how often should batteries be replaced?

I installed mine on March 29th and they're still buzzing, so they last four months +.

Good, I assume. I have been using it 8+ hours/ day for 5 dats a week and I've had it over a month now and haven't had to replace the battery yet.

After about a year the batteries were still working fine. That said, I'm not sure how long they'll actually last because, for SAFETY SAKE, it is recommended you replace batteries ONCE A YEAR regardless if they're still working or not. I change mine every fall around Daylight Savings Time. (I keep the partially used up batteries, in a marked "Used" baggie, for toys or other odd uses; but never for smoke alarms!) Hope this helps.

I have had the system for about 5 years and haven't had the battery replaced. Usually 5-8 years depending on your particular situation.

Battery life is pretty good (I think). I don't actually keep a record of battery changes, but my impression is that I must change batteries about every 6 months. I carry an extra in my golf bag because unlike someone else said, there seems to be little warning that it is about to quit.

I live on mine, so I end up having to change batteries about every 6-9mo. I have 3 of these, each on a different machine.

Hi, If you only take a few photos at a time, you do not need to replace them until the battery not able to met your need. For example, if you like to take photos of your kids on vacation, a two week vacation, you may take over 1000 photos when the battery is new. And now if your battery only last you 300 photos and it is your only battery and no place or time to recharge. It is time to replace it.

So far, we have had to replace the batteries on our unit roughly every 3 to 4 months.

It depends on the usage. I use my when I travel, which is about a dozen times a year for about a week each time and they have lasted for years.

There is no easy access to replace the batteries. But, as with all devices and tools that use lithium-ion or lithium polymer batteries, they are fantastic for a couple a thousand cycles of charging, minimum. That would mean you can charge them three times a say for several years without a problem. I can't see anyone using them that much. I hope the information helps.

Quite a while. I have owned this for well over a year now, and I have only replaced the batteries once.

I'd guessitmate about 6 months. It's not an issue, in general, I don't feel like I am putting in a new battery often.

I have found that the more you use these batteries the better they respond, if you use them infrequently and don't charge them at least once a month they loose their ability to hold a charge in a year. However, if you use them and charge them once a month when they don't get used, then 3 to 4 years.

It varies, but usually, they tell you to replace any battery after one year or if you notice your items are not working as great - then it is time to change.

I have had mine since November 2013 and batteries just died on us. The bathroom sink is used at least 16 times daily. The faucet is located in my kids bathroom (4 kids) so its probably used much more then this especially when friends come over.

It depends upon the type of batteries you use and the number of pictures you take as well as how many times you have reviewed your pictures. I never have gone more than 6 months without replacing batteries in my SX120.

A LONG time. It was years before I had to replace mine, but I don't use it every day. Maybe a couple times a week is all.
