How much battery life (play time), with 2 new batteries?

It's ridiculously long. I've had this for over 6 months now and it still shows it has a full charge. I expect I'll get about a year without changing it at this rate. Buy it.

Battery life is very good , I use it in the shower everyday , so assuming a total usage of abt an hour everyday for the family, two new batteries last me easily a month if not more, battery life obviously is also governed by signal strength at the location, mine is abt average. So I will rate it quite highly. Brgds JD

I can't give you measured hours, but I play mine in the shower every morning for about 20 - 30 minutes, have had it maybe a year? (have to look) and haven't had to change the batteries yet.

The battery life is better than I expected,I put 2 used batteries several months ago and just dropped to 2 bars out of 3,I use it daily.

It's the standard battery, but it lasts a good amount of time. Unless you're going to be playing all day without a break, it should be plenty. Also, are the extended replacement batteries even out yet? I was under the impression those haven't been released yet (as of this writing).

4 to 5 hours I believe... depends on what your doing with them, constant music shorter battery life...

That is difficult to say. I have an use my original battery (Aug 2007) - which still holds a two hour charge under heavy video usage. I needed another for my extended travels and quick swap out in foreign countries or areas without reliable consistent power sources.

at least 3 days (probably more) -charge it after playing on Tues. - use it for 18 on Fri.

I would not say that, but it did return the GB to its original battery life. I can use mine for a few days now without having to charge it, probably playing 4-5 hours a day. Absolutely worth picking up.

off the top of my head i dont have a number but the np-fv100 battery would out last my old battery by 1hr and a half with minutes to spare. its puts me at ease knowing my battery will last more than 50 minutes. Its large but its light.

I haven't actually measured mine, I might give it a full charge and see. But guessing, I can usually play for 3-6 hours a day for at least 3 days before needing a full charge. It usually lands on the lower end, but I also run my headset off of it which drains it pretty well. 30 seems pretty generous though and I don't feel like you could get close to that without the remote just being idle (no play or vibration). As a whole though, they're a far better buy than the nyko stand for the xbone.

Hi, from what i know the battery is non replaceable nor can you replace it. But gives up to 8-10 hours of play time. I leave mine off charge at home to maintain battery life. All said this is one great device. The build quality is excellent and the sound is great.

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.

What is regular use? With the original battery I could work about 8 hours, with this one about 20. Reducing screen brightness can give you another 30% more battery life.

I don't notice a difference as far as battery life is concerned. They work great! One thing that I did notice, the battery is hard to remove from the charging case but I have only charged the batteries a couple of times. There is a video that shows u how to remove them and l will look at that again someday.....Not a big deal.

I have no idea .. so far the little Simon has supplied lot of hours of play for grandson. Haven't yet needed to open to replace. Assume it's a disk-style battery I can get at Radio Shack when necessary rather than a double-A or a triple-A. Time will tell.

Well I have played it straight for about four hours without having to recharge it. I haven't drain the battery completely yet. I have also used it after in not being charged after two weeks. The battery last a long time in other words.

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.)

I'm not sure but whatever battery it was, it was truly terrible. On max volume only 1 hour and 40 min of play time. On low volume 3 hours and 30 min.
