SS advertises the base station battery as 24 hour backup. I've never had an outage that lasted more than a few minutes so I can't say for sure.

AA Alkaline batteries (4 each):

Keychain Remote: Needs replacement of entire remote from Simplisafe, battery not replaceable, call SS to get replacement.

I was having issues with my old system and upgraded to the new system in a rush. I hated going to work without everything working and the hours at the hospital have been crazy.

Thank you. I'm just working the job I singed up for. It's no different than when I was 18 and running into burning buildings for fun when I was on a volunteer fire department.

In the 60 seconds I had the base station in my hand I did not see where you could easily change the batteries.
I think there newer system has only been out for 1 or 2 years. My old system ran great for 7 years.

Note that I did test the no-name rechargeables which advertised milli amp hours much higher than normal, and in every case, they did not give a longer run time than quality batteries with a "normal" MAh rating, and they tended to die quickly to boot. Not in the SS base, but in more standard uses which are used for a while then recharged.
