My next door neighbor put out a bunch of LED tealights along their walkway on Christmas Day and left them turned on. They were inside little cardboard enclosures. After Christmas, they were left turned on and eventually they got blown around and buried in snow. Now, a whole month later, I found one in my yard, still turned on! A month is 720 hours.
I brought it inside and tested the battery, which is a 3V lithium CR2032 and it actually has plenty of juice left in it.
Then I looked up tea lights on google that use these batteries and the specifications always say they last for 100 hours. So why is this particular one still going after a month? Does cold weather make it last longer?
