Once fully charged, the battery lasts at least 8 hours of continuous use under average conditions (moderate surrounding noise and standard amplification settings). This performance can be extended if the glasses are turned off when amplification is not needed, or when the surrounding environment requires less amplification and/or noise reduction. • When not in use, your glasses can maintain a charge for about 6 days • For 1 year and a half, you’ll have 500x battery cycles before it starts to gradually lose its charge • After 2 and a half years (around 1,000x battery cycles), the battery performance is still expected to be above 80%
