How long do the batteries last on this? Any experiences?

I have had mine for a half-a-year now and I can say I've only replaced the battery once and right now it's reporting a 60% charge. I use the keyboard for hours-on-end daily. Highly recommended wireless keyboard if you're looking for long-lasting battery life. I also highly recommend the Logitech v470 mouse paired with this keyboard for its equally long-lasting battery life.

It takes 4 AA batteries. I didn't use rechargeable batteries, so I don't know how long they would last. I did put some fresh batteries in my daughters about a week ago and it's still going strong. She uses it for about an hour at a time and usually every other day. I have found that it doesn't "eat" batteries.

My experience is that they do not last "a year", but it's only 4 AAs. My rechargeable ones don't seem to last as long. If battery life is a concern, why not just plug it in?

Batteries last pretty long on this thing. We put Duracell batteries in it and it lasted us a full weekend of camping using it most of the day

It says on the box that the batteries last up to 55 hours. I would assume that is on the low setting. Other than that, I am not sure how long they would last on high. My daughter uses one of these for weekend camping trips and says they last a good while, but she has never paid attention to how long in hours.

I bought this for my son about 5 years ago I believe and he used it several time and still have it and it still works. It is pretty cool. But to answer the battery life, I do not believe it uses the batteries like you might think. It is easy on the batteries.

Tough to answer. Length of time in use and volume will impact batteries. I often use it 4 hours a day and they last about two weeks.

I have run it for about 6 hrs before on a fully charged battery. Sometimes 7 depending on how often it is used. I keep a spare fully chargedbattery on hand just in case.

I have had mine for a couple of months, no problems so far, I use it one a day, in the morning for my coffee. Still on my first set of batteries, I think it's worth the money you pay for it..,

The batteries with intermittent use, lasted about 4 1/2 to five months. It may have been a bit longer, but no more then 6 months. I don't have any complaints. The screen shows enough detail with a night light outside.

I have only used it a few times outside and in the attic for a total of 2 hours. Still working great. I have not had to change batteries. I bought two of these including one for my father. We both like the adjustable beam. Interestingly, when tightly focused the light projects a rectangular shape. We are pleased with the item and think it is priced fairly. Exceeds our expectations. Hope this helps.

the battery life lasts approx 4-8 hours...sometimes longer if not used continuously.

Seems quite lasting. Mine still works well after 6mth. But I'm not a frequent user though

I have been amazed at how long the battery actually lasts. I use mine for Children's Church once a week on Sundays. I can go over a month before I have to charge it again.

My wife bought this for me for a trip out to Big Bend last Xmas. I still have the same batteries in it and have used it since Dec 26, 2014. on a few trips and power outages.I'm going to say 150 Low and more than 16 hours on High.

We only used ours a few times and never really used it on battery. It didn't last long and I would suggest looking at a different brand/model. This one is inexpensive and cheaply made.

I have used it successfully for three months, approximately running 15 minutes a weekend and the D batteries are still running. Will change them out once a year for sure.
