This ended up not working all together. I couldn't get customer support out of China..... Battery worked.

Around 6 hours active use, significantly longer when connected but idle. It tells you when it turns on how many hours of talk time left, but as it ages it gets less accurate. When new it's pretty consistent, but after a year of daily use mine would say "more than 1 hour of talk time" and die within 40 minutes. It charges with a standard microUSB like most phones use, so you can use a cheap car charger. It charges to full from dead in about 10-15 min I think (never actually timed).

I haven't exactly timed how long the battery lasts, but depending on how much I use it, I generally need to charge it every day. Naturally I turn it off when I'm not using it, but I would say once a day with normal use.

I've had mine for a few months now and ive let it go from full charge to dead a couplde times to keep the battery maintained. I'd say an estimate of 7-8 hours on standby i.e. on but no real processes. Maybe longer than that. I do know that under stressful procedures i.e. multiple processes running such as a gaming client, chat system, word processor, internet, spotify etc it goes from full battery to no battery in 3 hours or less. This is just based on what I've had. Take it with a grain of salt I guess.

Haven't really timed it out from drained to full charge, but my best guess would be 30 minutes.... :-) hope this helps God Bless

It lasts about two weeks between charges. In that time, it's on standby about 10 hours a day and used for talk about an hour each day.

Standby battery is really great, *IF* you turn it off after every use. I once charged it for a one-hour presentation, turned it off and left in my bag for a whole month and was able to use it for another one-hour long presentation with no issues. That's pretty amazing.Turning it off is quite easy, just push and hold the on/off button until you see the blue light blinking really fast and then let go. You'll see the blue light pause and then fade slowly, that's how you know it's turned off.

About 2 hours with activity, stand by is several hours. But after a few weeks of use, battery life goes under 1 hour. I plugged it in for 3 hours, and only 1/3 of it was charged. Really awful battery life.

I have not run it all the way down, but I would expect 6-8 hours of use....several weeks in standby.

It depends. In the ground blind we find that the battery holds out for about 6 hours. In a tree stand however it's a little less. You can still count on about 4 hours though.

Standby Time is 120 hours. Talk Time is 5 hours. Music Play Time is 4.5 hours. Thanks!

The X300A does have a standby mode. When plugged in through the Aux input the X300A will shut off after 5-7 minutes of inactivity. It takes about 30 seconds to kick back in when you turn your device back on. On the USB input the X300A has a 30-40 minute threshold of inactivity. It will also take about 30 seconds to kick back in when you start using your device again.

Long Thi, On full standby this battery has lasted me anywhere from 2-3 weeks. On regular use this lasts about 2 full days for me, compared to the 5hrs I got with the stock battery. Note Rebecca's post below. There is always a chance an after market battery can harm your phone. I used this for months and have never had an issues. I have 2 friends with it as well without issue. The chance it will kill your phone is slim but still possible. -Hope this helps.

Hey Derrick...I charged it when I received it on April 30. I use it on average 2-3 hours per evening. I use the back light function every 30 minutes or so and the unit is in standby during the 2-3 hours of use. I turn the unit off each evening. I have not yet had to charge the battery.

Mine turns off after approx 20 mins of no input, no matter whether running on battery or plugged in, and no matter whether on Bluetooth or wired input. It must then be turned back on with the power switch. There is no way to defeat this, and I verified with JBL/Harmon Customer Support that this "Standby mode" is normal behavior. This is NOT mentioned in the skimpy user manual provided, and is completely UNsatisfactory for my desired use. It's getting returned, unfortunately.

2 hours. Maybe 2 1/2. Be careful when you "close it" or pause it, because it doesn't turn off and will run the battery down.
