How long will this device operate running 1, 2, &amp; 3 speakers with the 4 AA batteries? The manual says "a very long time."

This can be "hard wired" to an existing low voltage line. Considering if you can't of that there is no onstant battery draw its only for a couple of seconds.

I've had mine about a month now and I've used them for at least 20-30 hours while in the backyard on battery power. The sound is good, the range I am using is about 50 feet with minimal attenuating materials between (walls, doors, etc). I'm not sure how long the batteries will last. You can probably do the calculations based on average current draw and the capacity of C sized cells.

On a fresh set of 2-AAA alkaline batteries, I managed to get close to 50 hours of listening time, over the course of about 2 months. Completely blew me away. Before that, I tried a set of the more-expensive Energizer Lithium batteries, and I only got about 25 hours out of them.

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!!

It takes 2 AA batteries and my battery life has gone for about 2 years without ever turning mine off. I have left the batteries in and the switch to "on" the whole time and it has taken 2 years to require replacement.

It's powered by four AA batteries they work extremely well and from my experience they power from 6 to 12 months that's what I've known prior to purchasing one

that actually maeand that if you install four 18450 Li Ion batteries in a proper holder and a plug that fits then (or solder them together, yourself) you would be able to get this device running for up to eight hours off batteries...

It powers earphones only, but will power any speakers that have built in amplifiers, such as computer desktop speakers. I've never completely drained the batteries, I always recharge after plane trips. But I'd say they likely will last about 24 hours continuous use.

Do you mean 4 speakers, each speaker needs 50W power? If yes, then the answer is "No", it can not. If 4 speakers total power need is 50W, then it can do it and will power a 50W audio system for around 2 hours.

AA, we change Batteries every other week for our weekly 3 hour Meeting. Batteries are solid for 5 hours. When Audio gets fuzzy, it's not Volume control but Batteries require changing. As another commented, we're now trying en-loop Batteries. Don't know yet if that's the answer. These Mics provide excellent coverage for us in a Church Fellowship Hall! Hope that helps!

The speakers do need batteries (AA's), but the unit doesn't eat batteries if you remember to turn it off.

Not sure. I used it on/off for 4 hours. It last longer than my cell phone battery used as the music source.

I bought one and it lasted for about 3 hours; I power two 8 ohm speakers with it and was not using it heavily. In general these amp power outputs are highly overrated. Maybe they somehow get a peak performance for about a millisecond, but other than that, there is no way you can blow out your speakers with this unit.

I have not run mine on battery, but would expect that it will depend on the type of battery you use and also would expect it to run as long as a radio would run on the same batteries. It is the same principle - on to recieve a signal and to play the signal through the speaker.

At full volume, it will run at least 5 hours. That's the longest we have used it, so it may go longer. I was told volume levels are affect the length of battery life. Lower volumes will increase battery life.

Great question, thanks for asking. The manufacturer suggests a battery life of 5 to 7 hours of continuous play. Since the volume setting affects battery life, the higher the volume the shorter the battery life. For example, I get over 7 hours of play

its last till you turn it off or batteries go dead, i think it plays like 12 different tunes but there only like 30 secs long and they repeat over and over its works good , and yes it spins, only down fall is that its a bit loud there is no volume control, i put tape over speaker to muffle it.
