do the real batteries in the controller last a long time?

It total depends on how long you run the toy each time. I want to say I had about 30 min of runtime on mine. Replaced with rechargeable batteries.

They mean the controller itself. And since it has an auto turn-off feature, so you won't have to charge it often.

I have one that I've been using for almost three years and it's still going strong. Just change the batteries when it starts getting sluggish or acting weird and it'll come back to life.

The remote batteries last a long time because it goes into sleep mode of not used. The batteries in the collar on the other hand last about 2-3 weeks if on continuously. It feels like we have to change these a lot, but we leave the collar on all the time unless our dog is in his kennel.

The reviews are indeed true. One little lifehack that another reviewer posted was to simply put the batteries in backwards when you're done using them. Then, when you want to use it again, put them in the right way. It takes all of 10 seconds and the batteries are preserved.

Actually that's a really good question. The answer is yes they do hold a charge for a long time. I've been able to get a couple of days out of my batteries.

We don't yet but as quick as the car needed new batteries we just bought some to put in them. The controller doesn't go through batteries nearly as fast.

I have been using the same batteries for nearly 4 months! This device is very good on batteries! I love my iKross Keyboard! Cecelia

We bought this item 7 months ago and the original batteries are still working. This is on our inside stairway and is used constantly.

the batteries i got were in the retail packaging just a bit of a damaged box. The batteries themselves are duracell. The only negative thing I noticed is that these batteries did not last very long. they did the trick for a while for a wii u controller and xbox controller for a month or so then new batteries were needed. Perhaps it's because of how much use and power these particular devices take up? I'm not sure.

The batteries will have a longer life if you remove them when not in use. After a month of usage, I'm still using my original batteries.

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.

I bought 2 of them 3 years ago and have not had any problems with them. They are very well built, and the batteries are still as good as new.

I've had mine for six months now, and the batteries are still going strong.

That is hard to say. I have gotten batteries that seem to last FOREVER, and others that don't work after a couple of weeks. The candles are wonderful though, and because I enjoy them so much, I am more than willing to replace the batteries whenever necessary.

My battery went dead, a couple of times. Until i started taking it out after playing, it last alot longer with this method.

I put fresh batteries in before a trip I took for 14 days & I ran it every night. The batteries are still good but I am taking an extra set of 4 with me on the next trip......just in case!
