how long does a fully charge last?

That's a good question. I'm not exactly sure as we only use it in shorter spurts.

It really depends on how loud you run it. If you run it at a decent level around the house for background, probably about 8 hours. I have found if I use it outdoors for music at an event...about 5. This is akin to gas mileage. If you floor your car all the time, you'll have lower gas mileage than if you drive differently. My rule of thumb is to figure about 3-5 hours on location and you'll be fine. I've never seen it exhaused in 3 but I have in 5, outdoors in the heat, playing fairly loud. Again, at home in the den (if I'm not running another system) you can figure most of the day...probably around 8 hours. This is the best I can tell you. It really depends on how loud you run it.

The unit never even worked. Ordered twice. Two duds. Opted for a Karaoke machine that works great.

A brand new battery can take up to 3 hours to fully charge. After the battery has been charged and depleted to under 5% about ten times, the charge that is held takes about 2 - 2.5 hours to fully charge.

When fully charged it has lasted a whole weeks vacation using it on and off. Not sure in total hours how long I think in the book it states 4 hours.

I'm routinely using it for 3 to 4 hours and still has a charge. Guess I could probably go 4 1/2 to 5 hours. Definitely was a good purchase - at least for how I use my computer.

Probably an hour for a full charge. I finally had to replace my battery because it would not hold a charge. Pull yours out and see if it is bulged in the middle. If so it is bad.

On a full charge Ive found that true to their word that a charge will last the full 11 hrs or more. I have not had a power failure yet.

Hi Julie, when it's fully charged it last for 2 hours. I have to say I'm not a fan of this player...

Every time you charge 100% it will say 7h and I think is pretty close to that. I can safely say that it last more than 5h.

Its a pretty long time. I charge it occasionally, but it has never died on me while I was using it.

Probably about five or six hours. The flashing lights will indicate a full charge.

How long you have to charge it depends on the charger you are using. I use a wall plug charger and I would give it at least 8 hours for a full charge. On a computer, I would say at least all night or more. I have had mine in my locker at work for weeks and it never lost it's charge and still charged my phone.

Perhaps an hour when I got it to charge it to a full charge and the battery last about 6 hours until next charge.

It will charge to 100% in less than 2 hours. A full charge lasts me up to 5.5 hrs, continuously playing music.

To charge fully, the same as your phone, maybe 3 hours max... depends on how much you use too.

How long did it take you to charge this up to full capacity upon receiving?

The instructions say 90 minutes but I reach a full charge in less time. I don't wait until it is totally run down though. I heard that running it fully down is not good for it. I've been totally satisfied with it.

I've never had it take more than 3 hours from completely empty, but it depends on what you're charging it with. As for how long it holds the charge, mine has held a charge for a couple weeks and any loss in capacity was not apparent to me. It may hold it longer than that, but I have used it so frequently that it has never been left alone longer than that. Make sure you charge it fully before first use, the longer the better for that. I believe the other answer was either a defective product or not fully charged the first time, because of how fast they lose the charge and how short their charging time is.
