Battery life? Is it keeping that charge over time? Looks like MEElec AirFi and battery on my AirFi weakened, then wouldn't hold charge after 14mos.

I brought this back in Aug, not 1 year yet. However, I am using the tactic used for prolonging laptop battery i.e. use the device until power exhaustion, before recharge it full again. I guess I will find out more in another 9 months.

Mine stopped holding a charge after about a year. Love the device, but seems to be what happens with them

Pleo is intriguing, although the idea of having to charge it for 4 hours for one hour of "life" seems a bit much to me. Maybe if they would improve the chargeability, I would consider getting one.

I've had mine for quite a while. I love it and have had no problems. Keeps a charge for hours! Maybe you got a bad one.

I bought mine almost 1 year ago and it still works great, the charge lasts forever. You must of got a defective one, I would return it for another one.

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 think it lasts a good long time. And I use it quite a bit with the WiFi function. And recently started using it remotely controlled with my phone. I went on an 8 day vacation to Turkey and Greece, and I don't think I had to recharge it at all. So, at least the battery life is good enough that it doesn't stand out in my memory as being a hassle.

The last time I changed a battery, I had a similar response. But, given time it recovered and is now working properly. Maybe it's a capacitance issue.

I can't say that I've check on the battery life. It seems to last pretty long. I will check this week and try to repost.

I think I may keep it. I want to keep it anyway. I downloaded the newest firmware update which is supposed to deal with some of the issues with alarm presets and lost wifi connections so hopefully this will work. The battery pack finally was just made available on the logitech web site and I really like the idea of being able to use the radio anywhere for up to 6 hours with the rechargeable battery. I just ordered the battery pack so I will just try to wait it out to see if there are any more problems with the radio.

I have had nothing but trouble with battery life on this "monster". I received it as a Christmas present, charged the battery for at least 3 hours initially, then used it for an hour or so. When I tried to use it again the next day, the battery was so low the device would not boot up. Recharged it to 100% capacity, closed it down to sleep mode, tried to use it again after about 24 hours. The battery was again completely discharged. This has happened 3 times. Who wants a device that you have to charge for 3 hours EVERY 24 hours in order to use it 6 - 8 hours?? I don't recommend anyone buying this item!

I got this for my son last year. About 4 months ago the battery quit holding a charge. For a time it quit turning on and somehow my husband rebooted it and got it going again (sorry, I don't remember how they did it). It works as long as it's plugged in.

I have been using the battery for a couple months and I haven't had that problem. It doesn't seem to charge consistently though.I have not been happy with battery performance.

IDK! I know that you have to check it to NOT charge (keep pressed the buttom to disable) to maintain the charge. But how many days... I really can't say. it suposed to hold it like 30 days or so. but never tried.

Not at all! I keep my controls at charge all the time and I haven't noticed lifespan shortening.

I had problems with this not charging - but each time it turned out to be the usb cable that had gotten too loose. I would try a different USB cable and see if that will charge it. We have had ours for a year and the battery life, while not great, is still a good hour or so.

For me, it didn't last long. I let the battery that I bought for a 24 hour charge before using the laptop without it being pligged in the charger. It had at least a good 6 hours before battery needed to ne charged again. So I turned off my laptop and waited for it to charge. Then the next day, battery didn't work anymore as it would only hold maximum charge of 13%.
