How long do the batteries last?

It's been two months since I purchased them and I haven't replaced the batteries yet.

Mine are still on the original batteries and I've used them through 3 dinner parties. They have run approximately 12 hours for me and there is still light. They are led lights so they pull very little off the batteries.

They run on batteries. I had have them for more than 6 months and still on the original batteries

I am not sure about a whole 16 hours; I haven't tried to make them run that long. I've seen them go for as long as 8 hours and they weren't fading, we just turned them off after that. The battery doesn't look replaceable to me; it's a closed clear plastic case. The strands pull out and the plastic barrette case won't put up with a lot of abuse.

On the higher setting, they probably lasted around 18-24 hours. On the lower setting, you could probably expect 24-36. We used them in Haiti and were pretty pleased with their performance. Ended up using half of the batteries that I expected to.

Not sure. I used it for a week, a few hours almost every night. I have yet to change the batteries since I got it.

Approximately 8 and sometimes 10 hours if I leave them on and if I buy really good batteries. They are easy to turn off and on to save battery life and easy to change the batteries

I have only had mine for a few months and never turn it off. My husband has had one for over 2 years, never turns it off, and has never needed to replace the batteries. Supposedly they have a battery life of up to 36 months. Hope this helps.

it depends on how long you play it, but most of the time the batteries last for about 2 to 3 weeks. It also depends on the type of batteries you buy.

I fall asleep with them on, and the charge lasts at least eight hours with the volume on a low setting. I have never left them on longer than that, and I recharge them each morning.

The batteries have lasted since we got them about 4-5 months ago and are still OK. We like the versatility and brightness of the lights and would buy them again. Hope this helps!

I can't give you exact hours but I can tell you that my sons use their players at campouts for many hours and I have never seen them go off. I have never used mine for an extended time on battery.

They come with batteries. Not sure how many because I've never had to replace them yet.

I can't remember how the batteries are that came with them. I have some of these that are almost three years old and I don't think I've changed them more than twice. I have a few that are almost two years old now and one of them just barely started cherping a month ago. I'd say the battery lasts over a year at least. They last long enough that I haven't given it much thought.

The rechargeable batteries in mine last about 8 hours on a full charge with the radio playing. When I use alkaline batteries I get about 20 hours of play time.

I've had mine about a year and have not replaced batteries. But it depends how much you use it.

The batteries with intermittent use, lasted about 4 1/2 to five months. It may have been a bit longer, but no more then 6 months. I don't have any complaints. The screen shows enough detail with a night light outside.

We usually don't use ours for more than 90 minutes of continuous use. They could probably hit 2 1/2 hours with a decent battery, but it might be a stretch. I don't know if you need them to run continuously for the whole time, but we try to conserve power by turning them off when not actively in use. We're running them on Energizer rechargables.
