Since it's 100% battery operated, how long between battery changes when used every night? I don't want to start going through batteries like crazy.

i've been using it for 2 months now (about 40 minutes every nigth) and no battery change so far.

I don't recall ever replacing the batteries in either of my kids owl lights. They use them every night and they have had them for months. Also the owl doesn't get hot or even warm to the touch. They have been dropped on more than one occasion and have never broke.

There is no need to turn it off. I've had this for two years and batteries are still working. It goes into a low draw sleep mode. Don't worry about it.

My guess would be just overuse. We have had our bar for around 2 or 3 years and have never changed batteries but then again most of the time we just leave the bar on when we shut the tv off.

We change batteries probably once a month. Thats the only disappointing thing. Although they are supposed to be good for 3200 times, the motion sensors check you when you walk through the kitchen. I wish they would only come on when you were working at the countertop.

My daughter uses it for school every day so she charges it every night. We've never run the battery all the way down. She's pretty diligent about turning it off when she's not using it. I believe the keyboard will go into sleep mode after a period of inactivity.

I keep mine in the "AUTO" position. When in the holder during daylight hours it remains off, in the dark the "Night Lite" stays on unless there is a light on in the room. At any time, day or night if I grab it out of the holder the light is a constant "ON". When in hand I will turn the control to on or off depending on what I need. When it goes back in the holder I put it back to "AUTO". This question got me wondering so I went around the house and checked them all, they are all working properly. I don't see a way to replace the battery, I'll look into that.

I have not actually "test" how long a full changed battery can last. But after I used it for nightly walk several times a week ( not on for all the walk, only a few minutes per walk, but when it's on it is with full brightness ) about three months later I found the brightness is weakening. I know it is not a very scientific way of "testing", but that's what I know about the battery. It is decent but not great as far as battery usage goes. Hope it helps.

I've had this remote for over two years. I saw the light and went the rechargeable route. I can usually go 7-8 weeks between battery changes. If you use the backlight a lot it seems to eat batteries faster. I do know if you have one bad or low battery it will tell you to change batteries quicker. Make sure that all four batteries are fresh.

I use rechargeable batteries and I typically leave the mouse switched on all of the time and let it sleep on its own when inactive. I have a number of devices with rechargeable AAAs so I always have some AAAs ready and fully charged. I have one Toshiba mouse on each of two computers that I use a lot. I would say that the rechargeable batteries go a couple of months per charge. I will keep closer track on my next battery changes to give you a more precise estimate. Jim

My first battery change was about two months in, and that's with heavy use and the screen/button illumination always on. I turned off the auto-on settings and stretched it out a couple more months. Of course, I use it constantly throughout the day and evening.

I'm not entirely sure on that. But I've been using mine for a 3-4 months and haven't replace the batteries once. I use it on the go, so I turn mine off between uses, but I have forgotten to turn it off from time to time meaning it's on for 24 hours or so. Still have not needed new batteries though. Hope this information is useful.

low battery. batteries drain fast if you leave it on all night. better to use timer and it saves the batteries over time.

I've usually charged mine over night, swapping batteries every few days. It seems to me that length of time to full charge would be related to how far the battery has been depleated.

not sure. I think I used it a little bit and then charged it fully. I use it till it gets low and then charge over night. In other words, don't put on a charge every night. I like so far.....hope that helps.

Have had ours for 5 months. Leave it on all day and sometimes all night too. No problems so far.

We use it every time we turn on the power switch. We use Med humidity and 4 Hour setting. Remove batteries and put in another place and Don't use the battery tester as this uses up your battery power and can cut a day off of their usage. If you wear aids you know how many days you get before they go out anyway. We like this machine and have had no trouble with it. Hope this helps you.

For me batteries last about 2 weeks (sucks them dry very quickly). This is the type of mouse you really need to turn off after using it, something I always forget to do. I don't think it has a sleep mode, the bluetrack light is always on, even after hours of being idle, this probably contributes to the short battery life. If it wasn't for the battery life, this mouse would be very good. For now, i'm stuck changing the batteries out constantly, give the logitech touch mouse a look!
