comment
" ...  The battery life is excellent, with very close to 24 hrs of play time off of a full charge (I've never actually run it for that long between charges, but I've gone a week or so without charging it while using it for 2 or 3 hours each day).  ...  "

" ...  Anker's official documentation lists the battery at 4400 mAh, but using a 1Ah charger and charging it after using it so long that the battery is empty, it takes almost six hours to charge it, meaning the battery that is in mine is somewhere between 5500 and 6000 mAh.  ...  "
