I am sorry, but I have not did this task but give me a few days and I will put my radio on ...charge my unit and let play until it runs down and give you an answer back on this, I an tell you this much ..my old crank emergency radio lasted for almost three days before I had to recharge that battery. I hope I helped. if you are as happy as I am with my Ambient you will not be disappointed with it's performance. jim

I have no idea because I've never just left the radio on that long. That's not something you want to test out with this in an emergency. There's a hand crank to supplement the power when there's no sunlight, so you should be doing that periodically.

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

i have had the battery last about 2 days without a charge. it will also depend on the type and volume level of the music bring played. i listen to bass heavy music fairly loud and 2-2.5 days is what i get.

4 to 8 hours if you're continuously playing only music. If you are playing videos, then the time goes down to around 2-3 hours. Also, so far, all of my players hold charges pretty well too. I also bought several extra USB cords so that I can leave one in the car, my pc at work and with both of my laptops at home. That way, I can easily recharge the battery if it gets low without having to find a cord.

Yes, the battery is rechargeable, and lasts from 5-12 hours depending on if you're listening to the radio (uses more power) or with sdhc card/usb drive (uses less power). You can also plug USB cord into an adapter (I use one from an old cell phone).

Hi... I have used it for 3-4 hours for a few weeks until I had to change the batteries. I would think if you used it all day long, maybe 3-4 days. I use the batteries often, but mainly plugged in. Love it, sound is great, and would buy again!!!

If it is in a "constant" power source you can use the on/off button and it will not byes power. If you plug it in an ignition controlled outlet it will turn off when you turn your car off. Either way it will pair up when you are within 20 or 30 feet of your car and play the last song it played when you turned your car off.

I have the Nano but I dont use it for a radio connection in my car or outside of my car. The battery without being plugged in to a vehicle lasts for around 6-8 hours depending on how much the battery has been used before you purchased it.

I have realized it depends on the volume u use if u use low volume you will get about 21/2 hrs. .the higher the volume the the less playing time when using batteries

Not sure. I used it on/off for 4 hours. It last longer than my cell phone battery used as the music source.

I can really only get about 1 1/2 - 2 hours of playing music. But on the bright side, it only takes like 5 minutes to charge :)

The battery is rechargeable. It will also play while plugged in & has a 4 hour battery life

It has a built in rechargeable battery that lasts about 10 hours with music on - longer if you just use the intercom feature. It recharges in a few hours.

I've had the radio for 4 years and only replaced them twice. Didn't use rechargeable, just normal alkaline. They last a long time, guess it depends on how loud you have it and how long you shower.

Yes. When you turn it ON you hold the POWER button in UNTIL the 90 minutes shuts off. Now the Radio will stay on until the batteries die.

I have it plugged in now. It will play with it plugged in. It stays charged for a good 3 hours and depending on the volume, it could go longer.
