How has your battery life been? How much talk time can you get from a single battery charge?

I found this headset was horrible - was the second one I purchased & returned both within 2 weeks of purchases - was hoping I got a dud headset first time - but both of them were the exact same. it dropped calls, had horrible static & was hard to hear the callers voice & the bluetooth would disconnect constantly DURING A CALL!! Callers reported hearing crackling noise & would ask me to call them back!! Not good for a my business! but during those 2 weeks where I tried to get the headset to work - I would say the talk time was 5 plus hours - I just couldn't get it to work well enough to truly determine the length of talk time. Sorry I'm not better help.

Great! Hard for me to say, as I work in an office and use it quite a bit during the day but put it on the charger usually during lunch. I have gone almost all day without charging it I believe. I have 5 of these in my office, one for each of us. Great earpiece.

I can't tell you how long the charge on the headset will last, but I did have several calls which lasted at least an hour without any problem.

I purchased new batteries (2 as they were so inexpensive & I plan to keep my phone for a while) after owning my phone for about 16-18 months. The original battery was lasting only half a day. I use my phone primarily for checking e-mails & some calls, very little online time. The new battery lasts all day or close to it with my usage. I would guess - as another reviewer posted - that you might get 4 hours of internet use. Buy a couple & switch them out. BTW... batteries losing the ability to stay charged is normal for any rechargeable battery, not just the HTC or other smart phones. Another option is buying the double size battery. Just a thought.

I have never had that issue, as we leave the phone always on the base which is always plugged in, and then take it off and walk around to talk. I have talked at one time more than an hour many times and have never have lost the charge.... so to answer.... more than an hour at least! Best I can do to answer you. Good luck! We love the phones, by the way.

Hi. I live in a roomy townhome and one charge does drawing, dining, kitchen on level 1, stairs and 2 bedrooms and corridor on level above. I can do whole house in 1 charge with some battery still left-over. After 30-40 days of use, there has been no problem with battery life. Please do also read my review for some more info. Best wishes...

I'm getting a good 8 hours of continuous music playing time from one charge. The standby/off battery life last a long time it doesnt drain at all.

Poor, it reduces quickly after a few calls and messages. I have many features turned off most of the time, and can still see 10 and 20% battery life reductions in under an hour. Same for lots of surfing. I always have a charger with me. I am curious if maybe a new battery would improve the situation, however I have olny owned the phone for 3 months.

Mine has been awesome. Charged it the first time and took it deer hunting and used it a lot without it going out or needing another charge. Have been using it here at the house to do chores in the evenings. I just charged it back up last weekend. I would comfortly say I have had it on for well over 6 hours on the initial charge. The last week here as been below zero and I have had to use it out working and it has not fadded at all. I'd ask for a replacement if at all possible.

I have never completely drained the battery in 1 use . I usually charge them up at night whether the battery is low or not . I would say you can get at least a good 4 hours out of them , beyond that ,I can't really give you an honest answer. We haven't had them long enough To experiment . Between my 2 kids and I ,we have no complaints and we each have a pair they are not the best headphones you will ever own , but they are incredible for the price and sound quality.I think it may also depend on what your expectations are , we use them to listen to music and watch movies .

The battery seems to last all day for users. They cradle at night for recharge. The calls are lasting 10 minutes on average and maybe 40-50 calls per day. The systems are about 2 years old and a couple need battery replacements, but once replaced the "new" battery life is back.

I would say there is no set answer to this question, the actual battery life that you experience will depend on your usage and maintainence of the device. My battery usually lasts about 8 days at about 2 hours or so a day, so about 16 hours roughly. YMMV!

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

In standbys or light use such as occasionally checking emails and answering phone calls the charge last me all day (14hrs). I get that with the original battery also. It is important to note that it took about 3 charging cycles to get this performance. Out of the box after original charge I only got 8 hrs, but in my case performance improved after more use. Heavy use gets me about 6-8 hrs depending on what I am doing.

I've actually been getting more than 4-5hrs, as of yet I haven't had the low battery signal and I wear these all day at work and listen to free talk live and freedom feens podcasts back to back to back, when I'm not listening to my sandler training cd's... I'm going to buy a second one though just in-case I do have an extra long day and it does run out... or there is the ability to charge these while in use, so you could just carry an external battery pack with usb charging port if you planned on having a really long day with it... but as cheap and as light as this device is, I think I prefer the second device over the external battery solution!

My battery life's pretty good, if I use it a lot it lasts about a day and a half, usually I don't use it that much so I end up charging about once every two and a half days.

I installed my unit the first of the year and I'm showing about 45% remaining. I don't use the unit all that much but I suspect the connectivity to the base unit (Elan in my case) is the biggest user of battery life. I might try Lithium next go around. I really like the lock/display...

Can't tell you in hours or days, but battery life is really good. We have multiple users so hard to judge.
