How long will the system function with batteries?

I've used it twice for about 15-20 minutes at a time and the batteries are still working. The first time I used it, I turned it off when collecting the balls. I just let it run the whole time the 2nd time.

I honestly don't know, we got this system and didn't use it because if the wind was blowing at all the balls would go a different direction. Unless u find heavier balls it isnt worth it and there little bitty balls too

Batteries will last 20 to 40 hours depending on factors such as quality of batteries and if headphones are being used to save power.

It depends on how often you use hot water. I live alone and my batteries lasted 6 months.

If you have fresh batteries they will last from 3 to 4 days, best thing to do to conserve energy is to turn them off at night, or when you are not in need of them.

It depends on if you're using them continuously. I would say you can get about 8-10 hours (though this varies). You can extend the life by removing the batteries when you don't need to use them. You can also buy replacement batteries, but they tend to be expensive so I would recommend buying new ones.

It will run up to 30 hours on battery someone would need to read and record the readings.

Hi,Theoretically, good SLA batteries life time would be around 3-4 years, if UPS system is not frequently discharging/charging batteries. On the display you can see battery's charge level. When level is not on "max" and stays this way no matter, how long is charged - it could be good signal to replace battery. In my application I replaced battery with external block of four original batteries connected parallel because I needed more power to be delivered with long period of the time.

I think it might be longer on the mechanisms, but, maybe six months or a year on the electronics. The one I purchased for my entry door in Ixtapa, Mexico has started to give me problems already and it has only been installed for less than one year. It shows that the batteries are low, but, it turns out that the batteries are fine, and for some reason, the contact the electronics are making with the batteries is not secure. I have to play with the battery cartridge to position it just right, or it won't work. I have written an e-mail to the company and have not heard back from them for over a month now. I am beginning to question their commitment to their customer service and to maintain their reputation. If they help me with my problem, I will certainly publicize it- but, at this point, it is not looking good.

About 6 - 8 hours if you run the battery all the way down. Which I dont recommend because your batteries wont last very long.

The batteries are supposed to last 6-12 months. I doubt you're going to get a clearer / more certain answer, being as the product was so recently released. Good luck!! A side note - It really does only take 5-10 minutes to install!! It is extremely easy and quick!!!

Like most battery operated electronics it depends upon how far you drain it down, but generally about an hour.

I've only had the system for a few months, so can't speak for long-term use. The instrument array has a small solar cell that charges an internal battery. The inside console uses three "C" cells or a supplied transformer. The accompanying owner's manual suggests the "C" cells will last for about a year.

I have never left it on for that long. I would imagine it would still respond after being left on for 10-20 minutes. As long as you have enough power in your batteries.

I can't say for sure but I use it here and there and I haven't had to put batteries since I bought it almost 4 months ago.

i'm thinking at least 5 years. my original unit was the "A" version and it went bad before the battery did. I had the original unit and battery 5 years.Didn't have to use it in back up mode to much.

With my experience with these batteries, it normally takes around 5 hours, if memory serves me correctly

I've had mine installed for just under 60 days and the battery life still boasts duration until 2020. That's with all "senses" in use. Assuming that's accurate information, that would be awesome.
