How long do the batteries last? Do you need to change them often?

I don't think I change them since I got the phone. I know that perhaps that doesn't answer your question directly, but I used the same set of batteries on dozens of packs of film.

You more than likely wont have to change the batteries for a while... But if you do, they're AA, put on your ninja shoes... Tip-toe through your house while everyone's asleep, sneak into the living room..... Throw in one of those fancy floor rolls you see spies do in the movies... Then, wait till your cat walks out of the room because you're acting a fool, grab the remote control, pop open that sucker and steal those effin batteries.. Don't forget to swap the dead batteries... No one will ever know what happened and you will be back to taking selfies in your bedroom in no time at all..

I've had them for more than 1-1/2 years without replacing the batteries but they're not always on. We like it a lot.

Battery life is good; the person who told me about. It, used it non stop for several days and since then infrequently but has not had to change batteries. I gave one to someone the day before yesterday and they used it 2 nights in a row non stop!

I've had mine a couple of years and only changed the batteries once, but we don't use it every day

I haven't had much luck with batteries lasting. the last longer if you take them out when not using, but that's a pain. its a great unit and I use it at work but on electric.

Yes you need to change the batteries but you can use rechargeable batteries.

They typically last 6 months. It depends on how much you use it. I change mine every 9 months.

We've used ours for almost two months without a battery change. We use our remote for 30 minutes or more once a week, so we've got 4-5 hours on our first set of batteries. It stands to be said that we only use it for a remote and not as a laser pointer or timer.

Same as the other two responses, I have never used it long enough at one time to find out. I rarely have to change batteries though.

I can't tell you how many hours but I've had mine since May of last year and have only changed the batteries once. I have them on every night from about 7 to 12.

We have not had to change the batteries and my husband uses it quite a lot. It must be working since we have had it for over a year.

I've had this remote for over two years. I saw the light and went the rechargeable route. I can usually go 7-8 weeks between battery changes. If you use the backlight a lot it seems to eat batteries faster. I do know if you have one bad or low battery it will tell you to change batteries quicker. Make sure that all four batteries are fresh.

I have had mine installed for over a year on a pool house. Lots of use during the summer. I have not had to change batteries yet.

We have had six of these units in our home for over a year. We replaced all batteries after approximately one year. One unit is outside in the cold and heat and it's batteries lasted a year. The unit will give a little chime note every three or four minutes when the batteries need to be replaced.

I couldn't say exactly, but definitely a long time! I don't change my battery often. I have 3 batteries: 2 Wasabi and 1 Lumix, and I haven't noticed a difference between them. They're always full-power according to the camera indicator when I switch to a new one. I'd say on average I change my battery every couple weeks, but the one I randomly replace it with may have been sitting a month at least.

Not very often. I can usually get through a couple long days of shooting before having to change them. I just use the basic Energizer or Duracell batteries too, nothing fancy. I've really enjoyed the mic, works great.

I've had mine almost a year and haven't had to change the batteries yet. Thinking about getting another!
