how much playing time on the batteries before having to recharge?

I think 3-4 hours. I mostly use Duracell because I can't wait for charger. Hope this helps!

3 hours max. Mine usually take 2 hours to recharge, but I don't run them all the way down.

It usually take a couple hours to charge and lasts for about 8 hours. I believe charging and playing at the same time does slow the charge

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.

It depends on which charger you use. A range would be 2-8 hours. I don't wait for the batteries to be fully drained. It doesn't harm these batteries to be recharged if you notice that your flash light is not as bright as it was after a recharge.

That depends on many factors such as age of battery, outside air temperature, and extra weight due to add-ons. In general, you can expect between 6 to 8 minutes. It's very important to notrun the battery down below 3.70/3.74 volts per cell.

I use the batteries on my daughters leapster & it takes about 2 hours to fully charge unless it's really drained, then it takes about 3 to 4 hours to fully charge.

Correct. Search for "np-f" and you'll find the needed batteries. With the large ones (about $20), you'll get about 5 hours before needing to recharge.

I re charge between each round, not sure how long it would go without charging, my guess would be six hours maximum.

Less than an hour. And the run time is such that this is a welcome break. Actually I have 2 batteries and they keep me going as long as I can go.

One or two hours at most. The worst thing is to run them all the way down, then put on the charger and forget about them. If you will look on Amazon. Under some or the batteries, they give you the do's and don't of how to get the most life out of your batteries.

Hello Bill, yes it is rechargeable I normally get about 7 to 10 days of play from mine. 2 hours a few days during the week and a good 7 to 8 on the weekends.

Hi, are you asking how long the batteries last before they need to be recharged, or how long the batteries last before they are no longer rechargeable?

Sharon, there is nothing in the instructions advising against charging and playing at the same time. I tried it for a few minutes and it worked fine.The batteries should play for 12+ hours, so that gives you a lot of playing time before needing to recharge.

This is hard to give a definite answer to. The louder the volume the shorter the battery life. Typically I get six to ten hours. The beauty part of this device is that the battery isn't built in. I personally ordered a couple extra batteries off of eBay for $3 each. This helps to keep the music going for when recharging isn't an option. Good luck. You'll love this unit. We do!!

Not really sure about the actual "recharge time". The balls glow via something similar to 'day glow paint', so I'm guessing they'll start glow again from 5 to 20 minutes after re exposure to light. But the longer they are exposed, the brighter and longer they will glow--so, an hour or two works best for me.
