I sold this to one of the guys I work with some time ago. If I remember correctly a set of 2400mhr rechargeable batteries lasted about 8 hrs. it was about the same w/ the Harbor Freight cheapies.

I'm not sure if there is some confusion regarding how it is powered but I don't want to seem like a jackass but it depends. Unit is powered by 4 "AA" batteries (not included), if you use high powered batteries I think you could get 6-12 hours of use at moderate volume. If you use cheap batteries at high volume maybe 3-6 hours, again depends. Friend I bought it for uses the AC adapter, when we used it with batteries (standard alkaline) it lasted 2+ hours without dying, I hope this helps.

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.

Hi Ellen! Sorry for the delayed response. This does not take batteries. It is a wind up music box and I would say it probably it plays about 2-3 minutes at a time. I was happy with this mobile. Hope that helps!!

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.

The standard package comes with a 120v to 12v adapter that plugs into any standard outlet. The boombox will still work with multiple 1.5v alkaline batteries, but lifespan is horrid.

We bought the Altec Lansing iM-237 Orbit for our 11-year-old daughter last Christmas. Although, I can't say whether the batteries last for a 24-hours of non-stop play, I can tell you that so far we haven't had to replace the batteries that came with the speaker.

The specs say it should last about 5 hours, but it's even better than that for me. With my headphones (Bose AE2) on the "blue" setting (bumped-up bass, i.e. high power output), the amp will last a full work day (8 hours). So, for me at least, it's "hours of listening".

I have had mine last for 18 hours, they both have batteries, and are connectable for 1-2 or 3 I have 3 connected. 1 cable into the phone/ipod/computer leads to the speaker (s). Hope this helps, we love ours!!!!!!!

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!!

Around 10 Hours... I bought a spare BL-5C 1000 mah 3.7V battery for $4 online... I listen to it a lot on the beach.. This radio will also run while it is plugged in for charging.

I would like to know that as well. I have the older altec lansing unit which runs for a few days at low volume on 4 AA batteries which makes it great for camping or quad rides.

I had the thing on a medium volume on Saturday, and it wasn't even on a full charge and it was still going when i brought the speaker inside 7-8 hours later. I use it all the time and have yet to use it for enough time for the battery to run out. Amazing battery life.

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.

Hi Malia. I've listened to it 7 hrs straight and battery was still going, and I read that it lasts up to around 12hrs... Which is pretty good fir a portable speaker. It's small but sound is great. Hope that helps.

i have had the battery last about 2 days without a charge. it will also depend on the type and volume level of the music bring played. i listen to bass heavy music fairly loud and 2-2.5 days is what i get.
