how long are these supposed to last?

Mine lasted a few months, replacement also lasted only a few months, they would not send me a third...

I bought mine in March of 2010. I use it daily for audiobooks, about 2.5-3 hours. I charge it every other day.

In my experience, these last as long as the battery - barring accidental damage. The older models had a user replaceable battery - not too easy with these newer models. If you care properly for the Li-ion battery, it may last 3-4 years - or even longer, depending on use. Of course, YMMV

I had two of them. The first one only lasted a couple of days. I figured it was a lemon and I received another. It lasted a four or five weeks and the screen turned green and that was the end of that SanDisk. I will not own another.

My first (Sansa Clip) lasted a couple years. The last two (Clip+) failed at 45 days and 60 days, respectively.

I've had one for over 5 years now that's still going. The battery life isn't quite what it used to be, but still over a day of pretty heavy use.

They last a long time. I can't tell you how long I had the first one but I know it was at least five or more years.

I would not trust to be more then 6 months. I know they don't last longh after you install them even if you don't print anyting.

I truthfully do not know. I do know that I do not change mine every 6 months. I would think that they last a long time as I have not seen any date on them.

They last ok.. Like 4-5 hours.. I mean they were literally $1 each-) so the quality matches the price-)

They last about a year. I have been buying them for about five years and Amazon has the best prices. I think you will be happy with them. Hope this helped.

They expire within a month. The are only only supposed to last for 17 days (3 times a day for 17 days) I've had mine last for 2 months and still work.

Definitely long enough to last several months. I don't remember now exactly, but it was probably close to a year, so there should be no problems.

I used them in Cvaults. Typically they last a few months. It also depends on how dry or wet the material is. Another factor is how often the container is opened.

Keep 'em clean and they should last much longer. I'm at the 6 month point right now and they are still working really well.

Mine hasn't burnt out yet so I am not sure how long they last. Ours are not located in a spot where we use them every day either.

No, I have not. And so far, I have not had any problems with them lasting for weeks and even several months.

At least a few months. I use them too quickly to find out, but I used a leftover box after about three months and they were good as new.

I would say a few weeks, depending where you put them. If you have them in a rather air-tight container, they last a very long time...if there is air exchange, they obviously won't last as long. I like them a lot but I did have one go bad on me...when I was re-charging...for some odd reason, the balls turned black...rendering that one useless...the others that were in the same condition and were heated for the same time did just fine...

I don't know. I use them within a week of charging. Some that have set for 6 months still have a bit of charge to last at least an hour probably, but I didn't pay attention.

The ones I bought I've already used them. There should be an expiration date on the box, if not I'd ask them.

I don't know, mine were good for 3-4 months. If you contact the seller maybe they can tell you.
