How long does a set of batteries last on the main unit?

Depends on how much you use it. I use it every weekend and the batteries last for about three weekends of steady use.

Have used unit a lot and have not had to change batteries yet. More than 3 weekends. Caller does work a long long way from hand controller. Be careful on siren locator it will crack a speaker. Other than that it is the best caller I have ever heard. The running deer in leaves will have you looking for it. simply the best unit on the market. PS I don't work for them. Just a great unit. Mike

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!!!!!

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

The first set of Duracell batteries in one light on our front porch (activated a few times a night on average) lasted for four years. I had to replace them earlier this year so i don't know how long these second set will last.

Like the others said I guess it's in the item specs. To be honest I've never had to replace them or anything. I have two of these and one has been going for a few years. Admittedly they only get used on occasion but the batteries have held up.

Battery packs must be installed into each parent unit. The batteries are charged only when in the parent unit. Once charged the parent unit can be disconnected from the power supply for about eight hours before they will need to be recharged (the instructions with the units will specify how much time to expect). This allows users to move about with the parent unit while it monitors the baby unit (e.g. move to another room to complete a task).

I have not used batteries in my unit yet. I have seen in some reviews that the batteries don't last too long.

They last pretty long. Make sure you use quality batteries, like Duracell or Energizer. Don't forget to turn them off when not in use. I don't want to attempt to guesstimate how many hours, but we really don't have to change them often. If they start making funny noises, time to change batteries.

I use my lamp on and off for a week or two before changing batteries. If used steadily they would last somewhere from 6 to 10 hours I'm guessing before changing batteries but I'm using rechargeables. They dim steadily when the batteries loose charge. It's the best clamp lamp I've ever had and withstands heavy use. Very sturdy.

I'm not sure as I've never installed batteries. I've read they usually last two months or so.

I have used my set for nearly a year with no problems. The batteries should last at least a couple of years if not 3 or 4+.

On the higher setting, they probably lasted around 18-24 hours. On the lower setting, you could probably expect 24-36. We used them in Haiti and were pretty pleased with their performance. Ended up using half of the batteries that I expected to.

The rechargeable batteries in mine last about 8 hours on a full charge with the radio playing. When I use alkaline batteries I get about 20 hours of play time.

Part of this answer is going to depend on the quality of battery you buy. here is my experience. I used Energizer batterys for the week of my vacation. The radio was on for about three to five hours for five days (20 hours or so) When I got home I took the batterys out and went back to using the cord because the radio stays in the house. i tested the batteries and they still showed an almost full charge so I put them with my spare flashlights. I would guess that the batterys would have lasted better than twice the time I used them for.

I haven't exactly timed it and as one who has multiple batteries, I don't may that close attention and I don't run them all the way down...but I'd say about 30 mins on average.

I'm still on my first set of batteries I put in it (2 AAs) and I'm amazed they've lasted this long. I've been using it off-and-on both day and night. The other night I fell asleep with it on and expected the batteries to be dead in the morning. They're still going! I turn the radio off when commercials come on so I'm sure that helps, but still, I've been pleased with battery life for this radio.

The repeller is motion activated, so battery life seems to be long. I'm still on the first set of batteries, and it's been a couple of months so far.

Not long, had to buy an extra 3 pack of batteries to keep on hand. Never leave home without an extra one.
