How long does the battery last? Where is the best place to purchase replacement batteries?

I used it non-stop (except for bedtime) and it lasted about 3 and 1/2 days.

It depends on the battery. A Duracell cost more but will go from 3-5 days. I usually run mine all day at work. The rechargeable Tenley last a day to a day and a half. Over the long haul, they are more economical.

For solid use, I agree with M. Kilgore. In my experience it has lasted 3 1/2 to 4 days (not counting bedtime), though of course, far longer with intermittent use. My most cost-effective solution on batteries thus far, after researching failure rates and short lifespans of the rechargeable batteries, has been to order the 12 pack of Streamlight brand batteries here on Amazon, usually when it is at the $18.66 price point. As I rely heavily on this device for certain occasions, I want to be sure I have a battery with power when I need it. However, if I used it all day every day, I might revisit the rechargeable concept. For solid use, I agree with M. Kilgore.

You should be able to get about 15 hours of use at least for each battery. Also, for frequent users, we recommend switching over to a rechargeable battery system. You can buy one on Amazon. JUST DON'T USE THE REGULAR C123 BATTERIIES IN THE RECHARGER BUT INSTEAD USE THE RECHARGABLE BATTERIES IT COMES WITH!!!

The rechargeable don't last as long as ones you can get from Target or Walmart, Duracell seems to work the best.

The battery should definitely last longer than that. We'd be happy to send you a new battery. Please contact us at info@becomegurus.com or 866.991.8494.Thanks.~Kathy

You can purchase batteries here on Amazon or the following locations: Radio Shack, Best Buy, Batteries +, or any battery supply house.I would suggest that you do a Google search for the size / type of battery you need followed by your zip code. This will give you local options as well as internet suppliers.Enjoy - Mark

I don't know the life span of the battery. I still have the same one that came with it when I bought it back in December. Maybe someone who has had one of these longer could give you a better idea about the battery life.

The best price batteries I bought were from hobbyking for lipos. Prices vary depending on witch size you go with. Most all of them are decently priced.

The battery lasts for roughly 150 minutes of "on" time. There are spare batteries available for $29.95 each if you need to hot swap.

I've had a couple of these and even when new I don't get more than an hour out of a charge. Currently it's about 30-45 minutes. I've never found the batteries to replace the original and my belief is they aren't replaceable. I just buy another WLB26B since they are relatively cheap and I like them because of the light output.

I've had mixed luck with replacement batteries, and it's not necessarily a "get what you pay for" scenario. I'd say the "bad" replacement batteries I bought probably gave me an hour of actual run time, whereas I've had good replacement batteries give me at least 4 or 5 hours, maybe more. I mainly use it for less than 10 minutes at a time, so it's hard to judge the run time I get out of batteries. Either way, replacements are small enough and cheap enough to just keep a few on hand at all times.

You can buy replacement batteries from prodeco. I believe there are 2 different ones the standard range one is $400 and the extended range one is $500. I would guess they weigh 10 and 14 pounds respectively.

They last a long time, and they can be found at a battery or radioshack type store, possibly pharmacy. They make a medical version of the battery with even longer life.

I haven't replaced the battery that came with it. It's one the small wafer type batteries. You can get them most anywhere from Walgreens to Home Depot.

It's the standard battery, but it lasts a good amount of time. Unless you're going to be playing all day without a break, it should be plenty. Also, are the extended replacement batteries even out yet? I was under the impression those haven't been released yet (as of this writing).

I used Radio Shack after using original batteries for five years. Other electronic stores can supply batteries if Radio Shack is not in your area.

Hi Cara, you can buy the replacement batteries from our official website. Because this is quite a new model and the batteries are very durable, no customer is asking for it till now. However, we will post it on our online webstore next week.

Replacement CR2032 batteries are very cheap on amazon once they eventually die out (As low as $2.25 for a two pack). Been using mine since September and still going!
