Does anyone know how long the batteries last?

The batteries can last for several hours of repeated use but you need to make sure to power both the transmitter and receiver off when you are done. They do not automatically turn off and you will drain the batteries all the way down.

I am not sure how long the batteries last; however, I disconnected the light for two reasons, 1) the light is brighter than real cameras and 2) mounting and replacing the batteries would be a hassle on trying not to break the wires. Now with that said, after you install the dummy camera you can not tell if it is real or not!

I had read somewhere online that people had the batteries last 30days. I found that after 48hrs the motion detection started to be significantly less sensitive until I put fresh ones in again.

I put new batteries in last year after I first installed the lights. I am still using the same batteries. Usually I leave mine on for about 2 hours at a time. I've probably used mine 6-7 times so far with the same batteries.

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.

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.

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.

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 have had mine for about a month. I always forget to turn it off so I cannot tell you how long the battery lasts because I have not needed to recharge yet.

I can't remember how the batteries are that came with them. I have some of these that are almost three years old and I don't think I've changed them more than twice. I have a few that are almost two years old now and one of them just barely started cherping a month ago. I'd say the battery lasts over a year at least. They last long enough that I haven't given it much thought.

I don't recall seeing instructions on how long, but i left it charging about 3 hours. Both batteries are working fine!

I honestly can't tell you at this moment, but I can find out for you in the next day or so. I gave it to my granddaughters and I will be seeing them tomorrow. The player is still going and I do think they were "C" batteries, but will confirm. I will be back with you shortly.

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.

Pretty long. Months I would say. We got ours about 10 months ago and I think I have only replaced the batteries 2 or 3 times. Pretty good considering it is used almost every night.

Wel we don't run the lights all the time so I only know that I have only changed the batteries once so far. We run them when we have guests over. It appears that they last pretty long though.

Mine are still on the original batteries and I've used them through 3 dinner parties. They have run approximately 12 hours for me and there is still light. They are led lights so they pull very little off the batteries.

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