How long do the batteries last. Can it get through a 2 hour gig?

I use the light for 1 to 2 hers at a time during orchestra rehearsals 1 night per week and church services on Sunday mornings. 1 set of batteries has lasted for about 3 months and I just had to replace them. I think the info that came with the light said they should last about 10 hours of continuous use.

I am sorry but I have not tried the battery system at all, but have only used the lamp whilst plugged into the mains.

I think I did a three hour gig on batteries with no problem. Since then I just run it on the transformers to be safe. But I suspect they will go for much longer on batteries than I tried.

I've played 2 different musicals with about 12-16 performances each and the battery is still working just fine.That's about 80 hours worth of use, I love this light!

I haven't timed the battery life but I use rechargeable batteries and have gone through multiple 2-hour practices on one charge.

Hey tuna, I placed a new set of batteries in, placed it on bright setting and left it on...I had to leave 2.5 hours later and I did not detect any significant degrading in light quality. I've used it at 2 hour gigs with the same results. Hope this helps.

I would say that 2 to 3 hours. You can buy the battery pack and go twice as much.

Using standard batteries, you can expect approximately two hours of battery life

I would not say that, but it did return the GB to its original battery life. I can use mine for a few days now without having to charge it, probably playing 4-5 hours a day. Absolutely worth picking up.

Ha...I guess the one down side...I get about two hours on max performance. I have been thinking about getting a better battery for the laptop (4 hour type or more). However, I need to add my purchase was more for a portable desktop than a mobile computer (tablet, etc...) so it stays plugged in about 85% of the time.

I've had my Lenovo since June and almost exclusively keep it plugged in. I used the battery a couple of times but only for a short period. So, I really can't comment on the battery life. However, I do understand that it's good for only 2 hours or so. I've read other complaints about that. Also, can't comment on the battery replacement issue. Sorry!

Typical charge time from fully drained is about 3 hours. If it doesn't clear during that time, the battery is bad. I ordered 2 of these, both had old manufacturing dates, so they are most likely used and were pulled from recycled units. I powered down both servers (2x 2950), installed both batteries, powered up the servers and the ROMB errors were instantly cleared.

Mine has lasted at least a couple of hours. I haven't needed it longer than that.

Depends on kind of use. I used it for research information on internet for more than 4 hours and even left some power. When I watched videos in youtube, I died in about 3 hours.

Assume that you won't be plugging off the laptop. It lasts about an hour or two, but basically assume you need a power brick if you're travelling.

I used the battery on my last trip and had the camera on for long periods. It last for two days, probably around 8 full hours of use. Bought this as a backup battery.

In my experience, a fully charged battery lasts 7 to 8 hours, depending on how loud you have it and how far from the base station it is.

These units do eat batteries. Be prepared to Replace batteries after about 10hrs of intermittent use. Never had run down during 3hr gig starting out with new batteries. Has good Indicator light that does give you a bit of warning when about to give out. Hope helps

I don't think it's more than a couple of hours, from a drained battery. But I'm not 100% sure. Definitely not an all day thing though.

It works well for an hour or two when it is not plugged in. It will keep working throughout the night with good batteries. The flow is less consistant and it gets worse as time goes on. It works best plugged in.

it depends on the charge of the battery, but usually a fully charge will last 2 hours.
