How long should a battery last before being changed?

We "changed" or replaced the battery in my wife's Toshiba when it would no longer last longer than a few minutes. The new one we purchased on Amazon now last her six or seven hours. She only plays games. No Internet. We were replacing the original battery which came with the tablet, purchased in September of 2011. Hope this helps.

yes. Days actually. Just make sure when you get it, you run the battery completely dead before changing it for the first time.

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 have not had to change the battery every 14 days. I would probably change them monthly though for my own piece of mind.

Usually the battery last between 4 to 6 hours. Just make sure you don't drain the battery. When you see that the battery is almost gone, charge it to prolong the battery life.

You should not need to replace the battery during normal life, it is LI-iON battery and would last 10+ years, latest battery technology. It is not user replaceable but can be sent in for service replacement if ever a need. I own LI-iON batteries for my RC cars, never gone bad!

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 can't say over the long-term, but I have had mine for three months, I use it everyday for hours at a time, and I have not yet had to replace the battery.

It varies, but usually, they tell you to replace any battery after one year or if you notice your items are not working as great - then it is time to change.

Specs say battery is good for 250 hours. The key is remembering to switch it OFF after the job. If it is left on in your bag for weeks on end, then it will drain the battery. Otherwise it will be a very long time between battery changes, as mics use almost no power at all compared to electronic devices.

The battery I got didn't last too long. About 5 or 6 months. Perhaps a fresh battery would last longer though!

I like to replace SLA batteries after about three years of service. I've had a few that have still been spry up to about five years of use, but most of them start to drop off in capacity and run time before that. - Greg

You don't....just replace the old battery with the fresh one...it will take anywhere from 24 to 48 hours. It may seem like it is a dud, but give time and hopefully, it recharges as expected (30-days to return if you suspect it to be a real dud). My replacement took about 30 some hours to be fully charged. In the mean time, I kept getting some odd codes from on my Ademco panel. Once sufficiently charged, the codes went away. Oh, yeah, after sufficiently charged, it gave me a code that my battery in the motion sensor also needed to be replaced. My old battery and the motion sensor battery lasted more than six years.

If you have a tiny Phillips head screwdriver with a magnetic tip (like the ones that are used for eyeglass adjustments), you should not have a problem. There are 3 tiny phillip head screws that need to come out to remover the backing. Once the backing is removed, there is one more TINY Phillips head screw that "holds" the battery in. Once you have the right screwdriver, it can be changed within 3 minutes.

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

I have had two of these units for 5 or more years and neither has required a battery change. The battery is in the switch only, not the part that plugs into the electric. I use one of them (the one in the pantry) several times a day so they must not use much power. The battery is only used for an instant when you switch it so should last for a very long time.

Quite a while. It's just a AAA battery. When the radio starts coming through its time to change it.
