how many hours does the radio play with the 6 D batteries

Daniel - Sorry for not getting back to you right away. I don't get to the computer every day. I have not put batteries in my newest radio yet. However, I ran my previous Superadio on batteries when I was without power due to a major snow storm a few years ago. I ran the radio for about four days on "D" cells and they did not run down. That was about 30 hours of run time.Hope that answers your question.

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

Part of this answer is going to depend on the quality of battery you buy. here is my experience. I used Energizer batterys for the week of my vacation. The radio was on for about three to five hours for five days (20 hours or so) When I got home I took the batterys out and went back to using the cord because the radio stays in the house. i tested the batteries and they still showed an almost full charge so I put them with my spare flashlights. I would guess that the batterys would have lasted better than twice the time I used them for.

I can't tell you in exact hours, but it appears to be a very long time. Much longer than any other battery operated radio that I know of. Six D batteries makes the radio very heavy, but since I use it as a table radio and not as a portable, it does not matter to me. I mostly keep it plugged into an AC outlet.

I'm sorry that I can't be of help. The blind Ranger who used the radio was so dissapointed that he gave it away after several hours. He was unable to hear any of his favorite radio stations he used to get on the earlier model.

Guess I cant really answer that question. I put 6 D rechargables in it and have several fishing trips in with and it still has'nt used up the batteries, so its a long time. I would say I have over 24 hours of use on them and still going strong.

The first 3 or 4 times a bit longer, but after it is the same as the one that came with the radio. I personally will buy another for a back up. I have 3 radios and they are on 9 to 11 hours a day. Side note, fully charge the battery when you get it, then run it down completely before you recharge it. This helps the battery last longer over all.

On fresh batteries it will run for 8 hours a day for a few months. When at home we plug it in. It is small, has lovely sounds and we've had it happily for about 5 years.

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

I gave this as a gift. I listened to it this weekend and was impressed with its audio. Battery life is so-so, 6 hours. Otherwise, nice piece of electronics.

playing it lasted about 6 hours and stand bye maybe 2 days. the one i had suddenly dies about 6 months ago, it turns on, able to change volume and stations but no sound.

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!!!

This player takes double A batteries,and the length of the life seems to be around 10-15 playing hours i would guesstimate,good unit worth the price.Stay far away from the Sony unit not worth buying and hard to place the batteries.Insignia easy to replace em in.

On a set of batteries? Probably, I would say 8 hours. It's not very loud. It's good for home use.

Great question, thanks for asking. The manufacturer suggests a battery life of 5 to 7 hours of continuous play. Since the volume setting affects battery life, the higher the volume the shorter the battery life. For example, I get over 7 hours of play

We still have not had to replace batteries yet. My wife played with just 4 cubes until we got a replacement for the cube that came out of the box with a dead battery. We got a replacement for the dead battery around 1 Jan, and she has been playing with all 5 cubes since. We are still using the original batteries, but I have no clue how many actual hours of playing time.Has anybody tried the inexpensive batteries that are available on Amazon yet? (See 4 Jan post above.)ww

I just got the radio last week. I charged it from my laptop USB connection. I believe the manual stated it will run about 10 hours at medium volume.It just has a cell phone battery. So if you are looking for something that runs for month on battery alone then this may not be for you.The box had a flyer from the distributor, offering a charger for $9.95. They send it for free if you review the radio.

Quite a while. It's just a AAA battery. When the radio starts coming through its time to change it.

This item only includes the radio. There are batteries available that range in the hour per use.

It has a 6 hour battery life. It is an internal rechargeable that is non-replaceable.

Unit is battery powered and battery life is good with quality batteries used. I think battery life will in part be determined by volume and of course time used.So far I am pleased with my radio after 3 months of use

I'm still on my first set of batteries I put in it (2 AAs) and I'm amazed they've lasted this long. I've been using it off-and-on both day and night. The other night I fell asleep with it on and expected the batteries to be dead in the morning. They're still going! I turn the radio off when commercials come on so I'm sure that helps, but still, I've been pleased with battery life for this radio.
