How long does the speaker play on a charge?

This would depend on Your batteries. As it does not have a battery of it's own you would need to purchase four rechargeable AA batteries.

At least 3 hours for a continuous call. Charging is quick and it does not disconnect the audio.

It depends on the volume you use it; having said that I use it at 90% volume whilst watching movies and I can say that my iPad runs out of battery before the speaker so that would be around 6 to 7hrs of play using bluetooth.

From what I've seen the Boom needs a good 2-3 hours to fully charge. If I'm not mistaken there is a very small LED light where you plug in the charger that is on while it is charging and it turns off when it is fully charged. Also once you feel like it has charged for long enough you can unplug the Boom and then press the positive and negative volume buttons at the same time which will give an audible power level amount. I normally see between 10-11 hours of play when it is fully charged which is a little less than advertised but I turn mine up pretty loud when listening.

I have never used it until it dies but I have used it for several hours here and there and it didn't charge for 4 days still came right on. This is the best portable speaker I've bought yet and I have serval some high end name brand but this beats them all! Hope this helps

The one we purchased plays for 15 minutes I believe, before turning off. To save batteries I assume. It's been about six months, not sure if they are still being made this way.

maybe takes an hour to charge. charge lasts quite a while. probably couple days in standby mode and probably couple hours at least of talk (active) time. After the firmware upgrade I made to the unit, I am really happy with it. It is a great business tool. I often use this instead of our VOIP phone system.

A charge should be good for a few hours. More importantly, your MP3 player's charge will go much further, since you won't have to play it at full volume to drive a pair of headphones

It will start making a warning tone. The first time it happened to me I didn't realize it was the speaker, I thought my phone was broken. You can use the speaker while its being charged. I charge my speaker on e a week, while driving, and it usually always last for the 7 days without a recharge.

Thanks for your question. It takes about an hour depending on how much charge it needs. This is a fantastic sounding speaker. World Wide Stereo is 35 years old and a very proud Soundmatters dealer.

The parent unit adjusts quite nicely volume-wise, from mute all the way up to being able to hear every little sound. We usually keep ours at a medium volume. I'm not sure about 12 hours, but we use ours in our room without charging overnight, so 8 hours should be fine if you start fully charged.

This speaker has a built-in rechargeable Lithium Ion Battery built in. 2500 MaH, which lasts between 10 and 16 hours, depending on the volume that you play the music at. If using it at moderate volumes, our tests have lasted over 16 hours. If at maximum volume, it lasts about 10 hours. This speaker also has a built in power bank. You can actually use the built-in battery to charge other devices that can be plugged in using the USB port on this device. There are 2 ports- one Micro USB port that is used to charge the speaker. One full size USB port that you can use to charge another device. Obviously that will affect the battery duration- if being used to charge another device while listening to music. The speaker does come with a Micro USB cable, but it doesn't have a USB wall charger included. You can use any Micro USB phone charger or any USB charger to charge the device in only 1 to 2 hours. You can also plug the included cable into a computer's USB port. Most people already have either Micro USB or USB chargers that came with their Android or iPhone devices, so the same charger can normally be used as long as it either has a Micro USB or USB port. Please let us know if you have any other questions.

I had the thing on a medium volume on Saturday, and it wasn't even on a full charge and it was still going when i brought the speaker inside 7-8 hours later. I use it all the time and have yet to use it for enough time for the battery to run out. Amazing battery life.

I use rechargeable and it played for over 80 hours in one sitting. Not bad.

I can't give you an exact time. I think it is between 1 and 2 hours. It drains the battery much faster than the regular irig, which you can charge because it plugs into the ear jack. I also had issues getting the gain adjusted as you switch between different amps and effects. I basically stopped using it. I either use the original or my iLoud.

Yes, I am not sure how long it will last when charged. One note -voice quality is not the best.

This unit plays for me for easily 6 hours but I haven't really timed it. For a full recharge I would guess a couple of hours but I never have paid much attention to that. Most of the time I just play it till it stops over a few days and then plug it in overnight. You can continue play the "discharged" unit on the charger while it recharges if you like. I have been very impressed with the battery performance, it has exceeded my expectations.
