How often do you have to recharge these?

I don't know yet. I have them in my house in Florida and I won't be back until next week to see how they are doing. My daughter was there and between a dehumidifier and these, she says the smell in the house is gone.

I suppose it depends on the nature of the place in which you keep the item. In my basement I find that I take it out to bright sunshine about once every two to three years.

It really does depend on your circumstances. Anywhere from once a month to once every six months or so. My personal method of checking it is to take it outside and smell it. If you can smell the odors you are trying to get rid of, recharge it.

They last quite a long time, actually. I use NiMH rechargeables, and it's usually several months between recharges.

They are rechargeable. I haven't had to replace any yet...they last a long time with good sun/light during the day!

I have not actually timed it do be certain, but I walk with them and figure they stay charged for a minimum of 2 hours. Normally me walks are 30 minutes a day and I only normally charge them once a week.

I have had no problem with mine they still work or recharge well and hold a charge when not in use. I really haven't recharged them enough to know how long "Normal" would be.

I believe the box says about 1,000 hours and then you need to toss them in the washing machine to "recharge" them.

Leon, I've had mine go for 3 full days with intermittent use maybe 3 to 4 hours a day, before I've become afraid they are going to be dead and charged them.

These are rechargeable and I put them in the charger every night. They last about a year.

You need to recharge them until the little green light on the charger goes out. If you use them constantly (easy to do with a trimmer) they only seem to run a short time--20 minutes or so. I haven't tested my theory, but it seems that if I give them frequent, short breaks they seem to perform longer. (I use them in trimmer, chain saws, and drill.) Of course, if they're old they may just be worn out.

I haven't used them enough to know; they tend to sit around so the charge does deplete over time. However, they recharge quickly so I am not concerned if they last long or not as I have 2. Pat

I've had mine about 4 years and am still using them. they seem to not hold charges as long. And I am thinking about replacing them. I use mine a lot as I have 3 appliances, 2 saws and a weed trimmer. I keep them plugged in all week and use them pretty heavy most weekends.

Forever. I've had two (one was recalled) and I've NEVER been able to successfully recharge them. A great idea, but it just doesn't charge.

3 hours max. Mine usually take 2 hours to recharge, but I don't run them all the way down.

Mine stays charged for longer, but I don't use it often enough to know how to charge them.

I don't leave them on all the time but at least 20 to 30 hrs prob more. They are a common size flat battery easy to replace and has like 3 settings of flashing and one solid. My batteries havent ran out yet.

I recharge mine and they seem to work fine. I usually only recharge them 2 or 3 times then I toss them.
