How long without much sunlight will the charge last?

Several days. I usually remove the battery and charge it once a year so that the solar just has to supplement charging.

I think a couple of weeks of cloudiness. We have a couple for a couple of years and that hasn't been a problem.

I've had my first charger through one full, very hard winter here in Wi. It was left out and had a charge first time I used it this spring. It's never, not had a charge. Best thing ever for deer-plagued gardens!

Seems like it will last all night if you have it in full sunlight during the day. Mine gets less than 6 hours during the day and is still on, though it be dim at 4am.

You won't need to leave it charging. I Charged it one time since I got it a month ago, used it at least 10-15 times, and the light is still bright green.

I believe as long as you have good sunlight you can charge. I do not know how many years solar cells last but with a little care they should last for years......One mans opinion

Hello,This unit will get a charge if exposed to any sort of sunlight. For best results that will have the duck be lit up all night, it would need a good 5-6 hours of direct sunlight. Thank you

I haven't tried it in full sunlight. I did try leaving it inside my car next to the windshield. Although this is not ideal, after 2 or 3 days, it did not charge much my 10,000 mah battery. It may be better for smaller battery capacities like your iPhone but not super efficient for large battery packs.

I don't know exactly, and it probably depends on the intensity of the sunlight. . I would say two to three hours

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

Right around 6-6 1/2 hours on the brighter setting and I'll let charge 1-2 hours while I do other things that does nit require a light or I will charge it overnight while I'm asleep. I 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.

I haven't left the light on for very long, but I will tell you that once the light is charged, it holds the charge for weeks at a time. I bought 60 lights to bring to Kenya to give to students I sponsor to use as reading lights. I know they will be very happy to receive them.

When the solar panel has full sunlight, no obstructions, my light will go for at least 5 hours. I say "at least" because I'm not paying attention the entire time. I use it to light the trunk of a tree.

8 hours of direct sunlight is the best, but I think it would light with 6 or 7 hours, It is a really good spotlight, I have had many but this is the best by far!

one night we were doing a bbq outside and it was giving at least an hour of light: the light did not have full charge. the light is pretty bright.with full light it can give you a more than 1 hour i believe. but I don't know about 4 to 6. I don't think it is designed for this long or for constant light, This light turns off automatically if no movement.

Yes! With average use and backlight on (dimmed), charge lasts about 30 hours.

It typically lasted 3 to 4 hours if I didn't attach USB devices to it. (I usually use about 85% of full screen brightness.)
