how long does each set of the batteries last?

it depends on how long you play it, but most of the time the batteries last for about 2 to 3 weeks. It also depends on the type of batteries you buy.

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!

On a fresh set of 2-AAA alkaline batteries, I managed to get close to 50 hours of listening time, over the course of about 2 months. Completely blew me away. Before that, I tried a set of the more-expensive Energizer Lithium batteries, and I only got about 25 hours out of them.

I think it also depends on how tight is the fit between bolt and door. If the motor has to push hard, batteries will drain quickly. My first set lasted about four months. Second one is about three weeks into it and shows 100%.

the batteries should take no longer than 1 hour or so. the drill set came with drill bits and a screwdriver bit set

They last very long, I bought this in July 2013, and I just recharged the D batteries at the beginning of December 2013. The batteries weren't even drained, I just wanted to make sure it wouldn't die before I went on vacation.

Well we have had them for almost 2 weeks and one has never been turned off and is still going strong. We haven't used them as much as we thought though. So even though the batteries have not died with it being on I still wouldn't be able to tell you how long they last if you're using them consistently. Overall I would say they conserve the batteries well.

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've got this same set on my bike and I use rechargeable batteries in mine. They usually last about a month to a month 1/2 before having to be recharged. I've been using the same batteries since I got this set of lights about 4 years ago.

Each of the hand sets has a base that need to be plugged in. The battery on the phones lasts for a long time. I had it off the charger for 4-5 days and with a few calls each day I still have 1/2 the battery life left.

We bought one set of these and a year later one stopped working. We bought another set and one stopped working about 6 months later. I don't think it's the batteries though I thought that might be the issue at first. I think it's just the product and how it's made.

It depends on your settings. If you have motion activated and long record times it will be shorter. I get 12-18 months on a set. Also I buy the batteries in bulk and they are surprisingly cheap. Never buy them retail. They have very long storage life.

Approximately 8 and sometimes 10 hours if I leave them on and if I buy really good batteries. They are easy to turn off and on to save battery life and easy to change the batteries

I have had mine for 10 months now and my husband tested the batteries a couple of weeks ago. They still tested pretty strong so my guess would be something in excess of 18 months.

I just change the batteries and don't bother with the other stuff. batteries last anywhere from 2 weeks to 3+ weeks depending on how much I use it.

The rechargeable batteries last about 8 hours of continuous play. They are great for travel. Regular AA batteries might last 3-4 hrs of continuous play.

The batteries so far have lasted for 7 to 8 showers. Not long ones and I did not change the batteries yet since I bought it.
