what is the battery life on a set of new ones installed? operation time ?

I use it frequently, have not timed battery lift, but deem it short. Perhaps 30 hours?

Highly variable. It is important to use the "lock" feature when the radio is OFF. That way the radio will not be turned on accidentally wasting the battery.

I've had mine for 3 weeks and with intermittent use at work I'm still on my first pair of batteries.

Hi Grant! I don't have quantitative data, unfortunately, and I could find no numbers on the Web. We've found the life of these batteries (between charges) to be acceptable for our uses. We're not pros, so we don't go out for extended time periods and burn the batteries all the way down. We've not been caught short or in need of a charge by these items, under our use conditions. Sorry I don't have better info; all we can say is we've used them for a short while and noticed no operational difference from OEM units in our hands.

I received these lights 3 weeks from this message and installed them on the same day. So far the batteries are going strong. So I'm not sure exactly how long the batteries will ultimately last.

The bulbs are LED's, so shouldn't require replacement. Yes, batteries are replaceable, and are standard, nickel metal hydride, AAA cells. The original batteries are 1.5v, 600, that will power the lights for 10-12 hours. After about 6 months, I started replacing the original batteries with 1000 mah cells, after some of the lights started to peter out before dawn.

I have used them for 6.5 hours so far today on one charge. The battery is still going.

I've had mine installed for just under 60 days and the battery life still boasts duration until 2020. That's with all "senses" in use. Assuming that's accurate information, that would be awesome.

I have used them about 5 hours a week and it has been 2 years and 9 months; they are still working. Just remember when installing them wear gloves.

Battery life is good. I have not done endurance testing but they seem to be fine.

The batteries are supposed to last 6-12 months. I doubt you're going to get a clearer / more certain answer, being as the product was so recently released. Good luck!! A side note - It really does only take 5-10 minutes to install!! It is extremely easy and quick!!!

I just plug the batteries in for around 8 hours and use em. It works well for me. I hope this helps. I had also purchased new batteries and I charged them overnight the first time. GOOD LUCK

I don't notice a difference as far as battery life is concerned. They work great! One thing that I did notice, the battery is hard to remove from the charging case but I have only charged the batteries a couple of times. There is a video that shows u how to remove them and l will look at that again someday.....Not a big deal.

I do not know exactly, but I am going to say at least two years. They rarely need changed. Battery life is impressive.

I'm not sure. I only installed mine a little bit ago so I can't speak to their longevity. I'd try calling their customer service department to check with them: 800-821-3944

I couldn't tell you on a bet...I will say they are working well so far. I've had them installed for about 4 months

I have about 15 in operation and they take from 1/2 to 2 seconds to come on. None are instant on.

I was actually interested in the answer to this as well. I've plugged a set into my 25,600mAh Anker power pack and they're still going strong after 36 hours with 30-40% battery left.
