We usually get about 5-6 hours out of each one, and the butane bottle lasts about twice that. They really do work very well! We were skeptical about the product, but purchased and now use all the time.

The value pack consist of 4 cartridges and 12 mats. Every cartridge lasts up to 12 hours, and every mat lasts up to 4 hours. Best regards,

The mats each last about three or four hours and the cylinder about twelve as I recall. There is information from ThermaCell concerning this I believe. Of course you can turn it off when it is not needed and then restart later, so they can be made to last much longer. The mats it is recommended be placed back in their original foil wrap and that into a plastic bag if not being used for an extended period of time so that they last longer. Hope this helps.

6-8 hours! I don't use mine but about at most 2-3 hours and one has lasted me a really long time! Now the blue replacements slides seem to go faster, but this product is AWESOME...and I recommend HIGHLY! Turn on for about 10 minutes before your plan on going outside...and "poof" no bugs...bugging YOU! At least this is my opinion and it works for ME!

My Thermacell itself is still working after years of use. The mats last about four hours each and the propane lasts through a bunch of mats. Sorry to be so general, but I never really timed the usage. I DO know I wouldn't be happy around here without my thermocell. It really does keep the mosquitos at bay. Wish it worked on wasps.

the pads lasts 2-3 hours each & the butane for 3-4 pads (my best guess) Just used mine this weekend & it was VERY obvious when the pad wore out or the butane was gone as the bugs came in ....sorry I don't have a more exact answer but it was a very active camping music festival weekend and clocks were NOT allowed!

They last about 2 days for our dog. We used to get the small, but they were gone in an hour or so.

I read somewhere that these are suppose to last for up to a year. Just make sure you keep them stored somewhere cool.

most last about 10hrs...however there are some that I've bought that were still hot the next morning..(activate at 8am and still warm next day same time)I only need them to last an 8 hr shift at work...I have arthritis in my hands & wrists and these help with the pain of keying on a computer all day...I use them in fingerless "gloves" as far as shelf life I buy a large box & use them 5 days a week..so I dont keep them for months...they do not activate until opened ...

How long is a long time? I probably have a pair that I use at least 3 times a week while hopping around at the gym. They may last between 6 months to a year. But they are so inexpensive, with fantastic sound, plus the ear piece stays in my ear; totally worth it to me. Good luck!

I'm sure they would last beyond a year. I've had mine for maybe 6-8 months and some have changed shape a little, but otherwise they are all perfectly fine!

I have had mine for a while now, and they are still going strong. At least 5+ months.

they last pretty long for me. It really depends on the type of item your using these batteries for. But for me they always last at least 5 hours. Theyre pretty reliable for me. They also take like a day to fully recharge for me, i go to sleep & when i wake up their fully charged.

I have used these for about 4 years. They have been lasting close to 1.5 years. I have had no problems.

I believe they are supposed to last for one year. I have been using mine for over 6 months now and it has barely changed in size.

They last ok.. Like 4-5 hours.. I mean they were literally $1 each-) so the quality matches the price-)

They appear to last a very long time, as long as you keep them in a sealed bag. It doesn't appear to have an expiration date on them. However, I'm sure they have some sort of arbitrary date listed somewhere.

I've had mine about a year, use them every day for at least 3 or 4 hours. Still perfect.

So far they have lasted about 6 months. As to buying locally, I haven't found any store that sells them.

I believe they don't have an expiration on them. They seem to last forever.

I suppose It depends on the amount of usage. But I have had mine since November 13. Used moderately but not heavily. A couple times a week for 30 min to 1 hour each time. I like them. If I could afford the $40 a piece ones I would get those over these any day. But for the money they do what I need them to so and so far no sign of wear.

No certain amount of time. I have used these last one several months....I just use them until I think they need changing or they have started trying to come off the belt. Just a use your on judgement...
