  3. How long will my battery last?

    4. Batteries may last anywhere from 3 to 21 days.Batteries will last longer if you open the battery door or remove the battery when not in use. Battery life is affected by:

    • The size of the battery,
    • The number of hours worn each day.
    • Do not remove the air activation sticker from the battery until you actually change the battery. Once the sticker is removed it will start to drain the battery.
    • Wireless accessories will often drain the battery more when being used – remote controls or devices used for TV, mobile phone.
