Blink · Answer

Blink cameras can last for up to Two Years* on a single pair of non-rechargeable AA Lithium batteries, this is defined as 40,000 seconds of Motion Clips and Live View.  This is the average use for the majority of Blink camera systems.
Here are a few things that can affect battery life:
Using Alkaline or re-chargeable batteries. (We DO NOT recommend this)
Slow internet connection speeds
Extreme temperatures
Weak signal strength from a camera to the Wi-fi
Weak signal strength to the Sync Module
DO NOT use AA "Lithium Ion" (Li-Ion) batteries as these may cause issues with your camera. Blink camera batteries should be replaced by Energizer Ultimate 1.5v Lithium AA batteries or the equivalent.
* A new set of AA non-rechargeable Lithium batteries should last for a total of 40,000 seconds of video recording. Ten, 5-second video events per day is considered typical use when calculating the Two Year estimate.
