will the timer work with low batteries

Yes, so long as the power stays on it retains its clock and timer settings.The batteries are only to preserve settings in case of a power outage.

Batteries are a back up in case your power goes out to the circuit. It keeps the time and the settings you have programmed. As long as the electric is on, the batteries do nothing. It's when the power is off to the circuit is when the batteries take over to keep your settings on the timer. However the batteries will not turn the lights on or off. It only keeps your settings when the power goes off.

Kristen, I have used these timers for years and the batteries last for months. The battery doesn't hold the valve on so length of time won't affect battery life. I believe you have a defective timer.

First let me say, I am not an electrician. However, I think I found the answer to your question on the following site. Hope this helps. By the way, the timer has worked perfectly since installation. Good luck! Go here -- http://electrical.about.com/od/electricalsupplies/qt/plasticboxes.htm

This timer is designed to work by time of day, not by a specified amount of time. You would always have to set it to go off at a certain time of day base on the current time when you started using it. It would work, but I don't think this I what you want.

Sorry i set my timer to run during the night and i have never checked to see it it is functing correctley. Instructions were shipped with the device and it was simple to set ( I think.) I will try to check it this up an comming week end. Then I will get back to you later on this site if you don't already have the solution.

Yes. When you set the timer switch duration, it will reset every time the power to the switch turns off, in anticipation of the next "on" cycle.

The timer is not powered by batteries. It's like an egg timer, just turn it to the time you want and it starts running, easy to use.

Yes. It's a reliable timer. I bought the second one after almost 2 years of using the first one.

You have to remove the batteries. Most of these timers seem to require that.

I don't see why it wouldn't work. The bulb is just a bulb. For the motion-sensing, that depends on the fixture. The fixture tells the bulb to turn off/on. So, with a timer, it would be the same. The fixture would te the bulb to turn off/on.

Yup that's what I have mine on. I bought a cheap timer (2 pack Stanley) from Amazon and it works perfectly. I use the timer function all the time and then turn timer off when I want to operate it manually

it should work? what are you using it for? outside timer or mechanical timer?

Yes. Word of warning...if the power goes out, you will need to reset the timer. Also, this product lasted about one year and died on me. Did not replace with another. Went to Lowes and bought one that is digital and has battery backup ($25) seems to work great, but time will tell

No this timer does not include a battery. It works on either a 6 volt or 12 volt external battery. And because it has no internal battery, you must reset the clock and your feeding schedule every time you change the external battery. I use lead-acid rechargeable 12 volt battery with a 12 volt motor and have to change battery every 4 to 6 months. For the money this is a very good timer.

we dont have ours on an automatic timer but it should work fine. Once you set it for the color you want, it will stay on that color if you wait at least 30 seconds after it turns off before you turn it back on. If you turn it back on in less than 30 seconds it may reset to another color but its easy to correct that if it happens. Hope that helps

Since I gave it as a gift, I had to contact another person. The timer takes one AAA battery. Have a super day!

low battery. batteries drain fast if you leave it on all night. better to use timer and it saves the batteries over time.
