of use out of them you're doing ok. I've had 2 sets and they both got about 5 to 6 hours of use before I had to plug them in. Bob

I bought my first set in early Jun 2013. Batteries are still working on all the sets that I own. I have not had to replace batteries as of yet. Maybe it's my electric personality!!

I'm still on the original set of 4 AA batteries, so I guess they last awhile. I use it for computer stuff too and I love it.

I sold this to one of the guys I work with some time ago. If I remember correctly a set of 2400mhr rechargeable batteries lasted about 8 hrs. it was about the same w/ the Harbor Freight cheapies.

I use mine every day and the original set of batteries lasted about 18-20 months.

With my experiance, it only takes about 15 to 20 minutes per pair. Sometimes one of the batteries will complete their charge sooner as indicated by the Green light associated with the corresponding battery.

HI I think it lasts about 4 - 5 hours. I have two batteries. The sound is a bit off, not as deep as I would like, but all in all, I enjoy the set very much. Feel free to ask anything. John

They last quite a while. I mainly use them for my son's wireless remote for his Xbox 360, he plays everyday, somedays he plays allday and on average we usually have to recharge them every 3-4 months. I found them to be better than an OEM battery we've had.

Well we have had them for almost 2 weeks and one has never been turned off and is still going strong. We haven't used them as much as we thought though. So even though the batteries have not died with it being on I still wouldn't be able to tell you how long they last if you're using them consistently. Overall I would say they conserve the batteries well.

Depends on how you [ab]use them. If you often run them all the way down, and/or run them down only 1 or 2% and back up to 100%, they may last less than a year (or only take half a charge after a while). If you seldom run them below 30%, and don't recharge until they're 90% or less, they may last 5 years or more.

It lasts quite a while. I don't use mine much but I have only put one set of batteries in.

i have used mine for about two and a half days before I had to charge them. but it really depends on how much you use them in one sitting

I believe the first set of batteries lasted about two years, but it also depends on usage and how many people are using it and how often.

I have this set, two chargers and 4 batteries. I can say I beat the crap out of these for the last 6 years doing home projects, subjected them to things I probably shouldn't have, and they're still going strong. "Heavy usage" is difficult to judge, but I'd say I'd could kill a battery in an hour with my heavy usage, maybe less if I really tried. I just leave a battery on the charger and swap them whenever I need to. I'll add that for my usage, battery life has never been an issue (but if I'm going up on the roof I do bring a spare battery). However, I wouldn't recommend them for a pro.

On the higher setting, they probably lasted around 18-24 hours. On the lower setting, you could probably expect 24-36. We used them in Haiti and were pretty pleased with their performance. Ended up using half of the batteries that I expected to.
