      The iBT81 connects to your phone via Bluetooth. Any audio played on the phone will play through the speakers. This unit is not compatible with Google Home. Please review the user manual iHome

      The battery can last up to 10 hours at moderate volume levels. Keep in mind. the longer the lights are on and the higher the volume, the faster the battery will be depleted (after a full 3 hours charge). If you would like to have your unit evaluated, please contact our Support Team.
