Battery life really just depends on how much you use it.You can prolong the life of your battery by not letting it sit dead for a long amount of time, and not leaving it plugged in after the battery charges to 100%I don't think the life is too shabby, but definitely not breaking any records if you are using it heavily.

yes, and the VersaPak Gold batteries (NiMH) will last longer than the Silver (NiCd). I'm not even sure if the latter are still available.

I use Sanyo rechargeable batteries that are superior to all others so last longer. Deoends on your batteries.

A prior review states ... " Unfortunately, the unit is sold with a cheap 12 Volt, 7.0 Amp-Hour internal battery that cannot hold up under the rigors and demands put on it by the general consumer. Anyway, the battery in any of these types of portable devices doesn't last forever and will eventually have to be replaced. Think of is as normal maintenance, to be done every two to five years, even with the best of batteries. But a simple change to a 12 Volt, 8.5 Amp-Hour, high-rate replacement battery will greatly enhance its performance. Without going into a stuffy brain-dump: A simple 21% increase in Amp-Hour capacity (to 8.5 Amp-Hours) will double the amount of work the fully charged battery can do, under load, such as the internal 12 Volt compressor motor. The "high-rate" designation is also a type of battery that is designed to take heavy loads without damage -or shortened battery lifespan." I have not actually replaced the battery, but it has every appearance to be replaceable

Depends on the brand of batteries but I was energizer max and using it everyday they last a month or two

Depends on the application. Any device with a motor or that provides any movement, like a miniature player/recorder/or similar, will last longer with the Energizer battery, whether a AAA or a AA. A straight resistive load, like a flashlight/or similar, are just as reliable with regular batteries. Hope this helps!

I have good luck with these batteries.They last as long as Dewalt batteries,bit the case is more fragile.

Honestly I am not sure. I did that with my first one and it lasted a little over a year. But the battery is reasonable in price so it is worth it to me. I use mine alot.

It lasts about 10%-20% longer than the OEM battery. I ended up not using it because of the extra weight and little benefit.

the battery last close to a month. depending on the frequency of usage it may last longer or lesser than that.

The Lithium-Polymer battery is more reliable and has bettter charge life. Definitely worth the extra cost.

You can use them wherever a usual battery is used, and they last longer too.

Your current usage will determine how long the battery will last.If your running it to full capacity,then it mightn't last too long.

This battery is larger due to the extra capacity. I'm sure it is a little heavier. This hasn't been an issue for me.

You can use rechargable batteries, but you get more power when you use lithium batteries.
