what is the receiver battery life?

I think it depends how often you use it (beep, vibrate, and shock). I've had mine go for several days but I don't send a shock very often.

1-2 depending on use. Over time the battery life gets shorter. After one year of use we were having to charge it every other day, and we only used it for the sound, no shocking. Shortly after that it wouldn't hold any charge at all.

About 2 hours with activity, stand by is several hours. But after a few weeks of use, battery life goes under 1 hour. I plugged it in for 3 hours, and only 1/3 of it was charged. Really awful battery life.

I have mine set about 40 and 50 ft from receiver, both of which are transmitting through one exterior wall and 1 or 2 interior framed walls, with the receiver near mid point, and no problems after a couple of months. As others stated, the update is not immediate, so give it a while for the initial reading. Also, if you move the sensors, I found it helpful to take the batteries out of everything and start again - only takes a couple of minutes and gives some peace of mind. I think without heavily insulated walls, the range is probably more but have no proof.

Everyone Answered the question same way i would have. Fresh new batteries that came with the set at time of purchase and sometimes i even forget to turn off the receivers and they're going on 2 months +

The "receiver" uses a CR 2032 lithium cell, 3 volts, sometimes called a button battery, since they look like a button. The "transmitter" uses a style 27A, 12 volts, alkaline battery. Both of these are found at Amazon and most retail stores. Note that if the mounting tape is used, the screw holding the cap on the "receiver" becomes covered; most of these tapes are not reusable once removed -- something to keep in mind.

I hate to say anything negative but the receiver never Did work , the battery time was adequate. Around 7 minutes, still a good deal I would again

Reception is excellent in my area (I live in the city with tons of interference). The battery lasts around 5-6 hours on mp4 playback. Never had it solely on radio

I keep it plugged in, so not sure about the battery life. The speaker phone sound is NOT GOOD, but I don't use it for that. Just for streaming music to powered speakers (which it works GREAT for). You could probably read the product details for the warranty info (if any).

Fully charged for me I used it at work about 3/4 volume on the Bluetooth receiver and all the way up in my phone, it lasted about 5-6 hours

I'm not sure. I keep it plugged in. Sorry I can't be much help regarding the battery life.

In my experience, a fully charged battery lasts 7 to 8 hours, depending on how loud you have it and how far from the base station it is.

More or less. I have it plugged in behind my entertainment center and it works as long as my phone is within about 10 feet of the unit. Go behind a wall and forget it. I bet if I had the receiver out in the open instead of behind the entertainment center it would have better range, but I am happy with the range it has now. This device is pretty sweet!

Battery life is solid if you're not running too many applications. Working static without background apps like streaming music, I'm regularly getting 5-7 hours but layering in music streaming its closer to 3.5/4 hours. Hope this helps.

The receiver takes 4 "C" batteries and the push button takes a flat battery, CR2032. (It is like a large watch battery, about inch across.)

The receiver is not waterproof. It technically can be used outdoors, in the same way you can go outside with a cordless telephone, but it is not designed for any type of permanent outdoor installation.

Both infared receiver and transmitter take a CR 2032 watch style battery. Just be careful when taking the battery cover off. The little screws do not stay with the battery cover and will fall and be lost forever!!
