Hi, Catharine.
It depends upon how you are using the Book Port. If you're just using it
to read Daisy books or other texts, i.e., if you're just using the
DoubleTalk synthesizer, it should last as long as the docs say -- two
weeks or so of reading several hours a day. However, if you're playing
music, reading RFB&D books or the experimental NLS magazines, all of
which are digital talking books, battery life goes down considerably --
like by about half. Also, if your batteries show twenty percent or less,
you may not get very much dtb playing time whereas you'll get another
day or two out of the DoubleTalk.

changing them every day or two.
