How often do the batteries need to be changed?

This totally depends on your usage of the product, I used mine two weeks before I had to change mine, however, I only used this about 3-4 hrs a day.

I bought the device for my Mom so am not sure but she indicated the batteries don't last very much longer than a month or so, but she thinks the device is the best one she's tried. She's tried a number of them.

I've been using mine off and on for a couple of months now, daily as it is. And I haven't replaced the batteries yet, I think it takes triple a though! Just use it and see for yourself. I wouldn't use it for hours at a time, my main usage of it is minutes here and there!! Hope this helps ya!!!

After about a year the batteries were still working fine. That said, I'm not sure how long they'll actually last because, for SAFETY SAKE, it is recommended you replace batteries ONCE A YEAR regardless if they're still working or not. I change mine every fall around Daylight Savings Time. (I keep the partially used up batteries, in a marked "Used" baggie, for toys or other odd uses; but never for smoke alarms!) Hope this helps.

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 couldn't say exactly, but definitely a long time! I don't change my battery often. I have 3 batteries: 2 Wasabi and 1 Lumix, and I haven't noticed a difference between them. They're always full-power according to the camera indicator when I switch to a new one. I'd say on average I change my battery every couple weeks, but the one I randomly replace it with may have been sitting a month at least.

I usually change the batteries every two months....or, you can gauge it if you start seeing cats around. It works well where we live.....there are at least 6 cats that keep their distance from our patio rail.

I have only had mine for a few months and never turn it off. My husband has had one for over 2 years, never turns it off, and has never needed to replace the batteries. Supposedly they have a battery life of up to 36 months. Hope this helps.

Quite a while. I have owned this for well over a year now, and I have only replaced the batteries once.

I have never changed the batteries...It has worked well ever since we got it. That's been about 4 months now.

We do not use ours that much but have not replaced batteries yet. We love this unit and would not give it up.

i went at least 3 years without changing the batteries. Normal use was 3-4 weekends per year of camping plus a power outage or two.

My daughter uses this a lot. She'll push the buttons over and over again, so it plays for probably close to an hour a day. I have replaced the batteries three times in the past year or so. There is a compartment on the back that you have to unscrew to replace the batteries.

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've had ours for almost a year now and have not had to change the batteries? How often do you find you have to change them? I'd think once a year would be normal.... we love our doorbell.... change the tune frequently and just wish those outside could hear it too.... our house is too sound proof!

I changed the batteries on mine after more than a year of use; the stock batteries were just generic. I haven't changed them again after replacing it with good batteries over a year ago. I use mine about three to four times a week for several hours at a time. Just switch off when you're not using it.
