Several years ago I was shopping for new exterior lights when I discovered the 'self-adjusting wall switch timers' My new lights could be wired to these switches, and they would then be on timers. Unfortunately after a couple of years the timer switch I had in my garage failed.

The electrician blamed it on the cold in the unheated garage so I replaced it with a standard switch. Now a second switch has apparently failed and this switch is located in my house, where it never gets below 60 degrees, so cold shouldn't be a factor. So I am wondering are these types of switches prone to fail after a few years? I don't want to invest in new ones if I will just have to replace them every few years. Thanks for any info! Thanks for the replies.
There are no batteries, jx brown. It is an intermatic self adjusting wall switch timer.
Has a small display which shows the time you have set it to. And buttons with which to set the off/on times. You turn it off and on with a square button which you would click one end up and one down depending on what you were doing.
The timer part was working fine until the other night when the light did not come on and when I tried to manually turn it on nothing happened. I changed the light bulbs a few months ago so I am guessing they aren't the problem. First off, I am quite familiar with that timer and IT DOES HAVE A BATTERY to run the clock/timer part of it. The real issue is which model of the timer do you have. That one comes in two flavors.
One is rated for incandescent bulbs only (semiconductor switch of some sort) and the other has a small motorized switch that can deal with a variety of lighten or even small motors. If you use the incandescent only version with lighting that's not purely resistive (i.e., a regular filament bulb or halogen) you can expect it to fail (also it makes CF bulbs flicker.been there / done that).
