How often do you find you need to change your batteries? If every 6 weeks normal?

About once a month for me, my dogs only wear their collars when I'm not home too.

Once the dog gets the hang of it, I've found that I can set the collar to beep only (no shock) and it's still effective. I assume that extends the battery life because it doesn't have to charge / maintain the shock system. The real problem is dead batteries from a new package.

I've only changed them once in 8 months. Really once the parameters are established I think you could take the wire down and collar off and they'd still be afraid to cross the line.

It really depends on how often your dog barks, at least to a degree. You could remove the battery when your dog is not wearing it, as that probably would extend the battery life. They should work longer than 6 wks, however, in my opinion, but most dogs should have 'learned their lesson' (re: what happens when they insist on barking when the collar is on) within 6 wks. At least our hounds did. . .

I have had mine for almost 6 months and have not had to change the batteries.

It depends upon the type of batteries you use and the number of pictures you take as well as how many times you have reviewed your pictures. I never have gone more than 6 months without replacing batteries in my SX120.

I use mine about once a month and have not had to change the batteries yet. I have them in for the past 4 months. Great unit!!!!!

I am using it once every week. So far I haven't change battery yet.......it's been a year I guess....

Do not change batteries enough for it to be a problem. Probably depends on the brand. Maybe once a year

What other have said is typical - twice daily, 2 minutes each brushing, new battery it's good for over a week. Don't know exactly because I never run it down completely.

We change batteries probably once a month. Thats the only disappointing thing. Although they are supposed to be good for 3200 times, the motion sensors check you when you walk through the kitchen. I wish they would only come on when you were working at the countertop.

Battery life is fine, I've only had to actually replace them one time since my purchase. Checked the mouse with new batteries to make sure the issues weren't battery related, but they persisted so I stuck the old batteries back inside every time. So one battery change after ~4.5 months of fairly heavy daily use.

I usually get several months from the batteries..that is using them every day seven days a week (w/timer)....

A LONG time. It was years before I had to replace mine, but I don't use it every day. Maybe a couple times a week is all.

I've not recorded when I change batteries, but my estimate is that with turning them off each night (which I sometimes forget) that they last several weeks.

Had it for 6 months and no problems with the battery. However, I replace the motors about every 15 flights.

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.

I change mine about every 6 months, but I only use it at work. It doesn't get everyday or all day use.

I've had this remote for over two years. I saw the light and went the rechargeable route. I can usually go 7-8 weeks between battery changes. If you use the backlight a lot it seems to eat batteries faster. I do know if you have one bad or low battery it will tell you to change batteries quicker. Make sure that all four batteries are fresh.

We have not had to change the batteries and my husband uses it quite a lot. It must be working since we have had it for over a year.
