How long does it hold a full charge for before it starts to lose power? How long does it take to charge fully?

we keep flashlight on window sill on west side and it always has a good charge. We have not used it enough to run down the battery. I have given 5 of these as gifts and all seem so pleased with them.

A full charge in direct sunlight takes 8 hours. Flashlight mode lasts for about 2.5 hours. Lantern mode lasts for about 1.5 hours. Emergency mode lasts for about 8 hours.

At least two weeks. I once charged it fully, unplugged it, put it in my backpack, and did not use it for about two weeks, and it seemed to have maintained its full charge even after that whole time not being used. Just remember not to have anything plugged into the USB port when it's not in use, otherwise it will drain all of its power by itself (keep it unplugged unless you want to charge your device).

I'd say it fully charges within 30 minutes. I haven't timed it though. When I use it it is only on for about 10 minutes and I had to recharge after about 4-5 days. The button to turn it on and off can be very difficult. Sometimes it is easy and comes right on and other times I have to keep trying.

I didn't charge mine before use. Upon receiving my battery it had about 60% charge. To fully charge the battery takes approximately 2 hrs.

When we first got it ours did the same thing it just needed a full charge, not sure how long that would be because after it kept doing this same thing to me I basically just left it charging for two days. Though it doesn't really seem to have a long battery life to begin with. If that doesn't help I'm not sure, but it does take a long time to charge and without a full charge it goes dead very fast. Hope that helps.

The instructions say 90 minutes but I reach a full charge in less time. I don't wait until it is totally run down though. I heard that running it fully down is not good for it. I've been totally satisfied with it.

For me it took about 2-3 hours. The first full charge may take a bit longer. Also depends on your charger, and the settings at which you charge your battery.

When the unit is new, 3 hours on a full battery. The older the unit gets, the more that time declines. After about a year, it would barely hold a charge. I'm not sure if it is the battery/charger/unit itself. We replace the charger every 6 months and it gives us about 2.5 hours, and declines over time.

I always charge it a full day before using it, so I'm not exactly sure. The charge lasts for my full yard....a small row home sized yard....front and back

Does not take too long to charge, i usually plug it in the night before but it had a slight charge when I got it. A full charge lasted about 1 month-ish. I only use it once a month so it was still charged from the previous month. No nicks or cuts so far and I've had it for a while.

battery life is good (Haven't done an exact measurement, but it seems like I recharge about every 3 or 4 days). It has an automatic sleep function that preserves the battery life. Full charge in about 2 hours.

while operating - at least 6 hours. I think mine died during the 7-8 hours after a full charge. I leave it in my car and the batteries remain charged until I actually use it and I'd say it keeps its charge for awhile, on a monthly basis. Not too sure about annually.

One full charge last about 3-4 hours game time for me. The battery does drain really fast. If I charged fully, it only takes about 3 days to be out of power. However, the real problem for me is that the battery is unable to hold any charge at all, after 3 weeks. I only charged it like 8 times. I had to return the product. Right now, I really wonder whether or not it's just me or others have the very same problem.

Usually around 6-8 hours. I've never had the battery die on a full days use.

It holds a charge pretty long. I fully charged it and then didn't use it for over a month and it still had 3/4s power available. It charges up much faster via usb to a computer though. It takes a whole day in the sun to charge.

I think it takes about 3 hours to charge fully... or at least that's what I always do. I use the speaker part sometimes to hook up my mp3 player, and when I do that I have it plugged in. It is not the best quality for this though.
