How long has the battery lasted you? I anticipate pretty light use, just to tame where I can't reach to pluck/shape eyebrows & nose hairs.

I am using it once every week. So far I haven't change battery yet.......it's been a year I guess....

I have changed it one with a AAA battery. It's really easy and works very well. Worth the price. I don't use it for anything but nose hairs. I hate getting old!!

Thanks for the reply. I won't worry about leaving mine plugged in when I'm out during the day. It takes very little time to charge so I've always hesitated to plug it in and then leave the house. Like you, I don't have to shave 24/7.Thanks again.

What a bummer that its a disposable. And yes that is odd! A product that takes batteries I assumed would be reusable but I wanted to know for sure. Thanks David for the reply! That's really too bad if they're discontinuing their reusable models. I will probably shell out the $40 to try it just to see if I get any results. It might be worth it if I only get a few bad blemishes when I break out. Shopoholic my be right if I can make the 80 uses last longer than other treatments. Thank you for all your help!

Daniel: No clipper is going to give you a smooth shave. It will cut the hairs down to a very short length, but for a smooth shave you'll need a razor or an electric shaver. Still, for cutting hair, trimming beards and nabbing those long hairs that grow on your neck, this clipper is one of the best I've owned. The battery life is simply amazing. I use these clippers to cut my hair once a week down to a 3mm length. Also, used to trim my full beard. After nearly six months of use, I'm just now getting ready to recharge for the second time. Unreal! My last set of clippers didn't last two cuttings and I had to recharge. If you can get past the cost, I highly recommend this product. Daniel: No clipper is going to give you a smooth shave.

William, thanks for taking the time to respond. I will also let everyone know what kind of battery life we observe. Best of luck to you.ww

I've personally had mine for a couple years now. But where I'm at with it, I can get about an hour, give or take, with heavy usage (i.e. watching HD videos online, etc.).

I have had mine close to 8-10 years, and have changed the batteries 3 times at most. I only do small areas though like the upper lip. Are you doing multiple areas at once or larger areas like your legs? I haven't had the same problem with mine. Can you exchange yours? :/

I just purchased this model, so I can't say how long the battery will last.The last Braun I purchased as a "reconditioned" razor over 10 years ago still has a strong battery. I would still use it, but the foil is worn and the coiled cord has lost it's curl.

Battery life is fine, I've only had to actually replace them one time since my purchase. Checked the mouse with new batteries to make sure the issues weren't battery related, but they persisted so I stuck the old batteries back inside every time. So one battery change after ~4.5 months of fairly heavy daily use.

I have mine for about 8 months and I never turn it off unless it goes a little querky and doesn't work right. The battery is still working fine. It goes to "sleep" when not in use so that saves the battery. But it use 2 aa batteries so they don't cost much. It is a great little mouse. I use it on my nook tablet.

If you can last as long as this battery can, you will have gotten a lot of trimming done! I have worked with it for over two and a half hours. Then I will go inside to cool off. When I rest, I plug it into the charger. It picks up a good continuing charge in an hour. I have run the battery completely, twice in the one year that I have used it. It never slowly looses power. When the battery charge is gone, the trimmer stops immediately. On some models, there is a little indicator light that will warn you when you are getting low on battery. Direct answer to recharging completely: probably overnight. Recharging to use again that same day: probably an hour.

I've had mine for a year. I have never had a shaver with this battery life. It still lasts 2-3 weeks without charging and I have a thick enough beard to get a 5 o'clock shadow. It shaves just as nice as any electric razor I've ever owned.

I don't use mine very often, I'm 5 minutes from my job & I only use it in my car while I'm traveling, so the battery seems to last fairly long. But I have accidentally left the transmitter on & it'll be dead the next time I go to use it, obviously.

I don't use mine every day, mostly for camping, or touch up after swimming, on a cruise, or to go out to dinner. I would guess, at least a month if you use it every day...so about 30 to 40 uses. So worth it when I want to doll up!

I have one of these that has been in constant use since about August 1, and as of the end of October still had about 35% life on the original batteries. This is on trail mode with about 10-15 shots per day, sometimes a lot more (windy weather- branches triggering a thousand pictures in a day, for instance). I can't compare to other models, but this is fairly decent in my opinion.

Really good. Mine last anywhere from a month to longer, and I never turn the mouse off. Just depends on how much you use it. Usually if I use it several hours every day, about a month.

I've been using it continuously for about 2-3 months, and one bottle for me has lasted a long time, I am still on my first bottle. Can't say since I haven't stopped using it since I started. But I did get my brows waxed recently and they are much Fuller and have a better shape since I used this product to grow them.
