The battery once full (green) charged a smartphone no problem. It only brought my tablet (a Nexus to ~60%.) On a partly sunny to sunny day, it seemed to take 6 or 8 hours to get to green so basically all day but it depends on how much sun you have.

I used it while backpacking, and hung the solar charger from my backpack to let it charge during the day while hiking. At the end of the day, I connected my phone, and it took about an hour to charge it up. Battery life lasted me more than a day, for photos and onboard apps, using the phone in airplane mode to conserve power.

Battery life? I guess is like any other battery, it has a finite number of charges but with good care I guess it can last a long time. The battery charges in approx 2-3 hrs if you are using a wall outlet, and about 10 hrs in direct sunlight using the solar panel.

I don't know how long the battery life is , it does take awhile to charge your device but it does charge it, ,it charged my phone all night , charged my shuffle in a few hours, it even received a charge it self from grey skies.

With good sun about 8 hrs for a full charge. I pre-charge mine w/my phone charger before I head out though.

Well... I can't say how many charges they'll take, but the first two charges of mine have lasted over 20 hours (I think the first charge was around 30 actually) so I don't think you'll have to worry about them dying on you anytime soon... at least I hope not. If you're really worried, just go and get the older glasses that use watch/button batteries... that's the safest bet, I guess.

The manufacturer, Streetwise, recommends 8-12 hours of charging. It should be working by now. If not, the manufacturer offers a lifetime warranty. However, make certain it is not user error. If it turns out to be user error, they will charge a restocking fee and they will not pay any of the shipping. It will have a master switch on the tail end - near the charging port. Make sure that is turned on. Then, check the flashlight/stun gun switch. All the way back is off. The center position should turn on the flashlight. The forward position puts it in stun gun mode, then you'll need to push the stun gun activation button. Once you can be completely certain it isn't working, then make arrangements to return it for a warranty replacement.

I beleive the less expensive one is not the extended life batt.....you want the extended life batt....the one that comes with the unit only runs it for a 2 to 2.5 hours....not long enough....;the extended will do 4 hrs. I usually take both with just in case...

Depends I have about 3 to 4 hours on batt live at one time, it can be up two 6-7 if you are not using a lot of apps! Some people say 12 hours(hard to believe though.)

I didn't try AA bateries in this one, but I use the F550 and last for abou 3 hours, and also by accident I left my NP-F770 on at lower point from midnight to 6 pm to the next day when I come back the light still on, and put to recharge the batery and it shows 50% of charge wich is prety good.

Weeks for sure, but the charge wears off quickly. I think there are better batteries & chargers out there. I've been thinking of replacing them with the most premium ones I can find, and getting a high quality charger...................

Ps, I read a post after I wrote that any charger will work on Duracell's. My comment to that persons claim Duracell sucks, not true. I use AA/AAA BATTS AND I LOVE THEM. I use them on several (high demand) items they last super long. From video controllers to my house phone (1 full charge will last about a week, only put I on the cradle once a week)!

I'm not sure. I go for months without charging. I may use it for 30 minutes at times. My guess is 4+ hours on low beam and 2+ hours on high beam.

I have not tried that because the batt. Lasts so long, but you should be able too.

You need a new battery pack! The battery charge should normally last for at least a week.

It hard to say but I leave mine on charge the day prior to using for a period of time. I can get about 7hrs playtime.

The battery should last several years I am hoping. The charge on the battery is more like 5-7 hours depending on what you are running.

I agree with Mjolnir, and I have the Optimus G Pro. While I've only had it for a few months, as long as you let it fully charge(leave it on for a little after it's at 100%), then it will last 3-7 days generally.

If it is fully charged as you said check through the different channels it has on the controller (use new AA bat of course) .if this does not improve your dilemma ,than I'm afraid the battery Is not good I would request it from the supplier if still under warranty.. I hope I helped you ought

Ray, I asked the same question and never got an answer. The first time charged, I let it go for 8 hours and the red light never went out. If I use it for any length of time, I charge it for at least 8 hours. I have it marked on my calender every 4 months to charge the battery and most all the time, it does not need the charge at all. This is the best lantern I ever owned. This is what worked for me. I hope it helps.
