How long does the charge really last. I have the original and it only lasts about 3 hrs.?

It is supposed to last at least 8 hours of continuous streaming. Thank you for your patronage.

You are dead on, my experience from new has been the same! Can't recommend this expensive junk.

Mine really match the pic, but it is not robust like the previous -that was not the original- and the charge it is too poor, less than 3 hours. The previous last 4 and even 5 hours.

Do you mean how long does it take to charge? But the hours it last is until you unplug it.

It usually last for 2 hours. You should be able to get a second Battery, even a bigger one.

30 or so minutes to charge. . With continuous use, it stays charged 4 or 5 hours. Actually I've never had them go dead on me if that means anything

I threw mine out because I could never get it to charge again after the first time. The first time, you should charge it for about 12 hours.

No, it lasts closer to 4 1/2 hours on a full charge. I have never gotten more than that out of it.

I don't typically use it for more than 3 hours or so at a time but it seems to hold a charge when not in use pretty well so I would say 6 hours or more would be fair.

Not that long! If it's only working when plugged in, something is wrong. It also holds a charge for quite sometime. I can't remember the last time I charged mine (though I only use it sporadically).

I usually charge overnight and the charge will last for 3 or 4 hours, although I am guessing - I haven't really timed it.

? I have never used it that long. I have let it sit for hours even overnight and it still had charge the next day so I would Think it would last for four hours straight.

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.
