How long can it last while not being used- will it lose battery strength over time? How much time?

Not really sure. However I have charged it and didn't use it for over 2 weeks , then charged 3 phones.

it just cannot be charged. It always keep out of power. When I charged it the lights blink all the time. But no power in it and I cannot use it to charge my iphone.

I've had it in my bag for at least a couple months and still been able to get a fairly quick recharge for my phone or iPad, but obviously if it is critical it's prudent to charge it up ahead of time.

Well, unfortunately I'm not an avid gamer so I am not on it that often, but I have found that if you have it in sleep mode it does a very good job of retaining power. If I were to estimate, if you played it as much as the average owner, I would say you could get a guaranteed couple days out of it...I might even venture and say three days. Again thats just a guess. You might wanna poke around online and google some sites that will give you some good insight on the battery life. Hope I was able to help at least a little. Have fun and keep gaming! ;)

Very rough estimate, probably around 10 hours till it's completely dark... that said, it depends on which setting it's at (there are 3 brightness settings), and it doesn't just go dead, it gradually gets dimmer with time. I have not had it actually turn off even after probably more than 6 hours of use over a long period (i lost the charger), but it definitely got dim. I'd say you have a good 4-5 hours that it's "strong." For what it's worth, it can get power/charge from a USB port on your computer in addition to the wall outlet.

I am not sure, since I have not had to replace the battery. I will tellyou this I have had it for over a year. However, it does not get used all the time.

it lasts as long as you dont use it. the battery does not lose its charge once it is charged

Don't know actual battery life on device(never kept track) but probably not going to last long enough for what you want.

My battery last for a while. About 2-3 months, but I think it depends on how much it has to be used. The batteries are cheap at Walmart.

I'm not totally certain about the battery life. I left mine on using it here and there through the day and it well into the evening before I had to plug it in again. I also know that I left in sleep mode for over a week and it still had about 70% battery left it. It impressed me how long it would hold its battery power

I havent tried to be honest. The longest so far is couple of days, but i havent lost anything out of it so far. I think if u keep it for a month u might lose just a bar of its light indicator which could account for 2 to 5% of its overall due to its internal connections lost. Which is nornal for these kind of devices. But i normally keep it on the charge when i am not using it at home.

Hi, I have not used it that long, but so far, the battery is holding up. Have not tested it on an all day run!Sorry I can't be of more help!

I can't say over the long-term, but I have had mine for three months, I use it everyday for hours at a time, and I have not yet had to replace the battery.

Hello. Based on usage a full charge should last between a couple weeks of non-usage to a few days of extensive use. Thank you

Yes, it will last. I've used it 5 times for 45 minutes at a time and haven't had to charge it yet.

The owner's manual states that leaving it on charge is not a safety concern, but it can shorten the battery life. They recommend not leaving it on charge for extended periods, 30 days, if it is not used. If you are using it regularly there should be no problem leaving it on charge.

In my experience, it does not lose power when not used for weeks. I do not know how much longer it will hold a charge.

I've had this for months but I don't read every night. It's still going strong for me. Just realize the batteries are going to have to be replaced eventually. If I had to guess, I'd bet the batteries would run constantly for 48 hours and still be useable.

I agree for me last around 40-50 originally. Over time I'm guessing due to battery wear its portability duration is greatly reduced. I've had mine a couple years with moderate to heavy use. Doesn't seem to last over 24 hrs now without a recharge.
