how long does the battery last
1961304
Don't hold me to this , but maybe 5/6 hours depending on how much of a charge the player you're using it has left on it. The player will constantly draw from the Fostex if it is used in DAC /amp mode rather than just amp mode (the 30 pin to USB cable thinks it's seeing a charger even when the player/Fostex are both off. Just a trickle charge but it is constant. Unplug the cable when not in use (i let it dangle from the player; it's a short cable) & I try to give the iPod a short charge before I hook back-up.

I have been using the device for two months only and very few times until it dies. The longer I have experiencie is almost 7 hours. I hope this is useful

The battery lasts around 3-4 hours fully charged. I found it very useful to keep it plugged in while using it at home.

It was lasting up to 20-25 minutes for me. I always keep it plugged in. Use it almost every day, several times a day. But now that I've had it for about 9 months, the battery is no longer lasting very long. I think maybe 5 minutes, tops, before it starts to lose power. I am here to check out the return policy, because I think I got a lemon. My last Dustbuster lasted several years with regular use. It's way too early for this one to be dying already.

From full charge, the battery typically will last 1-1.5 hours with continued usage.

Battery life is pretty good... A whole day if your actually using it.. I've left it sitting and it's lasted around 3 weeks without usage on one charge.

Pretty long. Months I would say. We got ours about 10 months ago and I think I have only replaced the batteries 2 or 3 times. Pretty good considering it is used almost every night.

I have not yet run the battery out of charge and I have daily long phone calls with my partner who lives on the other side of the state during the work week. It lasts at least 2 hours so far, probably longer (though I might not).

About a year and a half. I tried replacing the battery and it didn't work anymore after that.

About 4 hours per use. My last battery lasted about 3 years before I had to replace it.

At least three months of heavy use. No warning of the batteries dying yet either. You don't have to turn it off and on. It will turn itself off after roughly 10-15 minutes of being still and takes about a second to turn back on by moving it around. It's quite good, and probably even better with rechargeable batteries.

I have been amazed at how long the battery actually lasts. I use mine for Children's Church once a week on Sundays. I can go over a month before I have to charge it again.

Good, I assume. I have been using it 8+ hours/ day for 5 dats a week and I've had it over a month now and haven't had to replace the battery yet.

My battery last for a while. About 2-3 months, but I think it depends on how much it has to be used. The batteries are cheap at Walmart.

Overall the battery life is good. For a heavy user like me it lasts for 2.5 to 3.5hrs. its good. the only drawback is it has a inbuilt battery. which means its not user replaceable.

I'd say mine lasts just under 3 hours at the lowest power levels. The battery is easy to remove, so you can always buy a second battery to double your life.

The battery life has been great so far! I've had mine for two months, I never turn it off, and I use my computer for 8-12 hours every day. The batteries haven't needed changed yet.

I've had it for about two years now, and the battery life on it is about two hours, give or take. It's definitely better than the one I replaced, though. I'm still a little disappointed that I have to practically keep my laptop plugged in just to be able to use it for longer periods. Hope this helps!
