*2 Based on tests conducted using variables of system speakers versus headphones, volume level and screen brightness level.

Hint

Battery duration may vary depending on the type of content being played or usage conditions such as screen brightness and environmental factors. As battery ages, anticipate lower battery duration.

Estimating the battery charge time

When using the supplied battery pack, it takes approximately 2 hours and 20 minutes to fully charge the battery using the AC adaptor after the battery has run out.

Hints

Charge in a temperature of 10° C to 30° C/50° F to 86° F. Charging may not be as effective in other environments.

Charging may take longer when the system is turned on during charging.

Battery pack life

The battery pack has a limited lifespan. Battery duration will decrease with repeated usage and age. If the battery duration becomes extremely short, it may be time to replace the battery pack.
