What is the time length of the batteries on occasional usage? Also where might I buy new batteries. Sue

Hi, I think our battery lasted almost 18 months with reasonable morning and evening usage - it is the only "light switch" for that room. The battery is a 12V MN21/A23. I just replaced it at "Batteries+Bulbs" which I think used to be called "Batteries Plus". There are several available on Amazon.com including: http://www.amazon.com/Duracell-Security-21-Count-Pack/dp/B00005T3E3/ref=sr_1_3?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1400428723&sr=1-3&keywords=12v+mn21+a23 I know you asked your question a year ago, so I hope someone else finds this helpful too!

Well in my opinion the battery during more time already i buy alkaline batteries. The time duration is between 45 minutes or 1 hour. I think you should buy alkalines batteries. Thanks.

Not sure, but I have had the same batteries in it with intermittent use for months.

They last pretty long. Make sure you use quality batteries, like Duracell or Energizer. Don't forget to turn them off when not in use. I don't want to attempt to guesstimate how many hours, but we really don't have to change them often. If they start making funny noises, time to change batteries.

The ones I have are quite comparable. Also, just so you know... I've been told that these batteries have a 24 month warranty on them... so if you have any issues you could contact the company as well for a replacement or something.

Hello, I don't know, your best bet (probably) would be to email them and ask...seems there a jillion batteries out there.

It' hard to say but I have had them last 24 hours on standby. With use and time as with all batteries it seems they develop memory and lose their capability to maintain a charge over a long period of time. I carry two batteries with me and switch them. From the beginning of my day until about 4 o'clock I usually have to change batteries or put it on charge.

I am not qualified to say how long the batteries will last based on your description but would assume based on my past experience that they will have a fairly long life compared to other style batteries. Unfortunately they are not rechargeable.

I would contact the company directly. In my experience, their customer service is excellent- they replaced faulty batteries in the unit I purchased via Amazon, not directly from them, free of charge.

Best place I've found is BatteriesPlus.com . Check your Yellow Pages, they might have a store in your area. This is not a plug for BatteriesPlus, just an answer.

Battery size two "AA". Not sure on duration. I try to use Energizer Advanced Lithium.

Sorry, I've no idea. They just didn't seem to last as long as batteries I buy locally.

I always take the batteries out between uses. They will last for a number of uses. I use the energizer 377 batteries. Hope that helps,

Tom, I got my battery from the manufacture but I think you could check places like Battery Plus. They may have the battery or a similar set up. Good luck!

I don't have exact time but I have used mine several hours now and still using original batteries.

I bought it but haven't had to change the battery, or used it much. i'd go to their website, i would think you could find the answer there.bestDonna
