How long do the batteries typically last?

I replace mine every 6 months. You can tell when the batteries are going... The dogs get closer and closer to the barrier and the beeps are quieter.

The transmitter batteries last nearly 6 months if it's not placed on the higher output settings. The receiver (collar) battery duration is totally dependant on how often the dog challenges the restricted zone. My transmitter batteries are lasting about 3-4 months at this point.

It depends on the behavior of your pet. The transmitters (or pucks as I call them) usually last 4 - 6 months. I use rechargeables with those. The collar, if your pet likes to constantly challenge the puck, 1 month. If your pet leaves the puck alone, 6 months. When your pet lays around near a puck, time for a battery change.The key thing about puck (or Paws Away) usage is this: The beeping does not require much energy, the stimulation however does. Moving the pucks around (which I sometimes have to do) can generate stimulation as they get used to the "do not enter" this zone. It depends on the behavior of your pet.

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

The battery lasted about as long as most. I bought a back up, so I never worried.

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.

My batteries like these (I have a few) have lasted well over a year. Average with daily use has been a year and half and more.

I use them alot , most of the day in fact, and I can get around 5 hours (talking on Skype and listening to Youtube videos) of use out of them before they need recharged. They take about a hour to recharge ( I just use them with the charging cord plugged in)

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.

I have three Batteries and keep them recharged while I use one of them for a work most of the time. I guess a couple of hours to recharge one. I notice I have to charge them more frequently lately. I wonder they are getting less powerful.

The rechargeable batteries in mine last about 8 hours on a full charge with the radio playing. When I use alkaline batteries I get about 20 hours of play time.

I haven't had much luck with batteries lasting. the last longer if you take them out when not using, but that's a pain. its a great unit and I use it at work but on electric.

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.

Wel we don't run the lights all the time so I only know that I have only changed the batteries once so far. We run them when we have guests over. It appears that they last pretty long though.

These are not designed for continuous lighting, but for intermittent and for a couple hours at a time. If left on continuously, the batteries will last around 25 to 30 hours. These had been considered for a commercial display case but were turned down due to having to change the batteries every 3 days.

I haven't timed them. I use it for about 10 or 15 minutes per day, and I have to change the batteries on average once a month.

In my experience, a fully charged battery lasts 7 to 8 hours, depending on how loud you have it and how far from the base station it is.
