What batteries? You are talking about the heated foot mat? There are no batteries.

Warms up in less than 5 minutes and mine doesn't have any batteries. Plug only.

No batteries required. Takes about 10 minutes to reach preset temp. Works for me.

Starts heating immediately, but I assume takes 15 minutes to fully warm up. There are no batteries in mine.

About 3-5 minutes for initial heating. It will be done reheating by the time the fog runs out if you use it continuously on. I used it outside for Halloween and there was always fog out

10 seconds or so····Then the element gets to cold to work···Then you have to wait a few minutes until it heats up. I used it at Halloween and was happy with it.

The boys get about an hour to an hour and a half run time. I have had issues where I thought something was wrong with the battery and it was the forward reverse switch going bad. I had to disassemble and file to remove pitting from the points. Also my connector plug for the battery seems to beg eying warm according to the discoloration and deformity of the plug.Hope this helpsRobby

I use it to heat buckets of water for tiling installations when it is cold. It takes about 10 minutes to heat up. I also put it in my wet saw to keep water warm and it is awesome even gets to hot I have to unplug it for awhile. Hope this helps.

Maybe 15-25 minutes. I have 220 and heats up to that in less than 5 minutes. Not real sure but its a good heater for money and you can use differ fuels.

You should really ask the company, but in my opinion,it is for a couple of hours. If you leave any household machine on for days, it will burn up. See other reviews on how these machines failed.

1-2 hours, depending on the condition of the battery. The heater draws over 7-amps. You really need a much bigger battery. Deeply discharging the battery frequently will significantly shorten the battery's lifespan. We use ours in a motorhome to preheat the bed in the evening, running it for about a 1/2 hour. It draws too much power to leave it on overnight unless we have shore power.

It should be heated up by 48 hours. Your heater is probably faulty. Mine always ended up running hotter than set temperature, and I had to switch mine to another heater.

It takes about 10 to 15 minutes maybe 20 depending on the temperature you want to heat up then let the sweat begin. I hope that helps. Thanks

If the heating pad does not have a built in thermostat (and I'm guessing it may not because I do not see any module protruding from it), the heating pad will continue to heat the battery. This would not be desired when it warms up. I would only use the heating pad when when the weather is very frigid. I would use the pad only when the outside temperature goes below 10 degrees F. Those are the days when you need it. Otherwise you might cook your battery.

I bought it as a gift for a friend. I am not sure about batteries (must need a big one to make steam) but it is quite easy to use.

I let it run through the 15 min. cycle with heat. It will start right back up if I want it to. Honestly, 15 min. is enough....this thing isn't for pansies. ;)
