I don't use it much so a charge usually lasts a week. Since I have a 100 decibel hearing loss, this phone doesn'talways give me enough volume for my needs but IT IS THE ONLY CELL PHONE ON WHICH I HAVE EVER BEEN ABLE TO HEAR ANYTHING. I highly recommend it to anyone with a high hearing loss but I feel that most users with a lower level of loss than mine, will have unacceptable difficulty with maneuvering through the menu unless they are unusually adept at using such a device. There is no owner manual that comes in the box but you can find it on line.

Hi Darlinda, I turn the phone off when I go to bed, I don't text. Saying that, a charge will last me 4-5 days. I purchased it for it's volume and it really does perform as stated. If you have a hearing problem you won't be disappointed.

Have no idea. Didn't keep it long enough to test that issue. Software / interface was way too buggy for our purposes. I do NOT recommend buying this phone.

I use mine almost every day, and haven't changed battery yet. Bought mine eight or nine months ago. :-)

Hi, battery is okay more than 5 hours actually on standby, but when gps is on, am not sure because i have not tried running for 5 hours. I might try using it in my bike and will give you feedback. You can look for reviews of professional athletes, i've seen some very good reviews. Its cheap and i love it.

Ah, time change. Twice every year. I had enough trouble with this one that I wrote it down on a sticky note and put it on the CD door. You enter Standby Mode by pressing AND HOLDING the Function/Standby Button (on the unit or remote); I believe it takes about 2-3 seconds to go into Standby Mode. This is mentioned in the manual under Operation&gt;Radio&gt;Step 5. The clock setting instructions are just above the Radio instructions. You will find a copy of the manual at http://www.craigelectronics.com/site/pdetails.php?id=167. Click on the gray Manual button to view or download the PDF file. The manual is small so you will have to zoom in. As a tip, I Google the model number of anything I buy, download the PDF manual and save them in a folder named TECH. After I gathered a lot of them I created sub folders for Audio, Auto, TV, Etc. I hope this helps.

I haven't been using this phone for awhile now. But if i could remember correctly, the battery lasted like a week or two on standby on full charge. I bought this as a back-up just in case if my main phone breaks.

Been getting about 14-16 months of battery life. Once you start the battery change, the manual states clearly you have a minute to change the batteries without losing any programming. It takes about 15 seconds for the swap-out.

When it is fully charged, it lasts about a week, and then the battery loses one bar. I presume it can go a month and be just about ready to "die." It never actually "turns off" otherwise--the clock display is always on. But this is just in standby mode, without using the features.

Actually this item can support 4-5 hours stand-by status and 3 hours for normal use. But if watching online videos or playing online games, it may about 2 hours. The battery life depends on how you use it.

As far as I know, there is no true "stand-by" mode. The device is either on or off. I've been able to get a full day's usage when on and when off, it can probably could last more than a week's time. I use mine sparingly and find that, at the lower end of usage, I'm only charging it on a weekly basis. Now, I DO turn the device off whenever I'm not using it. So right before I head out, I turn it on (sometimes I forget and turn it on while out) and then I turn it off as soon as I'm back home or in an area that provides free WiFi. My wife uses hers much more often and has the device on during much of the day. By the end of the day, the device is need of charging. Hope this helps.

I have had two of these units for 5 or more years and neither has required a battery change. The battery is in the switch only, not the part that plugs into the electric. I use one of them (the one in the pantry) several times a day so they must not use much power. The battery is only used for an instant when you switch it so should last for a very long time.

Hi, the stand by mode is about 100hr. If play the music, it's about 2-3 hours.

In my experience used as a backup for a house alarm system this type of battery has lasted for at least 3-4 years or more. I try to change it, though, in 2 to 3 years before it needs replacement.

I have my candle on at night for a couple of hours, couple of days a week. Bought 2 - 3 months ago, and still no battery change. If I remember correctly, they are LED lights, so should last through the wedding (and divorce :) ).

I have not had to replace the battery yet. I use it about 30-40 minutes 3-4 times per week. I have had it for about 7-8 to months. I have no complaint on that issue.

Well... It depends, I use rechargables and quantums. They seem to last a while, now I don't have to best sense of time so with that being said maybe two weeks. I owned beats studio and I'd have to change them every two or three weeks. They last a long time, I'll just say that XD unless you forget to turn them off or you use them like a crazy amount of time

I've had mine for a few months now and ive let it go from full charge to dead a couplde times to keep the battery maintained. I'd say an estimate of 7-8 hours on standby i.e. on but no real processes. Maybe longer than that. I do know that under stressful procedures i.e. multiple processes running such as a gaming client, chat system, word processor, internet, spotify etc it goes from full battery to no battery in 3 hours or less. This is just based on what I've had. Take it with a grain of salt I guess.

I've had this for months but I don't read every night. It's still going strong for me. Just realize the batteries are going to have to be replaced eventually. If I had to guess, I'd bet the batteries would run constantly for 48 hours and still be useable.
