Does it only play when in direct sun or does it hold battery from charging in the sun and play at night also?

Hi! Sorry, this went to my junk file :( I LOVE this speaker!!! It charges up quickly and the speaker works really really well. I charged it in the sun a few days ago and it still has a full charge. It plays inside, in the dark, anywhere as long as it has a charge. There is a small light that is blue when there is a charge and red when it needs a re-charge. You can't go wrong with this thing :)

I don't know. mine is placed outside and gets direct sunlight part of the day and is in direct sunlight the rest of the day... and still it only gets enough charge to run every other night.

Haven't had mine that long but it's played hours each day with no problem other than changing batteries. So far, I'm very pleased.

it has batteries that charge during the day and will run at night not sure how long.

It will play until you turn it off, so yes it will. It also has an option to set a timer for it to turn off on it's own but you do not have to set the timer if you want it to play all night.

I have only charged it in direct sunlight and expect it must receive the sun's rays in order to charge. It lasts for days at the lower light setting so you don't have to charge it every day.

Sorry, I honestly don't remember since I bought it awhile ago. I'd contact the seller for that one; however, I do purchase batteries wholesale, and it doesn't need batteries when charged via the sun. Wish I could be more helpful.

No. It comes with an adapter for the the built in rechargeable battery & you can play it while it's being recharged.

There are two charging settings on the player. The setting that I use stops charging the battery at ~90% of full charge. This is supposed to extend the life of the battery although it shortens the life of the charge. In my use I could get about 20 hours of play time out of the charge but if you use it for video, or are constantly using the menu which makes the back light come on or used a different mix of radio and player, your experience could vary significantly from mine.

It's solar powered. Place it in direct sunlight with the solar panel facing towards the sun and the battery will be charged after a few hours.

It has batteries it will play as long as you have it in or batteries die. Good product it works great. Grand son sleeps longer

This device doesn't hold a charge. It simply converts the sun's energy to charge your device when placed in the sun with your device plugged into it. I love this thing.

When the sun hits the panels there is a orange light so as long as it is in sunlight it will but playing music and charging an ipod will decrease the battery life so it will eventually die ur best bet is to plug it in and play music through the aux cable

No, I keep mine plugged in whenever I'm not using it and it still plays for 7 hours or more on battery.

There is an on/off switch under the "cap". You switch it on and put them in the sun. The battery charges with the sunlight. Then when it gets dark the light glows. You leave the switch on all the time. These are made of plastic but very cute in my garden.

No. The device is sealed. You plug it in to charge it. It has an excellent battery life. I played mine for a few hours a day for several days, and I didn't drop below 75%.

It will play all night if you set it that way. or the timer turns it off at 15min, 30 min, 60 min. I also like the voice activated feature.
