How much time you can play from a single battery charge?

Well I play usually 6 or 8 hours, then simply redock it in the charger. I've not left it undocked to know how long it lasts. I'm sorry!

I've been using 2 AAA Ni-MH rechargable batteries in it. Can play continuosly for about 48hrs before changing them out. Getting the batteries out of the controller is kind of tricky but can be done with no harm to the batteries or controller if you take out one with your finger nail and gently bang the other one out. Ni-MH AAA batteries with charger is fairly cheap.

Yes. This player has a built-in, rechargeable battery that can last a good 20 hours before recharging it using a computer or USB cell phone charger. It may run down faster if you use a lot of the functions, such as moving from track to track.

I suppose it depends on how intensively it's used. I play games for about 30 minutes every day and the charge lasts about 4 days. Streamed video for more than 1 hour and it might have consumed 40% of battery life.

It usually take a couple hours to charge and lasts for about 8 hours. I believe charging and playing at the same time does slow the charge

Yes....yes you can....depending on what you do with your phone. Streaming music will last for 4 to 6 hours but just playing on the internet and texting i can get 10 to 16 hours out of a fully charged battery.

The specs state that on one charge the Rechargeable lithium-ion battery will last for 10 hours of play time, and 280 hours of standby.

You will definitely get 8 hours play-time easy on a full charge. If you typically workout about 1-2hrs a day, you can probably go the whole week before you will need to recharge.

I want to say about 4 hours. I haven't tested the battery alot, but I have used the player alot and it is awesome! It's so good that I bought a second one because I wanted to be sure that I'd have another when the first one wore out in a few years. I was laid up for a while cos of a car accident, and this was awesome because it has a remote control that works wonderfully and the pic quality is awesome! So is the sound quality. And I use it alot. I also leave it plugged in while playing it if possible, that way the battery won't run down.I recommend this to anyone. The Sony quality shines thru on this :) I want to say about 4 hours. I haven't tested the battery alot, but I have used the player alot and it is awesome!

I have realized it depends on the volume u use if u use low volume you will get about 21/2 hrs. .the higher the volume the the less playing time when using batteries

My battery went dead, a couple of times. Until i started taking it out after playing, it last alot longer with this method.

Depends I have about 3 to 4 hours on batt live at one time, it can be up two 6-7 if you are not using a lot of apps! Some people say 12 hours(hard to believe though.)

My son uses it at work and he plays it for at least 8 hours straight. However he then charges it each night not that it needs it but "just in case" I hope this helps

I've used it while plugged in for several hours. Don't know about unlimited play time. I would think you could.

3 hours if you are using the maximum performance option, about 5-6 if you are on battery saver. :)

I can really only get about 1 1/2 - 2 hours of playing music. But on the bright side, it only takes like 5 minutes to charge :)
