How long will this device keep a full charge if we want to just keep it in our bag or in our car for emergency use?

I'm not sure. I used to charge a smartphone with this device after having it stored a month or more, and the smartphone charged up about 70%.

At least two weeks. I once charged it fully, unplugged it, put it in my backpack, and did not use it for about two weeks, and it seemed to have maintained its full charge even after that whole time not being used. Just remember not to have anything plugged into the USB port when it's not in use, otherwise it will drain all of its power by itself (keep it unplugged unless you want to charge your device).

Sorry, Brandon: I got this item for my son and he lost it; so I don't know how it worked or when it is fully charged! Sorry I can't help answer this question.

I mostly use mine for long trips overseas, not every day or kept in the car, so I had't really thought about. Just checked mine in the drawer where I left it fully charged when I got back from a trip in mid-July. It's still fully charged! Guess a pretty long time then! Hope that helps!

Hello. Based on usage a full charge should last between a couple weeks of non-usage to a few days of extensive use. Thank you

It's a lead acid battery just like your car or motorcycle. A full charge will last around 2-3 hours. I always plug my son's in after play and let it charge overnight. I believe it only takes 4 or so hours to bring it from the dead back to the living.

Hello, the device built in a rechargeable battery, but need to charging the device when you use it. The battery just can be used in emergency.

On fully charged 3AA batteries in the car it'll last for about a 2-3 day's of heavy use. I would recommend rechargeables.

i have never tested the last time of the full charge. i do know that it will perform after 12 hours of medium use.

Hmm - I don't know that I've ever really checked the amount of time it takes to go from completely dead to a full charge. I normally just plug it in to an outlet and leave it for an hour or two and then it's good to go. You can also use the USB to charge it on your computer - which is nice. It's really a nice little charger - I use it all the time on trips, or if I know I'm going to be away from the house all day I'll keep it in my pocket just as a safety measure in case my phone battery dies.

Long term I cannot answer your question, because I just recently bought it. But the one I have has kept a full charge for over two weeks when not being used. Hope this helps.

I have found that a full charge will last for 1/2 to 3/4 of an hour if used constantly for the whole time. Also depends on how fast you run it.

I've never timed it, but it seems to be only a couple of hours to go from dead to full charge. Keep in mind this device can be used while charging which will likely slow the charge down.

No. These are rechargeable units, so all you need to do is charge it on a regular outlet and take it out to your car. The charge will last about 10 minutes continuously.

On a full charge, the parent unit can last a good 10 hours. We have frequently left it unplugged overnight without realizing it and it was still charged in the morning when we found it. I have also found that the less your depend on the battery, the longer your charge will last when you do need it.

I have mine plugged into an electrical socket all the time. I bought it for when there is a power failure at night. When the house power goes off, the flashlight will turn on. Not only will I be able to find it, but I will have light on high for around 2 hours and if I keep it on night lite setting it can last up to 15 hours.For $7.99 it is a great device for safety when emergencies happen. I am not sure how long it takes to charge from the dead state as I have always kept it plugged in since I received it.

I can't answer exactly, because I use it for quick pick ups. I actually have never had it run out of a charge but occasionally I just plug it in.

Self operation of this device is good with fully charged is about 4 to 6 hours depending of the volume.
