Q: What affects battery life in my Amazing Flameless Candles?
A: There are 3 main things that affect battery life in LED candles. The first is the quality of battery. You will see much longer battery life from a Duracell® battery then you will from a cheaper brand of battery. The second has to do with the features on your candle. If you turn your candles on and off manually using the switch on the bottom, you can expect to see longer battery life. Use of the timer mode or universal remote will shorten battery life slightly. Lastly temperature plays an important role in the life of batteries. Batteries exposed to prolonged heat will have diminished battery life.
