Hi. I am checking with EV Rider for a better answer than I have at present. However, the main factor to consider right now is that there are no SLA units available. And as of today they are not in production. They are negotiating with the manufacturer over something, I don't know what. Bill Keene 954-421-3169 Boca Home Medical Supplies

In my experience, these last as long as the battery - barring accidental damage. The older models had a user replaceable battery - not too easy with these newer models. If you care properly for the Li-ion battery, it may last 3-4 years - or even longer, depending on use. Of course, YMMV

Still didn't have to repair or replace parts so I don't know. Considering that I have been using mine since October 2013 with no problems, I think buying a new one if it breaks would not be such a big issue considering the price of $74,18. I think placing it properly and checking the batteries after a couple of months for corrosion will help it last.

4 or 5 months, you can buy replacement batteries in bulk on Amazon. Easy to replace.

I didn't do any scientific measurement. My opnion is therefore subjecive. It appears that these batteries do last. This key is to get them fresh. Batteries do lose power with time if you let them sit. Some lithium button batteries that I purchased on e-bay were two years old and lasted about a week in my guitar tuner, which is way too short. I blame it on the age of the batteries. Those 9 volt lithium batteries don't seem to have this issue. We'll see in a few years.

I had fantastic luck with regular double A batteries as well. Generally, they would last for maybe about 8 hours of life, and I always got accurate battery life readouts, and was always able to replace them when they got low without any issues.

*Up to 8 hours of use with built-in rechargeable battery(Lithium Ion) When the battery needs to be replaced, it is best to have the manufacturer do it.

There is no easy access to replace the batteries. But, as with all devices and tools that use lithium-ion or lithium polymer batteries, they are fantastic for a couple a thousand cycles of charging, minimum. That would mean you can charge them three times a say for several years without a problem. I can't see anyone using them that much. I hope the information helps.

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.

one more vote for the Energizer L91 AA lithium batteries. I found they lasted at least 4 times as long as brand name alkaline batteries in my now stolen canon a530. while the initial purchase of the batteries is more expensive they end up costing you less money because they last so much longer. i also noticed the camera weighed much less with them in it and the flash seemed to recharge faster.

You can buy replacement batteries from prodeco. I believe there are 2 different ones the standard range one is $400 and the extended range one is $500. I would guess they weigh 10 and 14 pounds respectively.

All I have ever used are lithium batteries. I have had the same lithium batteries for more than five years and no issues.

I use rechargeable AA batteries. The initial investment might seem pricey, but it takes years of use for them to wear out, making them a great deal in the long run. Seriously, about $12 for 2, 3, or 4 years of service? So much better than using throwaways!

We have about twenty of these at my work, and we only use Energizer Lithium AA's. No worry about a charger or running our of power; just carry one set of spare batteries. The lithiums last a long time too and have a 10 year shelf life. Most small cameras use rechargable batteries to get a smaller, rectangular size.

If your device is like mine, the lithium battery is not replaceable. It should last 4 years. The device cost is so low, replacing it with a new, improved model in 2018 may be best.

Not sure what replacement batteries are needed. We use almost daily for about 45-60 minutes total. After months of use it still works well and can be seen from a distance of several hundred feet. Outstanding buy!

Not a expert but my experience w/ similar type emergency lighting batteries is 2-4 yrs. They actually would last longer if receiving a discharge/charge every 3-6 months. Probably why people report these go bad after 3-4 yrs because they rarely get discharged/charged. If you do buy a spare keep it in a cool place and that will help the shelf life.
