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

I imagine it depends on the power drain of the particular brand of aids that you have. I have Phonaks, and the batteries typically last about 3 days.

Depends on how many times you push to use or just to scare someone. My has lasted up to 24hrs. With me just playing around and setting it off for 4 or 5 hrs. and I still had charge next day.

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.

I have used mine for at least 4 hours. After 6 or 7 years it still lasts over 2 hours.

We've used ours for almost two months without a battery change. We use our remote for 30 minutes or more once a week, so we've got 4-5 hours on our first set of batteries. It stands to be said that we only use it for a remote and not as a laser pointer or timer.

3 years. Be aware that batteries are not user replaceable but will probably last 5 years. This was the one drawback I found. Great device though with the "Eco" outlets.

I have been using the device for two months only and very few times until it dies. The longer I have experiencie is almost 7 hours. I hope this is useful

Hello Bobbie R, this device uses 2 AA batteries. My advise to you is to purchase rechargeable batteries so you won't burn your money buying them every week. I hope that this answers your question my friend, peace and have a good day.

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.

Generally lasts about 20-30 minutes of continuous use with fresh alkaline batteries. If you switch it off when not in use, you can get as much as 40 minutes out of it total.

I have had mine for 10 months now and my husband tested the batteries a couple of weeks ago. They still tested pretty strong so my guess would be something in excess of 18 months.

I have four of these, all installed since 9/2013. One of the batteries died after about 6 months, which kinda worried me, but the other three are still on the original batteries and still sound loudly when tested. So, 6 months to at least 17 months. These are nice little units, worth a few extra bucks for the small form factor.

I don't believe there is a way to tell until the transmitter and/or receivers stop working. The batteries should last a long time though. We have devices that use the same battery and they lasted at least two years, in most cases more than that long. Hope this helps.

Mine has lasted at least a couple of hours. I haven't needed it longer than that.

About 6 - 8 hours if you run the battery all the way down. Which I dont recommend because your batteries wont last very long.
