Senseview Duo FAQ

How long do the rechargeable batteries last before they need to be replaced?
This is an impossible question to answer, as it depends upon many variables. For example, how often does the unit get used? Does the consumer let the battery drain all the way, or do they let it charge constantly? The battery is a lithium polymer battery. For more information on lithium polymer batteries, you can visit the following website: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lithium_polymer_battery. Essentially, asking this question is like asking how long your cell phone battery will last, or how long your car battery will last. In general, the battery will most likely last at least one year, and probably longer before it needs replaced. Again, this is highly variable and results will vary.
