Zune Battery Life

Faust · 06-26-2008, 06:58 PM

Recently, I went on a road trip from Georgia to New York. During this trip, I brought my Zune and used it almost constantly, for almost 3 and a half days non stop, before the battery died. My question to the community is,how long have you used your zune before the battery died?

yeah, I love the battery life.
Im not sure of the exact amount of hours I've had it play, but its lasted about 4-5 days like you said before I needed to charge it.

Mine last a while usually. I could care less about the hours it ACTUALLY last though.

I've gone on road trips 2-3hrs and my zune kept playing. The battery lasts really long since I always have the backlight off

my friend's battery died a few weeks ago.
he called customer support at 877-GET-ZUNE, they sent him a new zune for free.

i used my zune constantly on a trip from central illinois to dallas texas and it lasted somewhere around 8-9 hours of constant play. which is pretty damn good

I have wireless turned off my sceen on the darkest setting, tv mode is off and I have the backlight stay on for 5 seconds and usually on a good luck day I can listen to about 7-8 hours worth of podcasts (TWiT, Suckerpunch, few others) and still have time left to listen to some mp3s on the way home.
