How long do the batteries last?

I used it for a couple of hours each evening for a month and did not need to replace the batteries.

I used mine all summer and never changed batteries. But I didn't use the light option and I can't think of anything else that would have drawn on the battery. Maybe the on/off switch? Hope this helps.

The batteries just run the light which has a high and low setting so it's going to depend on your use habits. I turned the light off when the party was over. Did not seem to be a problem!

I can't give you exact hours but I can tell you that my sons use their players at campouts for many hours and I have never seen them go off. I have never used mine for an extended time on battery.

9 to 10 hours depending on setting and batteries used. I usually get at least 9 hours using rechargeable batteries.

Approximately 8 and sometimes 10 hours if I leave them on and if I buy really good batteries. They are easy to turn off and on to save battery life and easy to change the batteries

I've had mine about a month now and I've used them for at least 20-30 hours while in the backyard on battery power. The sound is good, the range I am using is about 50 feet with minimal attenuating materials between (walls, doors, etc). I'm not sure how long the batteries will last. You can probably do the calculations based on average current draw and the capacity of C sized cells.

Thanks. How many batteries? According to your experiences, do they last for 7 months as expected?

I never run my batteries completely low so I do not know what the time would be from that point. I put about 3-5 hours of listening on them and the they are fully charged in approximately two hours.

I have only had mine for a few months and never turn it off. My husband has had one for over 2 years, never turns it off, and has never needed to replace the batteries. Supposedly they have a battery life of up to 36 months. Hope this helps.

it depends on how long you play it, but most of the time the batteries last for about 2 to 3 weeks. It also depends on the type of batteries you buy.

depends on your weight. 3 or 4 hours for me when batteries were new, but unit is cheaply made and doesn't last long.

I can't tell you how many hours but I've had mine since May of last year and have only changed the batteries once. I have them on every night from about 7 to 12.

I've never replaced the batteries. We've had it at least 3 years if not longer.

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 are 'D' batteries . They last long enough. Still like radio. Its a very simple radio.

The batteries have lasted since we got them about 4-5 months ago and are still OK. We like the versatility and brightness of the lights and would buy them again. Hope this helps!

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.

Im not exactly sure but its not that long. I bought them for my kids and if i had to guess I'd say mabe 4-5 hours.
