    Does it contain a rechargable battery then? If so, how long will it last before you have to er.. replace the battery

    We have something similar to these at work for sale and use 1 for controlling the aircon in the office.

    They are probably best given a little twist on the ol' dial when you pick up the device and need to use it but it has been known to go for weeks without a charging up
