Typically how long will the radio work for with a 2 min crank?

2 minutes cranking will give you about an hours play (not at full volume though). The manual says each 90 second crank will give you 30 - 40 minutes play.

It usually last for 2 hours. You should be able to get a second Battery, even a bigger one.

No need to crank more than 5 OR 6 times. It turned on out of the box and I cracked it 5 times and it has been running strong for 20 minutes.

Mine turned on as soon as I took it out of the package. It was very dim but with a few cranks it got brighter. You will want batteries in it though. The radio takes too much juice for the hand crank and drains it right away when you turn on the radio. This is a really nice little item!

I believe it runs for somewhere between 45 seconds or 1 minute. Then stops. You can find the manual on the internet.

Haven't tested this, but the directions that came with it says the radio will go on a fully charged battery for 4 hours. It takes 35 min. of cranking to get it fully charged, or it has a solar panel, which will fully charge the battery after 8 hours.

I can't tell you in exact hours, but it appears to be a very long time. Much longer than any other battery operated radio that I know of. Six D batteries makes the radio very heavy, but since I use it as a table radio and not as a portable, it does not matter to me. I mostly keep it plugged into an AC outlet.

For motor-bike batteries(150c.c. bike), it can do the job in less than 50 minutes. For Cars batteries, it's vary with the volume/capacity of the batteries. For my own car(Suzuki Swift), it gets the job done in 5 hours. I think it is fast enough for me.

You can set it to run as long as you want in 30 minutes intervals. So to answer your question yes you can set it for two hours!

I have two, the one that came with the boat and a slightly larger one. I would say you should get at least 15 min out of it but then again depends how you run the boat. Long story short you should have at least two batteries to properly enjoy a nice 30 min.

The crank is made of plastic. I don't have the answer to your other questions.

2,200 mAh is the battery capacity.If the radio draws 220 mA, this battery would run the radio for 10 hours, or if it draws 440 mA, it would run for 5 hours.If you want to increase the run time of this radio by 50%, I would suggest upgrading to the Panasonic 3,400 mAh battery for about $5 each.Using ear buds in place of the built in speaker will dramatically increase the run time, as it will draw less power from the battery.

With anything it depends how loud you play it. I cranked mine almost full and got many 6 hrs out of a 3amp battery even though it was supposed be 8. With the 1830 I'd say you'd get 3 or 4 hrs playtime as long as you don't crank it. Hope this helps.

The stock battery is kinda small, pick up a 1600mAh and you should get about 8-10 minutes. Don't feel bad, the really big and fast boats that go 60mph plus only last about 2-3 minutes!

About 15 to 20 mins depending on the tune you have set for it or the way you drive it.

It depends on the charge status of the battery. Sometimes 5 minutes will do it.

It depends on your charging method. A few hours via AC power with a depleted battery. Crank for two minutes, rest for a minute, and repeat.
