Anyone know how long the battery will last on this, I don't want to spend a fortune on D batteries

My beagle gets all her food training with the TnT. Duracell copper tops last us 3 weeks (42 feedings, 3/4 cup each). Energizer NiMH rechargeable last a day and a half (3 feedings).

It lasts a while. Didn't notice having to change and we used it quite a bit.

My batteries tend to die from sitting in between uses more than while using. I buy mine. From the dollar store to save money.

We love the Treat and Train and are using it a lot with our rescued dog. However, we've had to change batteries every 2 weeks on both the unit and the remote control.

Don't know for sure, but I've been using mine for 2 years and no battery change.

Correct. There is a battery compartment that takes D batteries. I use rechargeables. They don't last a really long time, so I plug it in whenever that's easy to do, and use the batteries the other times.

I've had them HOLD there charge for 4 months of non use! up to 2 months of off and on use and for at the irish fest shooting and video taping 2 - 4 hours depending on how hard I'm going They do hold up well I cannot complain! Those batteries that only cost a few dollares and ya I've tried them! NO.....don't hold the charge for long and don't last that long either. I've had the cheapies go in 2 - 3 years you know freshly charged and Dead in 30 min.

Same here. Interestingly, when I've seen spare batteries listed they are going for $150 (!). If that's the case, you might as well buy another unit from HD and use its battery as a spare.

It uses 3 D-cell batteries. I have mine in a very low-traffic area (under a porch, aimed at a door), so it doesn't come on too often. It looks like I'll be changing the batteries about once a year. My second light sees a bit more on/off activity and battery life is about 6-months.

I ran mine for 2.5 hrs on the brightest mode, just to see what it can do. Didn't see any drop in intensity and still had battery left. How much don't know. My other lights are over $200.00 each so was real impressed with how long it lasted so far.

Have not had a reason to open it up yet. Seems to hold its charge for some time, even after sitting in my hot truck for a week or more. Most important battery tip, no matter the type, run it stone dead before it's first charge. If possible for the second as well. 6 month or more and working ok. Have u opened it? I'd guess a 3032 or similar

Brand new with average use it will last more than 20 hours. Do not make the mistake of overcharging the battery. Disconnect right after it is fully charged. The battery will start dying faster which happened to me.

D batteries. They seem to last a long time. Also when electric is available you can plug it in. Hope that helps. :)

Height 10.5 " Base Width 5.25" Do yourself a favor by the rechargeable battery burns12 to 18 hours. D batteries will last up to 120 hours, not very bright the last 24 hours but enough to make your way around in the dark.

Aloha...I have contacted the mfr. and they told me this light has a 'special' battery pack. Apparently, the light is advertised for length of use as 2 years and that the battery 'never needs replacement.' That is true, basically it will last about 2 years, then you need to purchase another d.light. In that sense, you do not have to replace the battery. A lesson learned! Aloha, Keoni

If you do not purchase the electrical cord for it then you will need 4 size D batteries that don't last very long. I recommend purchasing the cord.

Using "D" batteries was a strong two hours, we used it alot. Have not purchased the rechargeable battery yet.

I have a Duracell ultra CR2 battery. As far as how long it lasts, I've had mine for about a year. I don't use it as a Flashlight just test it every now and then. Holding up fine. Batteries are little expensive.

There is a metal tab on the top, it opens towards the back of on and off switch. It says the battery's will last 3 hours, with the factory batteries that were provided I'd guess half of that run time. If you get a name brand battery or rechargeable I'd guess 3 to 4 hours. Ive only had mine a few days so I haven't been able to test out the battery life as of yet. Hope this helps

I've had this for a little over two years. Battery "tests" OK, but it's hard to know how accurate that really is. In my experience all batteries test well until they suddenly stop working. I'm guessing I wouldn't get the time out of it now, that I would of gotten out of it two years ago. I will probably replace the battery in a year as preventative maintenance. I had purchased the Wayne branded battery they offer for this unit.

Well I'm sure it depends on the brand of batteries. I used off brands from Menards and as most things from Menards its low quality so i got about 3 weeks out of the gun. I am not sure how much my kid used when i wasn't around so i cant give an estimated amount of hrs it will run
