I've had an AcuRite 01540M (actually an older, similar model to this) for maybe seven or eight years. It's mounted on a pole in the open about 125 ft. away from my house. I think I changed the batteries once and looked at them last year again. They were fully charged. The solar panel which powers the fan also assists the batteries. I paid about $60 at Costco when they had them on sale. The new, similar models seem to cost around $120. If it died, I'd get a replacement.
