How long batteries last? I am concerned about whether I will eventually pay more for batteries. I will be using this for my computer projects.

I'm still on the original set of 4 AA batteries, so I guess they last awhile. I use it for computer stuff too and I love it.

Actually the batteries lasted much longer than I expected. I bought 12 of these units to use mounting monitors to monitor arms. They were in constant use for about eight hours. We changed the batteries just once that day. I do recommend these units.

the batteries last very long, they are also rechable so with that there is no problem what so ever okay. all i could truly tell you its that a wonderful tool. i truly hope you get it ok.

I don't know. It does not have much power. I wish I would have purchased the one with the curve handle. If you are using for computer work it is to big around. It also a little heavy.

I am REALLY surprised on how long the batteries last. I have been using it for fairly heavy screwing jobs and even though I don't use it for a week or two so far it's ready to go with plenty of torque. Just keep a couple of good batteries nearby and onward.

I think the batteries would last a while with that type of use. I also think you will be please with the purchase. I used mine to build some shelves from raw wood. I went through 1 set of batteries until my husband pre-drilled the rest of the wholes for me.

I am not sure about the one I have is new and I have not used it much. What I do not like is it is to heavy and short where the bit is. I am going to get one that bends and get an extension. I believe that sounds more like what you are looking for. I used one like that one time and loved it.

Unsure mine are still going strong. It's a great hand held tool, not bulky at all. worth the price for the size of the tool in general.

I use rechargeable NiMH batteries. A set of fully charged NiMH batteries lasts more than 3 months but I don't use the screwdriver everyday. There are days when I use the screwdriver for more than 4 hours and some days when I don't use it at all.

For me , they last about 4 months. I use them in a home repair business but must add that I do not use them everyday.

Battery life will depend upon hours of use and load required to rotate screwdriver

I have no issues with this battery. I run my laptop for hours at a time typically, so I keep it plugged in. If you were to run as little as possible, I'd say it would probably last an hour or two.

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.

As with anything that uses batteries, it won't last forever. I only used it for a couple hours one day and had no issue.

I have no idea how long it will last. I will tell you this though, I once used my flashlight to plug some cables into a computer under my desk that had poor lighting on a Friday. I completely forgot about it over the weekend and walked into my office that Sunday and noticed my flashlight was still on. It still seemed as bright as ever. I still haven't changed the batteries in over a year since that incidenet.

I have had this computer for approximately 14 months and my battery holds charge now for only about an hour to 90 minutes. I am having difficulty finding another one, can someone please tell me what replacement battery would work? thanks!

As far as it lasting, I think your questions is does it work off of battery source? Its plug and play. Inserts into your usb on computer to usea/c power. I have had mine a few months, and I love it.Mark

Honestly all of the batteries are not the best. PLus if you are running any programs it wont charge to %100. Just plug in while you are not using it get the %100

I would like to know if you can buy a replacment battery that has 4 hrs. run time.The computer sounds great except for the 2 hr. 25 min. battery time.Why such a good comp. with such a whimppy battery?

The battery life has been great so far! I've had mine for two months, I never turn it off, and I use my computer for 8-12 hours every day. The batteries haven't needed changed yet.

I have been using this mouse with the lights on setting for a while and it seems that I use about 2 batteries every week to week and a half, but I have not used the mouse for very long in the lights off setting so I'm sure that they will last longer if you have the lights off.

My batteries last a month or more. It all depends on whether your wiring gets grounded for a period of time. I am basing my reply on a garden wiring around eight raised vegetable beds.

I find that at full charge the batteries last more than 4 hours. I think it is a great idea to keep a spare charged. Especially if you are editing or taking video as well.

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!

That's kinda why I'm here. Looking for a mouse with longer battery life. I have this one and I get about 30 days with a Duracell Copper Top and minimal use. I leave it turned on 24/7 though. With Duracell rechargeable NiMH batteries, it lasts almost 3 weeks.

Ha...I guess the one down side...I get about two hours on max performance. I have been thinking about getting a better battery for the laptop (4 hour type or more). However, I need to add my purchase was more for a portable desktop than a mobile computer (tablet, etc...) so it stays plugged in about 85% of the time.

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.
