Review on 6FT 96 LED Battery Operated Eucalyptus Garland With Timer - Perfect For Spring Wedding Backdrop, Arch Wall Decor! by Monica Russell

And eats batteries for breakfast! On its 6-hour timed setting, the batteries last about 3 days before dimming to obscurity. That’s not a curse if you invest in rechargeable AA cells and a decent charger. The photo shows the branch on the 3rd morning. Blow it up to reveal the weak glow which will be restored to full brilliance with fresh batteries as in the 2nd photo. (Of course, every time you replace the batteries, you must also reset the timer at the start of its intended duration.)ADDENDUM: since it uses 3 AA cells, you must find a charger that handles an odd number of rechargeable batteries. The cheapest such only charge batteries in pairs.FURTHER THOUGHTS: I’ve since obtained Li ion rechargeable AA batteries (EBL) and associated charger. They have twice the energy density as NiMH batteries, and the fairy lights glow brightly for (unsurprisingly) twice as long! So I’d recommend using those in this decoration.IN CONCLUSION: After several years, all 48 LED bulbs are still glowing brightly (with fresh batteries, of course) as seen in the 3rd photo (with the Flying Horse of Ganzu deco). Indeed it is as if you’re burning 48 flameless candles that this branch consumes batteries so…so cut it some slack. (It’s longevity may be due to hauling it out only for the holidays, but we like it so much that we have recently taken to using it year round in our morning-coffee-by-the-fireplace ritual.)
