How long do regular batteries last?

As I said in my original post, not very long. I tried multiple batteries from a 20-pack, and nothing would keep any of the three in pack lit for more than 10's of minutes. We went back to inexpensive moon lights, and haven't regretted it.

Average, however you have to look at the lite to make sure it's off, one push and they deem down not off.

They last quite a long time, actually. I use NiMH rechargeables, and it's usually several months between recharges.

It depends on your settings. If you have motion activated and long record times it will be shorter. I get 12-18 months on a set. Also I buy the batteries in bulk and they are surprisingly cheap. Never buy them retail. They have very long storage life.

I just change the batteries and don't bother with the other stuff. batteries last anywhere from 2 weeks to 3+ weeks depending on how much I use it.

Well... It depends, I use rechargables and quantums. They seem to last a while, now I don't have to best sense of time so with that being said maybe two weeks. I owned beats studio and I'd have to change them every two or three weeks. They last a long time, I'll just say that XD unless you forget to turn them off or you use them like a crazy amount of time

I use mine every day and the original set of batteries lasted about 18-20 months.

I am going to say probably 4-5 hours on average if they get a good charge during the day. I now need to replace the battery in one of them, but I have had them for about 4 months. The others I have are still going strong.

It depends on if you're using them continuously. I would say you can get about 8-10 hours (though this varies). You can extend the life by removing the batteries when you don't need to use them. You can also buy replacement batteries, but they tend to be expensive so I would recommend buying new ones.

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.

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.

The standard battery gives you 8-10 minutes. Extended batteries are available that get you up to 20 or so.

I haven't had battery issues either. I used "normal" non-alkaline batteries and they lasted almost a year.

Yes, it takes 2 regular batteries. I have found that the best batteries are the 'lithium' batteries. They last the longest.

I agree with the preceding comments that normal alkaline batteries last for seemingly a long time: I would estimate 200+ pictures and ~10 videos over a 2 month period (only 1 set so far). However, I was surprised when they finally did run out because the battery icon remained at "full", so I would recommend being prepared with replacements. As CBM notes, the standard AA size is much more convenient than custom batteries.

No, but just regular batteries last a LONG time. I've had my conventional batteries in for over a year also. Battery life is excellent.

I've tried cheap batteries and expensive batteries and there is a difference in this type of device. Niteize sells replacement batteries that seem to last about 6-8 weeks with a daily 15-30 minute walk (usage). With the cheap batteries I was experiencing two weeks and they would go dead. Bottom line, you get what you pay for. As another response stated,you simply pry the back plastic off to gain access to the batteries - each device requires two batteries.

I don't know the answer, but a search on the topic of: "how long do batteries last in storage" will keep you busy a while. Seems that most batteries will store for quite some time (NiMH being a bit of an exception) when stored in a cool dry place.
