What is the average life of the batteries?

The ones that come with the alarm only last 3 month , I install lithium ones about eight month ago and everything is ok, they claim they will last about 18 month.

Almost 6 mths to the day - the little red light will steadily glow when the batteries start to wear down. We installed all of the window and door sensors that came with our package on the same day. All, without exception, died within 3 days of one another.

Depends on the brand of batteries but I was energizer max and using it everyday they last a month or two

I can't say over the long-term, but I have had mine for three months, I use it everyday for hours at a time, and I have not yet had to replace the battery.

Depends on how you [ab]use them. If you often run them all the way down, and/or run them down only 1 or 2% and back up to 100%, they may last less than a year (or only take half a charge after a while). If you seldom run them below 30%, and don't recharge until they're 90% or less, they may last 5 years or more.

The first set of Duracell batteries in one light on our front porch (activated a few times a night on average) lasted for four years. I had to replace them earlier this year so i don't know how long these second set will last.

I cannot tell you exactly how long the batteries last but I do know that you can expect about one year of normal usage. The LCD screen is not color which helps with battery life. I have 3 of these remotes and have no complaints about performance or battery life.

I do not have an exact time that the batteries last. I can tell you that I've used it numerous times and haven't really had any issues with battery life.

I have had them last 5 years with just moderate use per day and up to 3 years with heavy use recharging twice daily..I also do rejuvenate them after that time to get an extra year out of them before I buy new

I can't give you a specific time these last, but I have had excellent performance out of them. I use them at night to light up my camper and I have been out as long as two weeks and they made the trip on a single set of batteries.

Thanks. How many batteries? According to your experiences, do they last for 7 months as expected?

I had fantastic luck with regular double A batteries as well. Generally, they would last for maybe about 8 hours of life, and I always got accurate battery life readouts, and was always able to replace them when they got low without any issues.

Like the others said I guess it's in the item specs. To be honest I've never had to replace them or anything. I have two of these and one has been going for a few years. Admittedly they only get used on occasion but the batteries have held up.

I have had mine on about 12 hours of use. Still have the factory batteries in it. The camera batteries going dead is the problem I run into when do time lapses.

I've had a 550 since October 2008, and I'd say on average the batteries last around 3-4 months. I suggest getting two 4-packs of Sanyo Eneloop AAA batteries and keep one set charged for quick changeovers (they hold a near full charge up to a year). Batteries lasting only 2 weeks does not seem right to me.

Average battery life of 2 weeks with standard Alkaline batteries, 2.5 weeks with Lithium batteries (based on 2-hours of average driving per day).

These batteries last about 12-14 hrs then need a recharge. Their life expectancy is approximately 9 mos give or take. Make sure your battery charger is the correct one for these types of Batteries.

It depends on your settings. If you have motion activated and long record times it will be shorter. I get 12-18 months on a set. Also I buy the batteries in bulk and they are surprisingly cheap. Never buy them retail. They have very long storage life.
