Talk Time

With a single full charge, the Savi W445-M will provide up to 7 hours of talk time in narrowband mode. Talk time will be reduced when operating in wideband mode and/or if the headset is used consistently at a far distance from the adapter. The battery can be replaced, even mid-call, giving essentially unlimited talk time. See “Replacing Your Headset Battery
