How long do the batteries last?

This never worked properly, so I can't answer about the battery life.It was purchased to replace a similar one from DIG irrigation that we'd had for ages. We were very pleased to find that old one when the Orbit failed, and the DIG worked like a charm all summer. This is a blessing in drought-ridden New Mexico.

I'd say they last a good 18 months or so. Recommend this product, but cover or remove in winter; it will crack with repeated hard freezes.

I have had it for a few months. Use it a few hours a week. Haven't had to replace the batteries yet.

Greetings. Theoretically speaking, the batteries can last 100-120 hours. But it will also be affected by the battery type and usage. Thanks for your question.

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.

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.

We usually don't use ours for more than 90 minutes of continuous use. They could probably hit 2 1/2 hours with a decent battery, but it might be a stretch. I don't know if you need them to run continuously for the whole time, but we try to conserve power by turning them off when not actively in use. We're running them on Energizer rechargables.

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.

it depends on how long you play it, but most of the time the batteries last for about 2 to 3 weeks. It also depends on the type of batteries you buy.

I have had mine for 10 months now and my husband tested the batteries a couple of weeks ago. They still tested pretty strong so my guess would be something in excess of 18 months.

Depends on use. We used ours for 2 nights(all night long) before we replaced batteries. We used cheap batteries

It lasts quite a while. I don't use mine much but I have only put one set of batteries in.

They come with batteries. Not sure how many because I've never had to replace them yet.

On the higher setting, they probably lasted around 18-24 hours. On the lower setting, you could probably expect 24-36. We used them in Haiti and were pretty pleased with their performance. Ended up using half of the batteries that I expected to.

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 put new batteries in last year after I first installed the lights. I am still using the same batteries. Usually I leave mine on for about 2 hours at a time. I've probably used mine 6-7 times so far with the same batteries.

Pretty long. Months I would say. We got ours about 10 months ago and I think I have only replaced the batteries 2 or 3 times. Pretty good considering it is used almost every night.

They last very long, I bought this in July 2013, and I just recharged the D batteries at the beginning of December 2013. The batteries weren't even drained, I just wanted to make sure it wouldn't die before I went on vacation.
