I don't know. I returned this product when it quit working the first week we had it. While this box was awesome looking it was so disappointing in performance.

My first run lasted over 9 hours. Had a party where I put my Iphone in at 1:00p.m. and it ran with volume at 36/40 untill 10:20P.M. at which I turned it off because the party was over. Batteries did show signs of failure the day after playing it again for about 20min. When i tried to turn the volume pass 15/40 it would turn it self off. Batteries are not an issue with this device compared to most devices these days

Playing time is about 25 minutes, and charging time about 4 hours. I think play time depends on whether you are at full throttle the whole time, and charge time would depend on how far the batteries are depleted.

When fully charged for playing games will last several hours. You can also use it whils unit is pluged in charging.

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.

My daughter uses this a lot. She'll push the buttons over and over again, so it plays for probably close to an hour a day. I have replaced the batteries three times in the past year or so. There is a compartment on the back that you have to unscrew to replace the batteries.

Not sure. I used it on/off for 4 hours. It last longer than my cell phone battery used as the music source.

Hi, Janice. So far I've used it on batteries only once, for about an hour on July 4th, to play patriotic music during a local parade. No problems for that length of time. With an old Panasonic boombox, I learned to remove the batteries if they were going to be unused for a while, to avoid the possibility of leaking battery acid that killed the boombox.

Tough to answer. Length of time in use and volume will impact batteries. I often use it 4 hours a day and they last about two weeks.

For as long as the battery will last. I took a video of a play that lasted over an hour.

Yes, when plugged in it plays until you turn it off. When on battery it plays until you turn it off or the batteries run down.

I've never had the baby unit on batteries. The parent unit has lasted at least 18 hours on a full charge off of a pair of 2000 mAH rechargeable AA batteries.

Battery is supposed to last about 8 hours but can vary depending on volume, etc. I haven't really pushed it that far to see if it will last that long.

Based on a few power outages we've had in this area, when the portable player lost electricity and began using its battery power, the portable player (still working) was fine, so perhaps 6 to 8 hours max (the length of our power outages). We do not use the car-charger at all w/ the portable device so don't know about vehicle usage time. Make sure you set up the player according to the directions so that the player battery gets its full charge before you use it. We love this little player and we do move it from room to room occasionally... but it is generally plugged in to the electrical outlet for watching DVDs for any length of time.

Yes, the stereo will play with just batteries. However, if the batteries die you will lose the saved stations. The player does not have a small battery to store stations incase that happens. Would not recommend this stereo if your placing it in a hard to reach place.

I've had mine about a month now and I've used them for at least 20-30 hours while in the backyard on battery power. The sound is good, the range I am using is about 50 feet with minimal attenuating materials between (walls, doors, etc). I'm not sure how long the batteries will last. You can probably do the calculations based on average current draw and the capacity of C sized cells.

Hi... I have used it for 3-4 hours for a few weeks until I had to change the batteries. I would think if you used it all day long, maybe 3-4 days. I use the batteries often, but mainly plugged in. Love it, sound is great, and would buy again!!!
