How long do the batteries ACTUALLY last?

I have had the batteries last around 6 hours playing DVD'S... My friend says his lasts longer, I will not contest that. I have never tried to go beyond that time frame. Six hours on a plane is plenty of not moving around time for me... Hope this is helpful...

On average about six hours of continuous use. Bought it just for occasional use (i.e long trips). Best one I ever had.

I have used mine on several trips from Dallas to SFO which is usually 3 hours each way and still have not run the battery down. I don't have an actual number of hours except 6 hours.

I have four of these, all installed since 9/2013. One of the batteries died after about 6 months, which kinda worried me, but the other three are still on the original batteries and still sound loudly when tested. So, 6 months to at least 17 months. These are nice little units, worth a few extra bucks for the small form factor.

I've had them HOLD there charge for 4 months of non use! up to 2 months of off and on use and for at the irish fest shooting and video taping 2 - 4 hours depending on how hard I'm going They do hold up well I cannot complain! Those batteries that only cost a few dollares and ya I've tried them! NO.....don't hold the charge for long and don't last that long either. I've had the cheapies go in 2 - 3 years you know freshly charged and Dead in 30 min.

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.

Hi there....I can't say exactly how long the batteries last, but I do know that we went to Haiti and ran two of them ALL night while we slept for one week, and never changed the batteries. Hope that helps.

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.

I am going to say probably 4-5 hours on average if they get a good charge during the day. I now need to replace the battery in one of them, but I have had them for about 4 months. The others I have are still going strong.

I'm still on my first set of batteries I put in it (2 AAs) and I'm amazed they've lasted this long. I've been using it off-and-on both day and night. The other night I fell asleep with it on and expected the batteries to be dead in the morning. They're still going! I turn the radio off when commercials come on so I'm sure that helps, but still, I've been pleased with battery life for this radio.

Less than 4 hours for mine. The battery really does last a long time. I've had mine for several months and use them for up to 4 hours or more at a time, a couple of days a week. I have only had to charge them a couple of times so far. I am impressed with the battery in these.

A very long time. I would say somewhere around 30 hours. The battery lasts forever though.

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!

They have lasted for over 6 months, we do turn it off at times, like when it is real cold outside but we have not had battery issues what so ever

the battery life lasts approx 4-8 hours...sometimes longer if not used continuously.

I don't know how long the batteries are supposed to last, but this seems unusual for them to die weekly. I ran mine last year for approximately 4 hours per week and unit battery still worked this year.

The battery that came with it lasted about 7 hours. I also bought re chargeable batteries and a charger. They seem to last about 8 hours.

Can't give exact time but they last pretty good time. They use reg AAA batterys.

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
