I had read in the company specifications that the battery life was about one year. The reviews from many users complain of the short battery life.

I have had mine for a few months with no problems so far. At this rate, I'm pleased with the product.

My experience is that they do not last "a year", but it's only 4 AAs. My rechargeable ones don't seem to last as long. If battery life is a concern, why not just plug it in?

ours was about 6 months - I think it truly depends on how much you are in and out of the garage - my sister in laws lasted well over a year but she isn't in and out every day - we are in and out sometimes more than a couple times a day -

We have only had the Park Zone a couple of months so the original batteries are still good. However, we love the Park Zone so much knowing exactly when to stop, we would have no problem replacing the battery. In other words, it would be worth any additional cost for batteries.

I am not sure what to write here, but I have had my parking Device for over 12 years or maybe more, I have no problem with batteries I have been using Duracell Batteries I replace them in the Fall so I know I have new batteries to last me through the cold Winter. But have the same batteries all through the Summer. Not sure what else to tell you. It works great

We have an older model, and have a recycle bin on the floor under the sensor. I have found if my wife puts something in the bin that blocks the sensor (a few inches away), then the batteries go dead in a few days. Otherwise, it usually more than a year between battery changes.

I like to use the brightness at full and with the Wi-Fi on, if I browse, email, etc, I think it lasts me around 3-4 hours. The battery life isn't too impressive on this laptop..

Yes, the battery life is one of the thing i dislike about this product. There are better batteries that can be purchased though

I think you get one year. I really like the battery because lasts a long time especially if you're going on a long trip by airplane.

I think it lasts a good long time. And I use it quite a bit with the WiFi function. And recently started using it remotely controlled with my phone. I went on an 8 day vacation to Turkey and Greece, and I don't think I had to recharge it at all. So, at least the battery life is good enough that it doesn't stand out in my memory as being a hassle.

I'm guessing battery life would be dependent on adverse weather it's subjected to. If using within a garage where cold temperatures could creep in, I'd guess much lower than 3 years, maybe less than a year. But who knows. I'd imagine, though, that it shouldn't be so short that it's a hindrance.

I just but it and don't know about battery life yet.The Manufacturer id stating that it is about 2-3 years. It is possible, especially because the mouse has on/off switch.

I brought this back in Aug, not 1 year yet. However, I am using the tactic used for prolonging laptop battery i.e. use the device until power exhaustion, before recharge it full again. I guess I will find out more in another 9 months.

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.

I use it on the bus to work, my commute is short about 45 min.; the battery last for about 4 days. After using the on, off, volume up/down etc. for a period of time, the printed data dissolve.

Quite a while. I have owned this for well over a year now, and I have only replaced the batteries once.

Mine lasts about 7~8 hours for regular use when I use the Quite Office Setting.I know it's still better than any other laptops as to battery life.

The battery lasted about as long as most. I bought a back up, so I never worried.

Mine is near 3 years old. Battery life is certainly shortened now (probably 10-12 minutes run time) but zero complaints about its performance. Gets used a few minutes every few days. I have been guilty of leaving it on charge a few days over the years. Certainly been a good value so far. Will likely built my own battery for it when the run time is unusable.

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

My advice is not to buy it at all. Several people (including me), are having battery problems after a month or two. After a month and a half, my battery lasts about 8 hours. I also have other issues.This product could not be the final release, it should be a beta.

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.
