does the battery really last for 24 hours?

We bought the Altec Lansing iM-237 Orbit for our 11-year-old daughter last Christmas. Although, I can't say whether the batteries last for a 24-hours of non-stop play, I can tell you that so far we haven't had to replace the batteries that came with the speaker.

I use rechargeable Sanyo Eneloops. I've never used the speaker for 24hrs straight. Using around the house and on my bike, though, I would say that one could go 24 hrs on one set of batteries. It uses 3 AAA, so carrying extras would be easy. The LED power on light goes from green to red when the batteries are low.

YES, if you use a fresh, quality batteries. If you aren't timing it, it will last even longer!

It really depends on what you're listening to, what volume and what kind of batteries you're using. I would say 24 hours straight is awfully optimistic, but MIGHT be technically possible at low volume with something like talk radio.I take this canoeing and get a solid eight hours before changing batteries at high volume using a little MP3 player. It's not booming sound or anything, but you'll definitely notice when the batteries start to get weak as the audio gets fuzzy.

Apparently it does, because I use the speaker every day and don't have to replace the (three AAA) batteries for weeks. Of course, I'm using it to listen to audio books--NOT music.

Maybe not 24 but it last a long time for triple a batteries. Teens take this speaker to the beach everyday

We use it a lot but not sure 24 hours yet? I do like it a lot as it is a good sound for a little unit.

No issues with the battery. I haven't checked how close I get to 18 hours but I know it is way, way more than 1.5 hours of non-stop use

Joseph, I've never gone 24 hrs w/o a charge but the light lasts a long time. I run it on stone mode which I sense consumes lots if battery(while riding for safety) and it lasts for 3-4 hours no issue. I often do that 2 days in a row and then connect to the charger after the second ride. There is no "meter" telling you where you are on the charge and it's better to have and not need than to need and not have. Finally, a bunch of my buddies have the same light and it works well for everyone in my group.

No, it does not. And to give you an idea, the water lasts about 24 hours (or less).

Usually around 6-8 hours. I've never had the battery die on a full days use.

I don't think it's more than a couple of hours, from a drained battery. But I'm not 100% sure. Definitely not an all day thing though.

I may not be the best test case for this but I can say it lasted me the entire week on vacation and had 20% of the battery life left after 7 days. I probably used it much less than the average user so I am sure your results will vary depending on usage. I would guess it would last at least the entire day under normal use.

No it does not. It must be turned on. But, the good thing is that battery last for more than 24 hours. and get charged in less than 20 mins

It only lasts a 2 - 2 1/2 hours MAX for me. And I have my computer on the settings to maximize the battery life. Very disappointing.

Are the 6 charging cycles supposed to be 12 hours? After my first 12-hour charge, the battery lasted for well over a week and I left it on all day and night. I let it go down to 20% then did a regular charge which was only 2 hours or so. The battery dropped to 81% in one day with minimal use. I didn't even leave it on the whole day.

I charged it for 24 hours, also keep it on the charger after each use as it's used daily at my shop to jump off cars.

The battery lasts for about 4 hours. The screen does have its own light. If that's what your are asking?

It depends on what a full day is. My battery only last a couple hours of non-constant shooting.

I'm not sure of the official answer. I have been able to keep it on for a whole weekend without using it much. I have also been able to talk for several hours. I have not yet completely drained the battery, so I don't know if it could go longer or not.
