[QUOTE="Blitzfike, post: 2451085, member: 807"] This.. Three days even on just receive would be pushing the limits. A cheap solar charger would keep it going for weeks though. I have found that if I don't leave my handheld on all the time, it will last three days. The problem lies with busy areas, when it hears a signal, the squelch opens and the audio output starts eating the battery. If you leave it on and scanning, the battery goes even faster. Transmit on low power doesn't eat battery much, but high power will deplete the charge rather quickly. The more you use it, the faster the charge is depleted. [/QUOTE]
