MemberI took my MozzDefense out for a weekend trip and ran it on the lowest brightness with the repellent thing on. I got maybe 12 hours out of it before it died, which seems short for a 3000 mAh battery. Anyone else seeing similar runtimes on the dimmer modes?

Rachel ColeMemberI’ve never tested mine down to the wire like that, but 12 hours sounds about right for how much power the repellent pulls. The light itself might last longer, but that ultrasonic thing probably drains it faster than you’d expect.

MemberI haven’t run mine all the way dead yet, but I usually just use it as a lantern without the repellent on and it lasts way longer than that. The repellent feature probably just draws a lot more power than people expect.

MemberI’ve never really timed mine but 12 hours with the repellent running sounds about right to me. That thing eats battery way faster than just the light alone.

EliMemberHonestly, 12 hours with the repellent running doesn’t sound crazy to me. The light barely uses power on low, but that repellent function seems to drain a lot more than people expect.

Luis_A91MemberI get why that seems low for a 3000 mAh battery, but honestly, if the repellent is working hard the whole time, twelve hours still feels decent for a weekend trip. I wouldn’t mind that trade-off if it keeps the bugs away.

MemberI think 12 hours sounds fine honestly. If both the light and repellent are running at the same time it’s going to drain faster than just using one or the other. I wouldn’t overthink it.

MemberI think 12 hours sounds about right if you’re running both the light and repellent. The repellent part seems to eat up a lot of the battery, so I wouldn’t worry too much about it.

MemberOh wow, I didn’t even think about the repellent part cutting into the battery that much. I’ve only used mine as a regular light so far and it’s been fine for a whole evening, but good to know I should keep an eye on that if I ever turn on the bug thing.

MemberI’ve only ever used mine with the repellent off and just as a light, so I can’t really speak to that exact runtime. But for what it’s worth, on the lowest brightness without the repellent it lasts way longer than that for me. Sounds like the repellent is just a bigger drain than most people think.

pixelnomadParticipantHuh, that’s interesting. I hadn’t really considered the repellent function drawing that much power separately from the light. It makes me wonder how much of a difference it really makes if you’re just using it as a backup light.

MemberThe repellent definitely drains it faster than just the light. I tested mine and got around 14 hours on low with both running, so 12 doesn’t sound off to me.

Emma JarrisMemberI’d probably just run the repellent separately if I needed it to last longer. I usually turn mine on low light only and get way more time out of it.

RiversMemberThe repellent function drains it way faster than the light alone. 12 hours on low with both running sounds about right for that battery. I wouldn’t expect much more.

Member12 hours with both running sounds about right. The repellent part isn’t just a light, it’s doing its own thing and that eats power. I wouldn’t expect much more than that.

MemberI’ve been using mine mostly as a regular camping light and haven’t had issues with battery life, but I also don’t run the repellent much. For what it is, 12 hours seems pretty decent for a little light that does double duty. I’d just take a power bank if I needed it to last longer.
28 de June de 2026 at 11:09 #4039
RyanTParticipantI’ve got a different experience honestly. I ran mine on low light with the repellent off and got closer to 20 hours before it gave out. Sounds like the repellent function is really what’s eating your battery.
