    Is this Battery life typical for Beosound 2

    I get around 5.5hrs - 6hrs before the beeps start then around another 1.5 hrs before dead , so around 7.5hrs, i listen to mp3s at 192 - 256 kbps on average.

    I have not been counting the exact hours, but I think it is the same as mine.

    Mine is about 5 years old, and I think a new battery would be an improvement. How old is yours?

Around: PentaIII, CX100 and MCX35 on ML/MCL + MCL2-A, BeoPort and BL4 on ML, BS3300 + M75 as stand alone, BC6000 + BC600 and BT1100, LC1, LC2, Beo4, Beo5 and BL1000, BS2 and A8, EarSet2, Apron, Coffee mugs, Enamel Bagdes, Bath towel, Keyring, Books, Lots of miniature and the Bottle opener.

    Around the same i expect , bought it yesterday - £55 - bargain!

    I bought one a few years ago and have missed it a lot since i sold it. I think i will get a beosound century / 2000 next.

    Hi doomlordis,

    Glad to hear you bought back a BeoSound 2 Cool and at a very good price too!

    I've been meaning to replace the battery on my BeoSound 2 as it's going through the battery at about the same rate as yours. I'll ask my dealer how much this will cost on the weekend, but from what I remember hearing it isn't unreasonable.

    Happy listening on the go!

    Cost me £40 on my last one, make sure they can do a good job though as the dealer i went to prised mine open with what must have been a knife and scored it around the centre plastic seal.

    with 128Mb SD cards battery life is around 8 hrs, but with 2GB SD cards, battery life is clearly less: around 1 hr shorter.
