Approx. 2 hours. Under 4, that's for sure. But, the last time I tried to use it, I had it charged via USB and it only went to 3/4s. Okay, fine. I turned it off since I wasn't going to use it. When I turned it on again, the battery showed it was drained. The 'cell picture' showed nothing. As a test, I played it and waited to see how long it would last. About a minute later, the player turned off on its own.
I think it's time to say adios to this MP4 player. 'Time to look at brand names again. |
Sounds like you have a 1st gen nano clone. Their batteries are pure crap. But brand names aren't a guarantee of good battery life, nor is unbranded players a guarantee they will die in 2 hrs. The Glacier, with its nokia battery, has respectable playing time (around 8hrs, or something). The irIver Clix, a brand name, has a rated play time of 25hrs. But... if you don't charge it ever day, its about one hour a day for 3 days until its dead. That's about the life of a 1st gen nano clone battery, but at the price of a name brand player.
