How long do the batteries last? For instance, how many times can I trim paws and face on one set of batteries?

I guess it all depends on how many pets and how much you trim.I have 6 dogs of my own and 6 rescues and have used the trimmer for a few hours on a deep grooming.After about an hour or more w/"constant"use, you will need to change batteries.If you use high quality ones.I love this trimmer and would not be caught without it.This is my second one in 21/2 years.I am pretty hard on the trimmer with all the long hair, so I think it should last longer for others with less pets.Great for getting Knot's out and particularly on cats, which are much harder to groom because of their skin being so thin.This is a safer way to trim cat fur too . Hope this answers your question.

You are very welcome! In opinion. .it is well worth it.On my longer haired dogs my trimmer takes a beating.it has gotten put knots & tangles.In fact, my pld one would have been stillcworking if it were not that my older dog Charlottle gets so messy, and had a really bad tangle that took awhile and it finally gave our after a year and a half.Like I said, I am rough on the trimmer.It should last aclot longer.Tge second one I have is over a year and still in great condition.It is lightweight& fits easy in your hand.If the blade gets too warm...stop ut for a few mins.and wipediwn w/a cotton ball (not soaked) of alcohol. I hope they never stop making this trimmer! :) You are very welcome!

It usually lasts me 15 minutes of continual use, I have the whole set, edger, blower and hedge trimmer, so I have three batteries. More than enough to edge, trim and blow. My yard is 90 x 150 if that helps

It only uses one at a time. Battery lasts a long time if you remove hearing aid from your ear and turn it turn it off at bedtime. Cheapest way to buy batteries is shop Amazon and buy in larger quantity..

I usually change the batteries every two months....or, you can gauge it if you start seeing cats around. It works well where we live.....there are at least 6 cats that keep their distance from our patio rail.

If you can last as long as this battery can, you will have gotten a lot of trimming done! I have worked with it for over two and a half hours. Then I will go inside to cool off. When I rest, I plug it into the charger. It picks up a good continuing charge in an hour. I have run the battery completely, twice in the one year that I have used it. It never slowly looses power. When the battery charge is gone, the trimmer stops immediately. On some models, there is a little indicator light that will warn you when you are getting low on battery. Direct answer to recharging completely: probably overnight. Recharging to use again that same day: probably an hour.

If you mean continuous usage I have had one last about 8 hours. The great thing though is the unit has another battery charging in the base and you can easily slip one out of the unit and slip the charged battery into it from the base unit in about 30 seconds or less. The battery re-charges in the base in an hour or so and you are ready to go again. This unit has such a better design than TV Ears I could not believe I wasted my money on TV Ears for 4 years before I found these.

I am not sure what you mean ... if you are asking how long is the battery life - it is about 10-15 min. for each charge. It is good to have 2 batteries charged at all times to have at least 20-30 min. use of the vacuum. I just love this little tool. I have a cat who is a regular "hair factory" and by using this daily, it helps keep it under control. For a lightweight little machine, it really picks up hair very well. I am pleased .. but the battery life is a drawback. The battery just doesn't last long. I hope this helps.

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.

The hair trimmer takes 2 AA batteries and the nose/ear trimmer takes 1 AA battery. These are non-rechargable. Hope this helps.

I bought it in July 2014 and have not replaced the batteries yet. But I do not run it all the time just occasionally. I have a water barrel with few goldfish in it and just run it for about 30 min. at a time, maybe twice a week. Hope that helps some.

No the clippers themselves are not but you could use chargeable batteries. I use the smaller one on my Yorkies face and never changed the batteries yet. They are much nicer especially for my Yorkies. My 14 year old never minded me trimming him and he started acting real nervous whenever I got the clippers out. He does much better with these two instead of the larger one I always used. Hope this helps.

I think I did a three hour gig on batteries with no problem. Since then I just run it on the transformers to be safe. But I suspect they will go for much longer on batteries than I tried.

Most batteries last 4-5 days depending on how many hours you have them on each day.

You will probably trim one dog with one charge. Have your other battery charging so you can switch quickly. It will depend on the amount of hair on the dog and the length of time it takes you to trim. Hope this helps.

I have had mine close to 8-10 years, and have changed the batteries 3 times at most. I only do small areas though like the upper lip. Are you doing multiple areas at once or larger areas like your legs? I haven't had the same problem with mine. Can you exchange yours? :/

Batteries will last 20 to 40 hours depending on factors such as quality of batteries and if headphones are being used to save power.

They were for me! One of my complaints about the standard batteries that came with trimmer was the short life. I got MAYBE 15-20 minutes trimming time. These Firestorm Batteries now give me about 30-35 minutes each (I bought 2) Not a LOT more, but enough for me to finish my particular yard work.
