It lasts about 10%-20% longer than the OEM battery. I ended up not using it because of the extra weight and little benefit.

My wife bought this for me for a trip out to Big Bend last Xmas. I still have the same batteries in it and have used it since Dec 26, 2014. on a few trips and power outages.I'm going to say 150 Low and more than 16 hours on High.

I've mostly used it on USB, but from time to time it comes unplugged and I dont notice til days later that it's still running. I've never attempted to use it for 80 continuous hours, but I'd say it lives atleast 60 before it needs a charge.

I have charged the battery maybe 4 times now. I would say it lasts for a good 6-8 hours of on and being used time.

I've had mine off for two days straight, in the past. With intermitant use (1/2 hour at a time), 6-7 times during those two days it was still charged. After several months ALL SMDs still bright and white.

Typical use (2 mins sending, 8 mins receiving) you'll get about 3-4 hours at 5 watts output. If you just monitor waiting for a signal, it will last for days in standby. If left off and used sporadically, you can get several weeks of use. Since it is a nicad battery, it will self-discharge in about 2-3 months, even if turned off. I have had mine for 7 years and still on the original battery.

For me it lasted about a week without having to charge it, I had only tested that once while on vacation because most of the time its on the charger every night.

I plop this in the charger without regard for battery cycle but since I don't have two of these to run a side by side life test I couldn't answer your question directly. However, I've had this for over a year now and it seems to be standing up fine with erratic/inconsistent use of the charger.

So far after I charge the battery it will last about 90 minutes. I have not had any issues with the battery.

I have had mine for about a month. I always forget to turn it off so I cannot tell you how long the battery lasts because I have not needed to recharge yet.

I don't know. It has a standard mini USB connector. I found that, powering a Blue Tooth device in constant use, its battery capacity was good for only about 2 hours.
