How long does the battery usually last before a change is necessary? When you answer, if you could include how often you use it? Thanks!

Hi! It's a good question! I had problems with it... Battery lasts less than a month! I don't lmow if my lock has a problem or all the locks are like that. Since I'm in Brazil, I couldn't ask for manufecturer help...

I have installed it in my house front door. We are a four member family, all use it. The Duracell battery lasted about 3 months. We are in India with not very cold winters. You come to know when you have to change the battery, when you use it. I will recommend it.

Around 1 month, and I use it daily. Howere, sometimes, the led light in front keep flashing, then the battery will last for a couple of days only.

So... I bought it last summer and I still didn't change the battery... I turn on the hammer for my son to fall asleep at night and when I go to bed, I turn it off... After all those months, the light is weaker but we forgot to turn off the light several times... So I would say, it lasts a long time... ;)

I bought it a while ago, batteries haven't needed to be replaced yet. Depends on the quality of the battery considering that you don't really use this very long. It will turn itself off after a few minutes of no use.

Warranty, I think is 5 year. Important, when you change battery, should have a 5 year expiration.Mel

Yes, I've changed the battery some times - actually it doesn't last much.The battery remains somewhat pressed by a spring, try to pull it with a metal wire around it. It shoudn't be hard to pull it off.

I don't think there's any easy way to get into this thing to change the battery, but you won't need to think about replacing the battery for a LONG time. Battery life is VERY good on a single charge (about 25 hours), and if you really need to run it longer than that between charges, you can plug it into a car charger or AC with an appropriate "power only" adapter.

I just change the batteries and don't bother with the other stuff. batteries last anywhere from 2 weeks to 3+ weeks depending on how much I use it.

Battery life has varied, usually it needs to be changed every few months or so. One time the battery only lasted for 10 days

Battery life is excellent. I've been using at least a year, maybe 1.5 yrs non-stop and have never had to replace batteries. It takes D batteries -- 2-3 from what I remember.

I change mine about every 6 months, but I only use it at work. It doesn't get everyday or all day use.

I do not recall the last time I changed batteries since purchase, consequently the battery life appears to be a good and a non issue. Obviously battery life is directly proportional to devise use time.

comes with battery, I know you can change them, but it's not easy or meant to be changed. I've not changed mine yet. Do not leave it plugged in all the time, charge it, then use it and when it starts to slow down a lot, charge it back up for 6 hours. I use mine all the time, and travel with it, so I put some painter's tape over the on/off switch so it doesn't run itself out, I put it in a ziplock back wrapped in a paper towel and I take it with me. Well worth the money, I hope you like it too.

I live on mine, so I end up having to change batteries about every 6-9mo. I have 3 of these, each on a different machine.

1. Do you use the on/off switch when you will not be using the mouse for a longer period of time (i.e.: overnight, weekend or when travelling?) 2. Insure that you use an alkaline battery such as Duracell which have longer life. I have used my Bluetooth mouse for approximately 6 months before it started showing any need to be replaced following the procedures above.

I have not had to change the battery yet. If you have a Batteries Plus in your area, I would suggest you take it there just to get their advice. That is what I will do.

I've been using mine off and on for a couple of months now, daily as it is. And I haven't replaced the batteries yet, I think it takes triple a though! Just use it and see for yourself. I wouldn't use it for hours at a time, my main usage of it is minutes here and there!! Hope this helps ya!!!

From previous experience I had to change mine every 12 months. The nice feature about these units is that you can change the batterywithout taking the unit down from the ceiling. The little pop open door on the face makes changing batteries a snap !
