I bought mine used with hours on the battery, however.

1. Approx 8 hours on the rechargeable battery.
2. Alkaline batteries can give you around 12 hours.
3. I buy the cheapest batteries for my headphones and they last several hunts, around 10 hours or so.

My rechargeable battery is about dead and I was getting 4 hours per charge.

I recently purchased the RnB lithium ion battery in the 2900 mah. I have hunted 6 hours on it and my battery level is still completely full and I have 11.5 volts+. I ran much of this time on single frequency 2.5 with tx boost on, this setting eats the power down quick on the stock battery pack. Spring for the lithium pack if you have the money and you will be happy.

The wireless headphones:

I purchased the enloop rechargeable batteries from costco on sale for about $20.00 (I was getting about 10 to 12 hours of use with the alkaline copper top batteries). The enloop kit comes with 8 AA rechargeable batteries, 2 AAA rechargeable batteries and a charger that charges 4 batteries at once. It takes about 6 to 8 hours to charge them and they last as long or longer than the Alkaline batteries.
