The unit itself plugs into a dedicated 20amp GFI outlet. I don't believe I have ever had to change the batteries in the remote. I would say that once a year would be a good guess. Love the unit(s), I have 3. I have had three of the Toto Washlets, which are wonderful but are much (much) more expensive and "fried" during a thunderstorm a couple of years ago. I also have one by Brondell that I would not recommend.

At 3.5 months I realized that the remote had to be much closer to the bidet & frequently had to press buttons more than once. When I first noticed this was about 2 weeks before I changed the battery. This is with heavy use(3 people).

according to use, we use ours often so we change bout every 2 months, but it no hassle. Listen when we are on vacation or a business trip, we look at each other and say "I will be so glad to get home to my bathroom". The best part of my $15,000 bathroom remodel. Dont hesitate BUY IT!

I believe it was after 2 months of constant use. We did not program it and I believe if we had it would have extended the battery life.

I purchased 3 of them around mid October 2013, so it's about 3 months since I used it, it is not showing the need to change the battery

The battery is just for the remote control and lasts for about 3 months. The seat itself needs an outlet to plug into and has no battery.

We have used ours on the timer setting for about 6months before changing the battery.

The battery is just a 9volt EZ to change. I have only used it 6 or 8 times for about 45 to 60 minutes each time and the battery is fine.

There's a low battery warning light pattern when you press the keys (check the manual). You have a long time during this period to change battery before the battery actually dies.

We have had ours over a year and not had to change the battery but a small Phillips is what you would want to use.

My recent experience was: first set fresh batteries - just under one hour, second set fresh batteries - one hour 10 minutes. So, it will vary within a 10-15 minute range.

Do you mean how many years before it needs to be replaced? Or, how long on a given charge? If years, I don't know but it should last longer than any lead acid battery. If you mean on a single charge, I haven't timed it but probably about 30-45 minutes for each battery (there are two).

You need a new battery pack! The battery charge should normally last for at least a week.

I have not had to replace the battery yet. I use it about 30-40 minutes 3-4 times per week. I have had it for about 7-8 to months. I have no complaint on that issue.

I honestly don't know as I haven't had to change it yet. It comes it the battery initially.

There is a little paper strip that you need to remove. It saves battery life until it's ready to be used.

Make sure you wait 15 minutes after using your battery before you charge it. If you charge it right after you use it they won't last long. You have to let them cool down.

A charged battery should power your machine for at least four hours so if your battery is inserted correctly, it should give you at least 4 hrs before charge is needed. If this is not the case, your battery may be defective. Do you see if the computer is actually acknowledging the battery under "power management? Hope this helps..

Been getting about 14-16 months of battery life. Once you start the battery change, the manual states clearly you have a minute to change the batteries without losing any programming. It takes about 15 seconds for the swap-out.

Once it's set, you're good to go. I installed mine well over a year ago. After unplugging to go out on the lake, I just replug it in when I return and it "remembers" the setting. I haven't had to replace a battery in two years.

Funny you should ask! I just got through changing the battery myself! You have to squeeze the two oval buttons on the side very hard and make sure the front and back face the right way. If you're very careful you should get one side button on slightly ahead of the other. Don't force it or it will break and you'll have to ducktape it back on!

It will depend on what MAh batteriess you use and how discharged they are. I normally just put mine in at night, and take them off in the morning.
