How long do the batteries last in this safe?

I haven't had to change the batteries during the few months that I've had mine. However, the safe comes with a key to open the safe when the batteries require changing.

A very long time. I have a different Stack On safe, and I haven't changed them at all. That's been at least 5 years. Everything works great on both this and the other safe. You won't have any regrets!

A lot, probably has to do with how often you access the safe. I would assume the more often, the faster you'll drain the battery.

I have had my batteries last more than 3 years ..... I have several of these type (different Models of Stack-On Safes) ... and the batteries last so long I forget .... I use DURACELL Alkaline .... The bottom line ... this is a great safe and battery life is NOT a concern really.

This safe does have a key to open it. It primarily runs is off of batteries, but it will come with a key to use when you first receive it and the key will work when the batteries fail. So, to answer your question, the safe will remain locked when the batteries die, but once they get low, you will see a red light on the front of the safe and that is an indicator to change the batteries before they completely die.

It would be safe to say 8 hours, but it lasts a long time. There is no worry in the battery department!

I put fresh batteries in before a trip I took for 14 days & I ran it every night. The batteries are still good but I am taking an extra set of 4 with me on the next trip......just in case!

Mine lasted about three (3) months. I open my safe 5-6 times a week. The bigger issue is that fact that it doesn't have a warning beep like a smoke detector that it is getting low. I tried to open it one morning and it just didn't work. Not a great design for something you need in an emergency to just work.

The two 9V batteries are outside the safe and mounted on the circuit board under the keypad. The safe does not have to be opened to replace the batteries.I hope this answer answers your question.

In an air tight safe, i would expect they would last a long time. Unless you open the safe every day. I use one in a locker. Not air tight, not fireproof. I get about 4 weeks before recharge.

I have four of these, all installed since 9/2013. One of the batteries died after about 6 months, which kinda worried me, but the other three are still on the original batteries and still sound loudly when tested. So, 6 months to at least 17 months. These are nice little units, worth a few extra bucks for the small form factor.

Maybe 30 min, but you can bigger batteries. Just make sure its safe for the motor

My wife bought this for me for a trip out to Big Bend last Xmas. I still have the same batteries in it and have used it since Dec 26, 2014. on a few trips and power outages.I'm going to say 150 Low and more than 16 hours on High.

Most batteries last 4-5 days depending on how many hours you have them on each day.

Open the safe with your key and replace the battery. I'be had mine for a couple months and the original battery still opens the safe. I use my key most of the time.

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.

I installed these locks in my house about eight months ago. I have not changed any batteries yet. The battery replacement is not hard. You have to unscrew the lock but don't have to take it all apart.

The batteries will last approximately two years when in standby mode. If the alarm is sounding continuously, the batteries will last approximately five hours. With normal use the alarm will not constantly be in standby mode or sounding continuously. Therefore, the user can expect the batteries to last anywhere from 3-12 months depending on how often the alarm is activated.

Mine last at least 6 months, but a couple have lasted close to a year. It depends on the battery, weather, and how much traffic you have to trigger the alarm. The lithium 9 volt batteries do not work correctly because the voltage is too high and it causes lots of false alarms. Hope this helps.

sorry took so long. not sure what happens, batteries haven't died yet but I believe it stays locked. You get 2 keys to manually open safe if batteries die or code is forgotten.
