      Hi Guate,

      Thank you for the review and we do apologize for the inconvenience. The built-in battery life of the speaker depends on how you use it. You can get about 25 hours if the volume level of the speaker is set to 13, the sound effect is set to MEGA BASS. (factory default settings), and the lighting function is set to off. Check this link for more details.
