I’m not too far behind you on my original pair of Ultimate Lithiums. ![Screenshot_20200210-160412](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/sws/original/2X/6/6b5bb652c9992af6adfca3a328ac3b673e369ff2.jpeg) ---

Do I win a free Tempest? 😃 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/sws/original/2X/0/038423536e3c8a7a92d312d6b767cdb62126393e.png) By the way, there was another thread about this in October, and assuming that station is still online without any reboots, I suspect that is the winner as it was just beating me back then: > [@AIR: 2yrs on 4AAs...and still ticking](https://community.tempest.earth/t/air-2yrs-on-4aas-and-still-ticking/4503): > > This AIR device has been reporting data every 1min for 2 years straight on the same set of 4 AA batteries. Possible in large part due to specific hardware and software engineering to reduce power consumption to a whisper. partying_face [34%20PM] This station: [https://smartweather.weatherflow.com/station/1934](https://smartweather.weatherflow.com/station/1934) ---

> [@eric](#): > > @vreihen: you still have your bunny ??? AR-00004424 (first day field test Air) finally kicked off last July, after 2+ years (and several convulsions as sensors failed) on the [infamous] WF blue batteries (IIRC). My production Air out of the first batch is coming up on two years with the bunny batteries: ![Screen Shot 2020-02-10 at 6.22.44 PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/sws/original/2X/0/0171c5178ba93357c854007213363007bc788356.png) The Air mentioned by @dave above is at 844 days and 2.68 volts, so it may not be with us for much longer… ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/sws/original/2X/a/aa41909b048b2a68d7a5845163ca4d58a424bd3d.jpg) ---

Still on first set I messed around and reset it but I looked at graphs and see first day online figured time within 1-2 hrs 538 days, 0 hours, 10 minutes and 30 second 3.4 volt it was 3.45 earlier today when it was 40 degree and sun shining 31 degrees right now. Also been through approx 10-15 single digit days and 5 + sub zero days Energizer Lithium . That’s really efficient coding and hardware optimization 🤔 Reminds me of the old emulator program on a floppy SLe44 Let’s here from one of those 30 below people and see how long there’s went ---

after more than a year I dig this topic from the cave wonder how many years I’ll have to wait to see those batteries deplete … 😂 maybe they will survive me ?? @vreihen , your’s still in the lead ?? ![Screenshot 2021-01-30 at 14.23.00](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/sws/original/2X/d/d32ea41ab4227aa982a3fcee2ba643af6e57cbba.png) ---

My field test AR-00004424 finally failed over a year ago. The production Air that replaced it is about two months in front of yours right now… ![Screen Shot 2021-01-30 at 8.38.05 AM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/sws/original/2X/0/0893d56ad7adf24404ed1ad179377bd50716e584.png) ---

I wonder if this little fellow will ever run out of energy 🤔 🤣 @vreihen : yours still running ? ![Screenshot 2021-09-18 at 08.47.03](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/sws/original/2X/1/1f96a81ccd5bea8d627f9f63022eec886d13ff4e.png) ---

My longest-running Air finally ran out of bunny battery juice about 4 months ago. The last one running here is at 3.36V and 1127 days… ---

For some reason my longest running AIRs reset their uptime or just rebooted on their own. They aren’t too far behind @vreihen, otherwise. ---

My current longest-running Air that I powered up in August 2018 has been running for 1,200 days as I write this. The batteries are at 3.13V, and the temperature outside is below freezing… ---

AIR on original four AA Energizer Ultimate Lithium batteries. Reporting every minute of every day for 1500+ days and counting. ( Remember way back when y’all didn’t believe when we claimed an AIR could run for 1yr + on a set of AAs ? ) 🙃 Although we think @dave wins hands down with 1490 days and counting with 3.17 volts in the tank. Someone call the Energizer Marketing team! ![Screen Shot 2021-12-01 at 1.48.41 PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/sws/original/2X/f/f67eb731b8b3ef11144822765a3573afd427c9f8.png)
