how long do batteries last

Not long at all..these are very cheap, cheap candles. We threw ours out after 3 weeks :(

WE light our candles early each morning for at least an hour, for our morning prayers. The batteries last a good 6 weeks. We've been very pleased.

We have had six of these units in our home for over a year. We replaced all batteries after approximately one year. One unit is outside in the cold and heat and it's batteries lasted a year. The unit will give a little chime note every three or four minutes when the batteries need to be replaced.

Typically, battery can last up to 3 years, if kept on regular charge cycles. We recommend changing battery every two years.

A very long time. I would say somewhere around 30 hours. The battery lasts forever though.

It' hard to say but I have had them last 24 hours on standby. With use and time as with all batteries it seems they develop memory and lose their capability to maintain a charge over a long period of time. I carry two batteries with me and switch them. From the beginning of my day until about 4 o'clock I usually have to change batteries or put it on charge.

I am getting about 10-12 minutes per battery, but I charge them and then they sit for a week. You may get more time if you charge the batteries 12-24 hours before using them. Also keep them in the house if you live in a hot climate. Storage temperature may affect battery life. B&D; also claims the batteries reach full potential after 5-6 charges, but there is no empirical evidence of that.

The rechargeable batteries in mine last about 8 hours on a full charge with the radio playing. When I use alkaline batteries I get about 20 hours of play time.

It depends on your settings. If you have motion activated and long record times it will be shorter. I get 12-18 months on a set. Also I buy the batteries in bulk and they are surprisingly cheap. Never buy them retail. They have very long storage life.

I just change the batteries and don't bother with the other stuff. batteries last anywhere from 2 weeks to 3+ weeks depending on how much I use it.

I haven't timed them. I use it for about 10 or 15 minutes per day, and I have to change the batteries on average once a month.

Part of this answer is going to depend on the quality of battery you buy. here is my experience. I used Energizer batterys for the week of my vacation. The radio was on for about three to five hours for five days (20 hours or so) When I got home I took the batterys out and went back to using the cord because the radio stays in the house. i tested the batteries and they still showed an almost full charge so I put them with my spare flashlights. I would guess that the batterys would have lasted better than twice the time I used them for.

Tough to answer. Length of time in use and volume will impact batteries. I often use it 4 hours a day and they last about two weeks.

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.

Greetings. Theoretically speaking, the batteries can last 100-120 hours. But it will also be affected by the battery type and usage. Thanks for your question.

Can't just answer that without a few considerations. Our experience was easily a couple hours, depends on how fast you run it and how it's used. As the batteries get older, that time will shrink a bit, as all batteries do normally. We were thinking and I think it would go longer for sure. Hope that helped.

depends on the batteries you use... I guess. but mine last for about half a year

Generally lasts about 20-30 minutes of continuous use with fresh alkaline batteries. If you switch it off when not in use, you can get as much as 40 minutes out of it total.
