I just purchased mine about a year ago and it's still going strong. Batteries can be replace if I remember correctly.

I use mine every day and the original set of batteries lasted about 18-20 months.

No, when the batteries die, replace them. I have had it for 16 months and have replaced the batteries only once. Great little machine. If you aren't going to use it for a while, just take the batteries out.

Depends on the frequency of use. Have had mine for a year or two and still on the original battery. It's used a couple of times a day and every now and then about 20 times a day when the kids play with it.

Haven't had any problems with batteries. Spec sheet says to change once per year and that seems reasonable.

We still have the original batteries (3 months) but our use is not regular. We use the radios when husband is working in yard and I need to stay in tou with him, so a few hours a couple times a week.

You are better off just getting a new one when needed because you have to be careful on how and where you store them. Best rule of thumb is to change them every 3 years with a fresh new battery.

Not very often. I can usually get through a couple long days of shooting before having to change them. I just use the basic Energizer or Duracell batteries too, nothing fancy. I've really enjoyed the mic, works great.

It depends upon the type of batteries you use and the number of pictures you take as well as how many times you have reviewed your pictures. I never have gone more than 6 months without replacing batteries in my SX120.

You need new "rechargable batteries" I find I need to replace them about every 9-10 months, depending on how much they are turned on. We both watch TV about 6 hours a day and more on weekends. Ours screw up when they are not chargring in their unit.

I have found that the more you use these batteries the better they respond, if you use them infrequently and don't charge them at least once a month they loose their ability to hold a charge in a year. However, if you use them and charge them once a month when they don't get used, then 3 to 4 years.
