What kind of batteries do these use? Are the batteries expensive? How long do the batteries last?

I was using the batteries that came with the candles. I have not tried to use other brands at this point because I feel they are expensive for what they are. The batteries that came with them last a few days depending on how much you use your candles and if you actually turn them OFF instead of using the remote. The batteries only last about a week if you leave the candle turned "on" and use the remote to turn them off and on (and that's with the candle "off" for most of the time). I love the candles - but if they are in an area where you can't get to them easily (which is why I wanted the remote) they're only worth it for something special (like Christmas company and using the candles for those 2 or 3 days) I was using the batteries that came with the candles.

3V-Lithium-Button-Batteries-CR2450 -- if you shop a bit you can find them priced reasonable. We use these in our event business and I can use the candle for 3 events per battery...approx 24 - 36 continuous hrs.

Batteries are lithium cell CX 2450 3V batteries. You get some with the candles and replacements for the first time. Depends on how you do them Using the timer, They might last a week or so. Outside in the cold maybe not that long. If you turn them off with the remote rather than having them turn themselves off you may get longer. I used them for my outdoor Halloween decorating and had to replace them at least once.

They use CR2450 Lithium Batteries. It came with 5 extra batteries along with the ones already in the candles. The box says that each LED candle glows for 50,000 hours. I had only used it for about 6 hours straight with no problem (not quite the 50,000 mark). Not sure how much the batteries cost, but it looks like something you can buy at your local drug store.

they use the flat CR batteries, I believe they came with batteries and then I went online & bought extra batteries (very reasonable.) Depends on how much you use the candles on how long the batteries last.

I'm not sure as I've never installed batteries. I've read they usually last two months or so.

I bought 8 of these and no one's batteries have died after over a year. No even sure what the battery is. Definitely ask for a refund. They should last a long time.

We have never had issues with the batteries in the past and these have worked well. I can't even give a time frame on the batteries for these but if you shop on Ebay or Amazon you can usually find better prices. Sorry no battery problems so far.

It' hard to say but I have had them last 24 hours on standby. With use and time as with all batteries it seems they develop memory and lose their capability to maintain a charge over a long period of time. I carry two batteries with me and switch them. From the beginning of my day until about 4 o'clock I usually have to change batteries or put it on charge.

I didn't do any scientific measurement. My opnion is therefore subjecive. It appears that these batteries do last. This key is to get them fresh. Batteries do lose power with time if you let them sit. Some lithium button batteries that I purchased on e-bay were two years old and lasted about a week in my guitar tuner, which is way too short. I blame it on the age of the batteries. Those 9 volt lithium batteries don't seem to have this issue. We'll see in a few years.

I've tried cheap batteries and expensive batteries and there is a difference in this type of device. Niteize sells replacement batteries that seem to last about 6-8 weeks with a daily 15-30 minute walk (usage). With the cheap batteries I was experiencing two weeks and they would go dead. Bottom line, you get what you pay for. As another response stated,you simply pry the back plastic off to gain access to the batteries - each device requires two batteries.

I am not qualified to say how long the batteries will last based on your description but would assume based on my past experience that they will have a fairly long life compared to other style batteries. Unfortunately they are not rechargeable.

A long time. They are built really good. Now the problem you will have is the battery. For long storage take the battery out of the housing. Keep it Dry and you should be able to use many times. I suggest you buy some extras batteries.

They have solar batteries. I've had mine since May, and they are still burning bright. Batteries are replaceable when the time comes.

I bought expensive batteries. Plus my first set ran down really quick because I forgot to always shut off the camera and left it running. So make sure you shut the camera off after you view it it's tricky to figure out... Once I got that my batteries have lasted a while.

Batteries. They do last pretty long though, at least a few months and we use the vibration and sound daily. We've only changed batteries once and my baby is 8 months.

They take 9V batteries, in the transmitter/headsets. They don't last too long - and kids tend to forget to shut the unit off when they are done.

I just use rechargeable batteries. Can't say how long they last because I only use it on weekends for two months out of the year.

Really couldn't say - I use these infrequently. I will use them nightly for a week or two, then turn them off. Only use them on dark winter evenings. Still using the batteries from last year, therefore. So - I will hazard a guess that they last a long time, maybe several months if not used daily.

They use 12V remote batteries. I bought Camelion 5 pack. Hate running out of batteries :-)
