Generally speaking, how long does the 9 volt battery last before it has to be replaced?

I've had a battery last for nearly a year, although it's not a great idea to let them go that long with a dog that tests the boundaries frequently. I try to replace the battery every 6 months.

I'd guessitmate about 6 months. It's not an issue, in general, I don't feel like I am putting in a new battery often.

Hi, I have five big dogs(four black labs, and one German Shepard)They don't test the boundaries at all, once they found the fence line they stay clear of it, so I'm getting ten months to a year on my 9 volt batteries. I hope this helps you..

Mine lasts 5-6 months, but it depends on how stubborn the dog is. Mine keeps "testing" it to see if the shock has weakened. There is a red light on the collar unit that flashes when the battery is low. I am very pleased with this product and company. I live in FL and the base unit was fried by lightening a few months ago. The company charged a nominal fee and sent me a new unit with return info for the bad unit.

I installed my unit in November 2013. My "long-life" battery started chirping October 4, 2014. That is 11 months. About the same time span that the old 9 volt batteries. Disappointing....

I have mine for over a year now, and I just have to replace batteries after awhile. The unit even has a indicator for battery replacement, so you don't need to guess. It is still working, and I've zapped a giant rat the other day. Disgusting, but glad that thing is dead.

It automatically powers off between three and five minutes when not in use. One standard 9v battery will last approx. one year.

We've had our Neato XV-21 for about 2 years and we replaced the battery about a year ago. So the answer to your question is battery should last about a year. We purchased our battery thru Amazon as it was less expensive than buying local.

Hey Mr. Robert L.,It takes a nine volt battery. Mine did not come with the battery.

I use mine almost every day, and haven't changed battery yet. Bought mine eight or nine months ago. :-)

Mine lasted 9 years then I replaced battery and it still works; hard to find correct battery. Got it finally from Interstate Batteries since it has bolt on terminals rather than a F2

We've been using our scale (probably 6 times per day) for only about a month, but there is no sign or battery wear. The battery appears to be running strong. I would imagine that it will last for quite an extended amount of time since it's using relatively low voltage for each use. We've had bathroom scales that run on 9V batteries that last a year or longer. Not comparatively the same product or frequency of use, but it still gives me an expectation that the battery in our kitchen scale should hold up well.

Yes ... but I'd use a better branded long lasting or rechargeable 9 volt battery to be on the safe side.

It's a 9-volt...which seems a bit weird, you'd think they would standardize with something like a AAA, but it seems to last quite long!

It needs an adapter only if you don't want to buy the required 9 volt battery. Personally, if you remember to turn it off after each use, the battery will last over a year. I've had mine for almost 2 years and still haven't changed the battery. (My wife will let me know the second we need one!)

It is not designed to replace the battery. It should last a few years before it dies though.

Nope and they don't last super duper long if you plan on leaving it on-so grab a few 9 volts!

the battery should last 10 years..... so no experience with the battery yet.

Usually 4-6 hours is enough, but if it is run down completely you might want to leave it on for up to 8 hours. If you have a volt meter with a 6 volt option, you can check it that way.

Adventurer, Thank you for your inquiry. Typical battery life is 1 to 2 years. For best battery performance and life, keep the battery fully charged throughout the life of the battery.
