How many hours of continuous radio will one full charge provide? (I'm used to changing three D-Cells about every 5 months in my old Magnavox Portable)

This is a small radio. I would check out YouTube to see it in action. For a small radio, it has very clear full crisp sound. So far, I've used it about ten hours without charging. I bought a second battery for under three bucks on eBay. I will rotate them when one runs out of power. It's not like a boom box. More like a updated fancy transistor radio but with stereo sound.

Around 10 Hours... I bought a spare BL-5C 1000 mah 3.7V battery for $4 online... I listen to it a lot on the beach.. This radio will also run while it is plugged in for charging.

I just got the radio last week. I charged it from my laptop USB connection. I believe the manual stated it will run about 10 hours at medium volume.It just has a cell phone battery. So if you are looking for something that runs for month on battery alone then this may not be for you.The box had a flyer from the distributor, offering a charger for $9.95. They send it for free if you review the radio.

I can charge my radios from completely dead to fully charged in less than 8 hours. If you charge for over 24 hours and still can't get a full charge, either your battery pack needs to be replaced, or your charger is defective.

Hi. I live in a roomy townhome and one charge does drawing, dining, kitchen on level 1, stairs and 2 bedrooms and corridor on level above. I can do whole house in 1 charge with some battery still left-over. After 30-40 days of use, there has been no problem with battery life. Please do also read my review for some more info. Best wishes...

Depends on battery & whether new or old. Mine was used 4400mh 6cell. I get about 7&half; hours. you can get a 5200mh 6 cell for around $36. I am looking for a 7800 9cell but haven't found yet

With the 18v lithium-ion slim pack I get a solid 6-8 hours of radio from almost the highest volume setting. Now if I charge my cellphone at the same time its down to more like 4 hours, so I always bring a 2nd battery. I wish I would have just bought a hi-capacity battery instead of 2 batteries and a charger because the radio is actually a charger when you plug it in.

I've used my Sansa for an 8 hour work day turning it off to respond to an occasional phone call, or interruption then turning it back on to resume the music. I've never run the battery down completely and have never had less than 1/3 the battery indicator after listening almost continuously for 8 hours. If I were to guess, I would say the Battery will probably last 12 to 16 hours of continuous use.

440 mA is the milliamp charging the unit does. So your D cell will hold 10,000 mA for long life. So yes, your D cell will charge to 10,000 at the 440 pace. Might take a few hours.

Have not been charging since than roughly 1hr per day .i listen to music from my phone using FM . As for the FM button i realise that i have to press five times continuous than it will be activated. trust me this matter works. Hope this will help you.

Not sure where I originally got this info, but for years I've sworn by a complete first charge followed by a complete discharge, followed by another complete second charge (and keeping the machine turned off during at least the first exercise). All future use minimizing actual battery usage, so basically keep it plugged in whenever possible or at least charging every night. My 3 yr old LG cell phone still gets 3-4 days/charge (vs 5-6 days brand new) and 4 yr old laptop gets 2 hrs (vs 4 hrs brand new)...Hope this helps.

I have found that a full charge will last for 1/2 to 3/4 of an hour if used constantly for the whole time. Also depends on how fast you run it.

Alkaline D cells last for ages, several months for me when running 30-40 minutes daily (mostly FM, I only use Bluetooth on weekends). I switched to Sanyo Eneloop AA cells with D spacers earlier this year, and they still run 5-6 weeks. I swap 'em out when the meter shows one bar of three, don't wait for them to die, so they're probably good for another week.

you are correct. the more deep cell batteries you have the more you can convert to elec. you will also need and inverter to change the dc power to ac. power. i have 8 of these panels and 9 deep cell batteries, and a 3600ac converter. this allows me to power my computer, printer, monitor, tv, and vcr/dvd player. for 4-5 hrs. the queastion is how much do you want to power?

I find that at full charge the batteries last more than 4 hours. I think it is a great idea to keep a spare charged. Especially if you are editing or taking video as well.

AA, we change Batteries every other week for our weekly 3 hour Meeting. Batteries are solid for 5 hours. When Audio gets fuzzy, it's not Volume control but Batteries require changing. As another commented, we're now trying en-loop Batteries. Don't know yet if that's the answer. These Mics provide excellent coverage for us in a Church Fellowship Hall! Hope that helps!

On a full charge, and, for me, I had it on the third setting (Blue) on constantly, onto my iPod, it last around 6 hours! So, if you want to run it for a long time. Quick charge during lunch breaks, coffee breaks, and so on.
