I sent it back to B&amp;O and they rebuilt it with a new battery. It is now back to 8-10hrs of life and I am now otating the use of the three units to maximize the battery life. </p> <p>I suggest that you need a new battery.... </p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/236816.aspxTue, 03 Nov 2009 19:40:40 GMT41a2a90c-3a1e-4bd3-b144-3883695a7f38:236816Calvin0https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/236816.aspxhttps://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=13&PostID=236816<p>When I had mine, I used to get 8-10 hours or so at least.&nbsp; I was using it for 45m each way en route to lectures and a bit more, charging once per week or something like that.&nbsp; I&#39;d be surprised if B&amp;O weren&#39;t using an off-the-shelf (ie replaceable) battery though.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/236802.aspxTue, 03 Nov 2009 17:25:41 GMT41a2a90c-3a1e-4bd3-b144-3883695a7f38:236802j0hnbarker0https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/236802.aspxhttps://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=13&PostID=236802<p>I bought a second-hand Beosound 2, but as I use it a lot walking to and from medical school, I tend to wear the battery down quite quickly. This might be because it&#39;s a used unit, but should I be getting more than about 3-4 hours playback from it? Is it possible to either get a new battery fitted by B&amp;O, or better still, have an aftermarket super-battery fitted to boost life a bit?</p> <p>It&#39;s getting a bit annoying having to constantly pop it back on the dock every few days &gt;:|</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
