How long is the battery life for playback?

I think it's rated at 7-8 hours and I would have to say it does at least that. The great thing about them is they tell you once it's down to low battery and starts beeping. Once it starts beeping it last atleast another hour.

The only way to get 3-4 hours out of the battery life is if you've got the Backlight set to Always On, or even to the 20-second mark. The color screen is the biggest energy hog on this iPod; that's why video playback sucks up so much power. Keep the Backlight set to Off, and you'll get the max 12 or so hours if you play just music.

A few hours unless you have the video going the whole time. The video will drain the battery faster.

As long as you want. I have one clip of a school play that is 45 minutes... you can record as long s you have battery power and card space, as far as I am aware.

This player takes double A batteries,and the length of the life seems to be around 10-15 playing hours i would guesstimate,good unit worth the price.Stay far away from the Sony unit not worth buying and hard to place the batteries.Insignia easy to replace em in.

I can listen to a music/radio at work for two days straight (18 hours total) and still have battery life left. I've never tried to go three days without recharging, but I might be able to do so. I have noticed that because of the pause/playback feature, listening to the radio tends to use more battery time than listening to MP3's.

I don't know about the battery life, but the speakers have great volume for their size.

I don't use it for video, but listning to MP3's, I get a lot of hours, I would imagine at least 8 if not more, I've never really timed it. I've been very happy with how long it lasts.

I only use it for short lectures/sermons, about 20-30 minutes, but my understanding is that it will record up to something like 2,000 hours with an added micro-SD card.

Hi there, I used this device to record the full time training session 8-9 hours a day. I did not encounter any issue with battery life and storage capacity. Every night, I connected to the laptop to off load, review the information and verify the quality of recording. Then, used the iPhone USB wall charger to recharge to get ready for the next day. Hope this helps. How much storage capacity you asked? I think it's a few hundred mgb, maybe 200, but I can check it later. The important thing is the low storage of mp3 when it records makes a big different.

I gave this as a gift. I listened to it this weekend and was impressed with its audio. Battery life is so-so, 6 hours. Otherwise, nice piece of electronics.

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

Not sure what you're asking. The stock battery life is about 2 hours (less if Wifi is on). You'll get about that for HDMI playback. Be sure to get the right HDMI type cable (non-ethernet), as the camera tends to be a bit finicky about what it likes to connect to. I've found that it's often easier to use the USB connection instead, if the monitor provides that.

I haven't really watched video off the hdd yet, however I have streamed movies off the net. I'd have to say it gives me a good 5 hours and I suspect a little more even after the battery meter goes to red. It doesn't display battery life in % like my Htc Tilt so it's tough to guess.

Alex, Let me just say that I have recorded very long sessions while turning it on and off repeatedly and never really though, "oh this battery life stinks!" It's simply amazing. Also, I purchsed the 64GB card for it. Basically, I have TONS of movies i have recorded since purchasing it over 2 years ago and STILL haven't pulled them off the card. Good luck.... Case

For continuos recording ( start to finish approximately-3 hours/ randonm pictures and videos, the battery could last up to 6 hours.
