How long do the batteries last under normal use?

I have been using mine since for over 4 months and the batteries are still working. I would characterize my usage as minimal to very minimal. I do not use it as my main remote.

Can't really say for sure. We've been using our Logitech Universal Remote for several months now without having to replace the batteries.

I have had two for several years - I have not found battery use to be an issue = not sure of the length because it is not an issue.

I have had mine for a little over a year. Batteries needed changing 5x, but some of the batts were used. While i love the remote replacing 5 others for me, the fact that it gives little to no notice of needing batt replacement is stressful. I go thru panic at why it is only partially responding. Is it my tv, my xfinity box, the remote or what? One time it briefly showed a red batt image, but i have never seen that again. Seems like it should be a basic user friendly notice....not presenting as you may have a major failure.

I use Eneloop rechargeable batteries in mine and swap out with a spare set every month or so to stay ahead of dead batts. It's nice that they run it on 2 AAs - I'm currently using a pair of 550s that use 4 AAA each.

My first battery change was about two months in, and that's with heavy use and the screen/button illumination always on. I turned off the auto-on settings and stretched it out a couple more months. Of course, I use it constantly throughout the day and evening.

I have to replace my batteries every week. I'm starting to think there is something wrong with my remote after reading these other answers. I've set it so the back light only comes on when I press a button and set it to stay on for the shortest time setting there is and no luck. It didn't make a difference.

I have had two for several years - I have not found battery use to be an issue = not sure of the length because it is not an issue. On the primary remote we are using it frequently. The screen is on mainly as black and white helping turn on items that should have already turned on - lower power usage but it should not be needed - the remote drives my wife crazy as it is inconsistent in how it works.

A few months for me. Its backlit but only turns on when motion Is sensed then shuts off after a few seconds

9 to 10 hours depending on setting and batteries used. I usually get at least 9 hours using rechargeable batteries.

Pretty long. Months I would say. We got ours about 10 months ago and I think I have only replaced the batteries 2 or 3 times. Pretty good considering it is used almost every night.

I use them alot , most of the day in fact, and I can get around 5 hours (talking on Skype and listening to Youtube videos) of use out of them before they need recharged. They take about a hour to recharge ( I just use them with the charging cord plugged in)

I've left them in for a reasonable period of time (life of batteries) with no ill effect, though it could possible shorten the battery life. I have no evidence, just a hunch.

The batteries last easily around 25 hours with quality lithium batteries, while I apologize for any misleading information.

My batteries like these (I have a few) have lasted well over a year. Average with daily use has been a year and half and more.

I do not know exactly, but I am going to say at least two years. They rarely need changed. Battery life is impressive.

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

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!

I have had mine for 3 months and have used it once or twice a day since then. I just changed the batteries in it today. So depending on you use I would say 2 to 3 months.

We still have the original batteries (3 months) but our use is not regular. We use the radios when husband is working in yard and I need to stay in tou with him, so a few hours a couple times a week.

Wel we don't run the lights all the time so I only know that I have only changed the batteries once so far. We run them when we have guests over. It appears that they last pretty long though.

I have three Batteries and keep them recharged while I use one of them for a work most of the time. I guess a couple of hours to recharge one. I notice I have to charge them more frequently lately. I wonder they are getting less powerful.

I have had mine for several months now with no problems. The batteries are replaceable on both the keyboard and the mouse. With normal use, I would think at least three years.

I've had mine about a year and have not replaced batteries. But it depends how much you use it.

I used mine to decorate my desk at work and the same batteries I used last year are still going strong! I had them on last year about 6 hours a day for about a month or so and just put them back up this year about a week ago and so far so good! Hope this helps! I love these lights! They are super bright also! -Tanya
