About how long do the batteries last?

I have used my scale daily for approximately two months and the original batteries are still being used. They are going strong, so I can't really answer this question. I have found with two previous scales that the original batteries last much longer than the ones I use to replace.

I have used my scale almost every day since it was delivered in September and have yet to replace the batteries. I imagine it is all down to time and usage, plus the auto-off after one minute of being idle certainly helps conserve battery power.

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.

Regular batteries (AA I think) and they last a pretty long time. I've had my first set about two years now and maybe have replaced batteries once, maybe twice. Wear them an average of 9 -12 hours a week.

Less than 4 hours for mine. The battery really does last a long time. I've had mine for several months and use them for up to 4 hours or more at a time, a couple of days a week. I have only had to charge them a couple of times so far. I am impressed with the battery in these.

A very long time. I would say somewhere around 30 hours. The battery lasts forever though.

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.

Battery life is not stated, however we have had our batteries in it since June, and they are still strong. My guess is that the batteries will last well over a year. It is a nice unit and good looking.

Thanks. How many batteries? According to your experiences, do they last for 7 months as expected?

I personally do not knwo as I used them for a teaching aid in a project but depending on what batteries you use they can last anywhere from 24-48 hours continuous (LEDs on). The consumption on it in standby mode is very little (~70 micro Ah) so depending on if it is placed in a high volume traffic area or not will also determine how fast the batteries deplete. The consumption when it is on and lite is ~70 mAh.

It lasts quite a while. I don't use mine much but I have only put one set of batteries in.

We usually don't use ours for more than 90 minutes of continuous use. They could probably hit 2 1/2 hours with a decent battery, but it might be a stretch. I don't know if you need them to run continuously for the whole time, but we try to conserve power by turning them off when not actively in use. We're running them on Energizer rechargables.

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.

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.

Usually around 6-8 hours. I've never had the battery die on a full days use.

I can't tell you how many hours but I've had mine since May of last year and have only changed the batteries once. I have them on every night from about 7 to 12.

Batteries will last 20 to 40 hours depending on factors such as quality of batteries and if headphones are being used to save power.

The batteries last easily around 25 hours with quality lithium batteries, while I apologize for any misleading information.
