I do not know how long it would last, however we had a power outage of 1 hour and 15 min a few weeks ago and was during the day. The flashlight comes on automatable but our hallway is dark and the night light stays on. I pushed the button to turn off the flashlight and left the night light on. After one hour and the 15 minute outage the nightlight was just as bright as when it first blacked out. In one hour there should be plenty of time to get some lights going (flashlights etc.). With the lamps being LED I am convinced there will be plenty of time on the battery. Hope that helped, I'm sold on it.

YES. I have unplugged the base unit several times as I put my new office desk in order. The backup power from the handset is limited by the rather small AAA batteries, so I don't expect it to last very long. In my experience, the majority of power outages or brown-outs are very brief (i.e. less than 2-3 seconds) and anything longer is probably going to be hours, not minutes. I think this is a thoughtful feature and it's showing up in more and more ordinary devices that aren't much fun to re-program. It works unless the handset isn't in place during the outage, but even then, I didn't lose any programming (addressbook, speed dialing, and cell phone pairing). YES.

Buy a UPS of the type you use on your computer. All functions are there. Size it to how long a power failure you want to ride through.

It is self-recharging with a built in battery. I don't know how long it would last, but it has lasted for outages of ~6 hours.

I generally charge it for about ten to fifteen minutes and work a full time job and it's never really died on me...If I get up to leave the computer I'll usually just hook it up and when I come back unplug it and I'm good to go. Never had it die on me yet.

I tend to keep mine on power save, it seems to last pretty well. I'm not sure and exact answer on a number but several hours.

Sorry to say....never used yet..only tested when bought it.....Only used for power outages..

depends on how much sunlight you get, but I'd be willing bet it would last a few hours at least. Mine only comes on for a few mins at night when I come home from work. That's all I need it for. Works great, no problems with it yet. Very bright.

Depends on the load, mine will go probably 15 min irl. If you're gaming online and the power goes out for a minute or two and comes back you will not be interrupted. But keep in mind these units are made for short term power backup so you have time to shut down without damaging your computer.

I havent tried to be honest. The longest so far is couple of days, but i havent lost anything out of it so far. I think if u keep it for a month u might lose just a bar of its light indicator which could account for 2 to 5% of its overall due to its internal connections lost. Which is nornal for these kind of devices. But i normally keep it on the charge when i am not using it at home.

I wish I could help you, but so far, I have not experienced a power outage where I live since I purchased the set. I still have a plain old plug into the wall telephone outlet phone just in case.

I have not run it all the way down, but I would expect 6-8 hours of use....several weeks in standby.

Not very long at all, I bought mine, waited a few months before my Tv needed it and when I installed it, it lasted a day before my Tv said it needed to be replaced again. That's what you get for going cheap.

We have a generator which automatically turns on when utility power is lost for more than 15-20 seconds, so I do not know how long the computer would remain operative without the generator.

Assuming about 10 minutes per day of "On Time". It should last about 2 weeks, or a little more.Globalcom888-636-0707

It depends upon the number of devices that your unit is going to provide power to via its internal battery. Without that knowledge it is impossible to provide you with an answer. My unit states that it will provide approximately 30 minutes of battery backup power. During a power outage it would be supplying power via its internal battery to a notebook, a docking station, a monitor, a phone, a modem and router. Hope that helps.

I'm not entirely certain how long one would last, because I've never had reason to give it heavy use...I'm sorry I couldn't be of more assistance with your question.
