How long is the battery life for continuous play?

It depends on the volume you use it; having said that I use it at 90% volume whilst watching movies and I can say that my iPad runs out of battery before the speaker so that would be around 6 to 7hrs of play using bluetooth.

I have never actually timed it but it seems to go many hours as I use it while streaming radio or my mp3s and it just keeps going and going. Eventually I just plug it in when I"m finished. I have never run out of juice to date. BTW this thing is amazing in my eyes for its size.

I've never played music continuously, but I think it would last several hours. It does re-charge quickly, however, in approximately 2 hours. It's very portable and convenient to use. I love the sound! My husband and I liked it so much we purchased two.

I find I use the device about 10 times per round. I play an average of 3 rounds a week so if each use is a "session" the battery should last over 6 years. We'll see.

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.

at least 3 days (probably more) -charge it after playing on Tues. - use it for 18 on Fri.

A couple hours tops. None of the Eclipse music players have a very long battery life.

There are two charging settings on the player. The setting that I use stops charging the battery at ~90% of full charge. This is supposed to extend the life of the battery although it shortens the life of the charge. In my use I could get about 20 hours of play time out of the charge but if you use it for video, or are constantly using the menu which makes the back light come on or used a different mix of radio and player, your experience could vary significantly from mine.

We get about 4 hours of constant playing before we need to charge it again.

Hi,It's 5hrs continuous play. Worth noting, with this model there is a slight drain on the battery, even when switched off. Maybe 9-10 days to drain. This is because the microprocessor has to go into sleep mode rather than fully switch off. It simply means making sure the unit has been topped up with charge the night before. It's a genuine 5 hrs as well, not a "marketed" 5 hrs. Thanks.

Our battery lasted longer than that. Like you said, maybe if you were shooting it non-stop in full auto mode it would last only 20 minutes, but in normal play it was just fine.

6 to 8 hours if not playing video. 4 to 5 when mostly video (streaming). This is an estimate, I never timed it. There is also a power safe features that I keep disabled. Your power management settings and screen brightness make a huge difference on what you can get out of a single charge.

Hi Julie, when it's fully charged it last for 2 hours. I have to say I'm not a fan of this player...

The battery life is wonderful. I have gotten well over 8 hours of play without recharge.

It plays fine for me after a full charge, although I don't play it very long at a time. Probably 2 hours max play time. I did drain it fully the first time after I charged it fully - and it took over 2 hours to drain, but I only turned off all power save features, and was not using any network. My complaint with the battery is that it drains when NOT in use. So, I have it fully charged, and then 2 weeks later it is completely dead. It does charge up again ok. The reason I purchased this one is that the battery has a 1 yr warranty.

I haven't actually measured mine, I might give it a full charge and see. But guessing, I can usually play for 3-6 hours a day for at least 3 days before needing a full charge. It usually lands on the lower end, but I also run my headset off of it which drains it pretty well. 30 seems pretty generous though and I don't feel like you could get close to that without the remote just being idle (no play or vibration). As a whole though, they're a far better buy than the nyko stand for the xbone.
