Does the manual or box state how long this unit will last on a set of batteries?

The manual says to change the batteries at least once a year as a good safety measure, or at the same time as you change your clocks for daylight saving time. The alarm has a simple way to test it, and the manual recommends doing so once a week.

Battery life is not stated, however we have had our batteries in it since June, and they are still strong. My guess is that the batteries will last well over a year. It is a nice unit and good looking.

I had the old model 9CO5 (not Low Profile). Batteries included lasted 2.5 years, replacements lasted 4.5 years, detector lasted 7 years, 1 month.

No, on the box it tells you what you need... my granddaughter loves hers if it were here at my home i would tell you what batteries to buy I got it for her for Christmas and bought batteries for alot of toys :)

It uses 4 AA batteries, and according to the manual, they should last about 1year with normal use.

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.

Well, this unit is just bad. Send it back, have another one sent out. I've had mine at least 3 years, maybe more and I use it for all things with batteries. It's been a good unit, your unit is just bad.

Depends how much you use it.I only use mine sparingly and the batteries have lasted for months. Use lithium batteries and they'll probably last a year.

I have had mine for 10 months now and my husband tested the batteries a couple of weeks ago. They still tested pretty strong so my guess would be something in excess of 18 months.

depends on your weight. 3 or 4 hours for me when batteries were new, but unit is cheaply made and doesn't last long.

I have used mine 8-9 times each time was about 30-45 minutes. I have not replaced the batteries yet, but I do keep an extra set in my truck. I use lithium, due to the cold weather.

At least three months of heavy use. No warning of the batteries dying yet either. You don't have to turn it off and on. It will turn itself off after roughly 10-15 minutes of being still and takes about a second to turn back on by moving it around. It's quite good, and probably even better with rechargeable batteries.

I don't know but it looks like a standard battery simular to those in UPS units so I would figure 3 to 4 years. The battery only comes into play in a power outage.

If the unit is good, no. If the unit is bad, it will not turn off until the batteries are drained (or not turn on at all). As I posted above, you have a 50-50 chance of getting a good unit. If you do decide to buy this unit, ALWAYS buy a NEW unit, not a used one.

The unit uses 2 each CR2032 batteries, they last for at least 3 years depending on the frequency of rain and freezing conditions thaqt exist at your location.

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've only had the system for a few months, so can't speak for long-term use. The instrument array has a small solar cell that charges an internal battery. The inside console uses three "C" cells or a supplied transformer. The accompanying owner's manual suggests the "C" cells will last for about a year.

Once the battery dies in the sensor, that particular sensor will no longer send a signal to the main alarm unit. I'm finding that the batteries are lasting about 6-8 months.
