If I want to leave them on all the time, does that mean I have to change the battery every 2 days?

No, actually I leave it on for several day's, maybe by the 5th day they go dim a little...but really looks nice still and give the sitting room a romantic look.! :) Enjoy!

You could leave it on all day, but I never did. When my baby had a good routine of waking up in the morning for only an hour or two and then napping again, I would just leave it on her until she woke up from that nap. For night time, I put it on right before her last feeding so I don't risk waking her putting it on after the fact. Just as info, the original battery lasted me about 2 months when I was leaving it on her more frequently. I bought cheaper replacements that were off-brand and that one has already lasted 2 months and still going, but I do use it a little less frequently.

I was wondering the same thing. It would be great to not have to keep changing the batteries.

I would not go beyond 2 hours. We typically change batteries every 2 hours because we have gotten burned beyond this.

No problem to leave on charge a day or so, but overnight is MORE than sufficient. I would not purposely leave on charge for more than 8 hours, but doing so every once in awhile is fine. I purchased additional batteries, BUT I bought those with even more power for better life.

Yes and no. There is a switch to turn them on, but they won't come on in the day time, only at night. But you can turn them off so they don't come on at night.

They have a switch on the bottom that you can set to on, off, or auto. Set it to auto and it will stay on for 5 hours. I have some that I turned on at 5pm so they stay on till 10, some that I turned on at 6 that stay on till 11pm. Easy! We've had them since xmas and still LOVE them! :)

Typically overnight is adequate. I think leaving on charge for more that 2-3 days shortens battery-use life over time.

I believe you're right. I connected them to battery with a seperate switch so that I can turn it on/off whenever I want. Otherwise, it's controlled by the headlight.

Correct. They come on automatically at dark. You can shut them off with a switch on the back and keep the battery charged.

i have used mine for about two and a half days before I had to charge them. but it really depends on how much you use them in one sitting

It has been over a month that I have had them on and have not needed battery change. I have them on the auto timer setting. Ian impressed already. I would have been bummed out if I had to change batteries often but they are great!

No they do not, but the batteries will last for several months. I access them several times a day checking on my property and they last around 5 months without any problem. If you leave them on all the time the batteries won't last near as long.

I haven't timed them. I use it for about 10 or 15 minutes per day, and I have to change the batteries on average once a month.

It will depend on what MAh batteriess you use and how discharged they are. I normally just put mine in at night, and take them off in the morning.

I leave mine on 24/7 and it's done no harm whatsoever. I believe it's meant to be an "always on" kind of device.
