How long will this hold a charge in storage?

Not sure yet, although the manual says it starts to degrade after a few months, maybe to 75% or so, and depends on temp and other conditions

The original one I bought was a Christmas gift for my son-in-law.....We only had it a week before the indicator would not show fully charged......He was very happy with it for the week he had it. He charged it once on Christmas day and again probably 5-6 days later after using it to keep an i-phone and 2 i-pads charged.

I have not stored the charger. Since the cell phone battery does not last for long, I use it almost daily. Don't be caught without the charger if you use the cell phone. It recharges easily from a computer or you phone charger.

I didn't use it very often since my Galaxy Note 2's battery can last for my day activities. From the last fully charge of this unit in a week ago, I turned it on yesterday and it still have all 4 lights on.I used Galaxy S3 before, and it can charge the phone 1.5 times before it went dead.Hope this will help.

The longest I waited was 3 days but it is hard to tell as the phones charges started declining after 3 weeks... and I used it almost daily.

As the batteries are Lithium-ion they should retain a charge almost indefinitely. That said, it best not to store Li-ion batteries fully charged (or depleted) for extended periods. Most manufactures recommend a 40-60% charge for extended storage. See: http://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/how_to_prolong_lithium_based_batteries

It appears that it holds a charge at least for 2 weeks but could be longer.

It is pretty good up to several days. We never wait long enough to test but it charged the phone fine. It's still useable with only 2 lights, but it's not so convenient when you on the road.

I have had it charged to full capacity at 100% I did not use it for a week until I needed to again since I was stuck in a rut and the powergen still had 100% charge and was able to charge my phone twice before charging the powergen battery again. I hope this helps but it does hold a good charge and maintains its battery capacity at the charge level that's its left at. I hope this helps you out.

I know if you use for charge, at least can use charge for 5 hours. But if you just put in the box, I really don't know how long can hold. I tried charge not use for one week, it still full.

About 6 hours when in use. It does stay charged when it is off. I have 2 of these SanDisk Sansa Clip and one is older. The older one (about 2 years old) the charge goes down quicker as they age. I am ready to buy a new one. I like to have two.

Not sure. I just charge it and is lasts forever. Don't pay attention to light. Will try and see

The battery should last several years I am hoping. The charge on the battery is more like 5-7 hours depending on what you are running.

We purchased this for our mother to use in a nursing home. She used it everyday for six months before passing. We only charged it twice. I was surprised how long the charge held. Hope this helps

That completely depends on the speed you are running it. If you only run it at full speed, it may last two hours on a charged battery. If you run at the lowest speed, it can last up to 15 hours or so.

I am not sure but I have stored mine for over 2 months and it still worked.

It hard to say but I leave mine on charge the day prior to using for a period of time. I can get about 7hrs playtime.

Not that long! If it's only working when plugged in, something is wrong. It also holds a charge for quite sometime. I can't remember the last time I charged mine (though I only use it sporadically).

It lasts for about 20+ minutes, but I don't use it for long except for short sessions. Please note, it's best when the battery is allowed to drained and then recharged to prevent memory effect. Most folks set it back in the charger which is the worse thing you can do.

I cannot honestly say... At LEAST 2-3 days... I haven't let it go any longer than that, but there was always lots of remaining charge...

Not completely positive, but more than six to eight hours. I find it is not a quick charge at any given time, but your given adequate warning that it needs a charge and can plug it in overnight so it's ready when you do need it.

So far after I charge the battery it will last about 90 minutes. I have not had any issues with the battery.

It will hold a charge for about 8 hours. I used it to play two days in a row without charging it between rounds. It ran out of charge about 2/3 of the way through the second 18.

I'm routinely using it for 3 to 4 hours and still has a charge. Guess I could probably go 4 1/2 to 5 hours. Definitely was a good purchase - at least for how I use my computer.

Sorry I can't really answer that as I have never really used the recorder long enough to see how long a charge will last.
