Hello and good day. How do you change the batteries? In the real world, how long do the batteries last? Your response would be greatly appreciated.

There is a metal tab on the top, it opens towards the back of on and off switch. It says the battery's will last 3 hours, with the factory batteries that were provided I'd guess half of that run time. If you get a name brand battery or rechargeable I'd guess 3 to 4 hours. Ive only had mine a few days so I haven't been able to test out the battery life as of yet. Hope this helps

Simply flip down the rear latch, open and install batteries. We have been timing its use and so far 3hrs with no drop yet....that is light and laser together. I have energizer LiON 123 in the device.

I have never changed the batteries...It has worked well ever since we got it. That's been about 4 months now.

Mine is in use daily, with regular recharging, and the need for a battery change has yet to occur. These don't appear to have a provision for changing batteries, but if they are kept properly recharged, I doubt that even most regular users will need to change them for a long time. I've owned dozens of electric scissors over the years, some good, some terrible, and these are, by far, the best I've owned. I can't directly answer the question, but I hope this helps.

Do not leave it plugged in! I did and my battery is now dead. It turns out to be VERY expensive to change the battery b/c you must send it back to the manufacturer to do so. There are some good tips here on preserving the battery life that I really wish I had known beforehand. I'm currently trying to decide if it is worthwhile to replace the battery or not.http://1866uselady.com/show.php/en/online_store_2

I have had mine for a few weeks now and it is still going strong. I dont use it everyday. I havent checked the price of the batteries yet though.

I have the same problem as you!I've changed batteries and still behaves in the same way.I bought mine at Home Depot, but If a had read the reviews before buying I would not have acquired it

Replacement batteries do not appear to be available. You might communicate with the manufacturer directly, but since these units are quite inexpensive, you might be money ahead to just buy a new one. Sorry.

Batteries are not replaceable and, based on my experience and discussions I have read, only last about a year under even light use. They you need to recycle the mp3 player and buy another. Not worth it! Buy a player with a replaceable battery even if it is a little more!

Try new batteries. I got rid of them. Fresh Batteries don't last but about two full days.

The battery seems to last a long time .I have had mine for over two years and I may have replaced the batteries once but I am not even sure about that. Bottom line is: how long the battery lasts should not even be a consideration when deciding to buy. I love the darn thing. I just wish I could find out how to turn the alarm off.

Gee, I'm sorry to hear of your problems. Mine came "ready to go" and I've yet to need to replace the batteries. If you received the wrong batteries for the unit, I suggest you contact Amazon. They are quick to resolve any problems I have ever had. Good luck.

Mine lasted longer than that, but you can change the batteries. Carefully twist the plug where the on/off switch is. It opens, and you can access the batteries.

Honestly, mine stopped working after only a week and I haven't replace the batteries yet. I am not happy with this produce at all. It doesn't seem to work like air thought. Good Luck!

They last pretty long. Make sure you use quality batteries, like Duracell or Energizer. Don't forget to turn them off when not in use. I don't want to attempt to guesstimate how many hours, but we really don't have to change them often. If they start making funny noises, time to change batteries.

I am experiencing the same problem. I thought that the batteries died. I have not replaced them yet.

I had the same problem. New batteries did not make any difference. I sent it back to amazon and got my money back. Don't know why they keep selling these, I posted the problems I had with it months ago. I guess Amazon doesn't care. If someone sends it back they refund the money, but many don't send them back and amazon is ahead. George Jensen

I have the same problem with the batteries not lasting. I did an informal test with new alkaline batteries and after 2 hours 7 minutes of solid on it goes to the power saving setting. If you turn it off and back on it will go on high for about 1 second then goes back to the power saving mode. Not happy. This isn't what I expected from Mag-Lite and it will probably be my last.
