How long will it hold a charge if you rarely light cigarettes? Does it hold a charge for a month, two, three?

After fully charging the unit, I used it to light about ten cigarettes, then the LED would shine red. Needed a charge about every 6-10 hours.

I have had it for a couple of months. Holds a charge for about an hour and a half. No other problems noted so far.

Hello 'Bama.From a fully charged state, it will last 4-6 hours while "operating fully". A setting allows you to set the time that elapses b/4 it goes into "sleep mode" from 5-60 minutes. If I am in a vehicle where the cigarette lighter is not working, I use a portable "pocket juice" source which last about 3-4 hours.PS: I drive a 'limo for the super rich" part time and there is no room for error in what I do. My Magellan has served me very well. I recommend it.

it will but wont last as long, a slow charge is better for that type of battery, I got mine an charged it jumped 1 pickup [completely dead] an 2 cars [lights left on] a month later an still is half charged, I liked new type of battery in this, have gone thru a lot of other jumpers because left on battery I jumped to charge it, good luck, mines working ok. that's why it didn't come with cig plug, just usb plug.

Definitely months. I bought mine Sept 2014. I never used it. Never charged the batteries. Then needed it Mar 2015 - 6 months later - and it worked! This was without ever charging it. So whatever charge the batteries came with lasted 6 months. So I can definitely say the charge lasts for months.

It lasts about a month. However, you can unplug it at times you feel it's not needed. Then it'll last correspondingly longer.

No it will hold a charge for a couple of months. There is a check light that will light green if it's charged when you press the check button.

I have mine sitting for a couple of weeks and it still holds a charge. Left it with 4 bars (lights) and still holds that much even after a couple of weeks.

It just totally depends on how long you want smoke. Realistically I get about 3.5 hours out of my 12 inch which is perfect for most anything. You can over smoke something. The only thing I do that is longer is cheese. I found a trick you might consider. When its almost burnt out just pick it up with a glove and refill it and it will burn back the other direction. Cool product !

I've had my lamp for 6 months. I've never tested the battery for time duration, but it definitely longer than 2 hrs. If I use it a lot, I plug it up whether it needs it or not, just so I'll have it bright for the next use. Also pay attention to the recharge instructions. It's pretty tough, I use it for MIG welding as my shop isn't well lit and my vision isn't as good at 60 as it once was... HTH, Russ

Around 1 month, and I use it daily. Howere, sometimes, the led light in front keep flashing, then the battery will last for a couple of days only.

It can last at least 45 min., longer if it's not a continuous run. I have small areas to do,so I would be turning it off & on. I did notice the charge doesn't last too long if you have to keep it on for heavy weed growth. I like it because it's light too. Good luck.

With this type of battery, the key is to discharge it before recharging. I've got well over 400 "burn hours" of my lamp now and it still holds a charge perfectly. When it's fully charged, I unplug it and burn it for a while, then let it sit until the charge is almost exhausted.

I would guess several hours, I didn't keep it in constantly after a charge, but using it 20-50 minutes at a time a few times a week, it lasted over a month for me.

No, it's not, but it certainly burns much better than all the others we've tried. We use it almost every night to light the 12 tealights on our dining room table candelabra. It'll light all 12 without having to click & relight. A lighter lasts 2-3 months.

The instructions say it needs a 6-8 hour initial charge and then you are good for a 1-2 hour charge per month. As far as charging after using it, the instruction list a duration of how long to keep the device on an assailant to move them from pain (1 sec) to loss of balance and muscle control (5 sec). The sound and light display after a 1 second test would make me think you can use it more than once before it is out of juice.

For your first charge, I believe the mfg recommended overnite. I have had mine since last Christmas. I put it on charge when the orange lite comes on and forget about it. I am guessing that about three hours and the light is out and the charge is done. It lasts about 5 - 6 days and time to recharge.
