It is even lower profile than I had envisioned. This is sweet if it lives up to its claims of 12 to 14 hours play time. I cant wait to try this out. Anyone else order a megaboot? Any early results?

Mine is out for deliver today. The big brown truck usually shows up late afternoon.....

With this added piece, the Echo is nearly evrything I wanted (still wish it could BT like its little brother).

How long would it take for a full charge?

Not sure yet. I believe it came partially charged as it didnt tale long for it to fully charge (about an hour maybe). I will know better once I drain it as it still has charge today.

Okay, it ran out of juice after about 14 or 15 hours. Minimal use, probably about an hour of music at voume 4 or 5. Charging now...

Given this statement...
"if it lives up to its claims of 12 to 14 hours play time"
...I'd guess that he bought the 14-hour "PowerBoot" rather than the 20-hour "MegaBoot" model.

Yeah, it's a bit of an inconsistency? But I assume he just went with the name of the leading model from the line.
-
I bought the Mega Boot. I thought I saw the 12 - 14 hours somewhere but I dont recall where. 20 is even better but it is not 20 hours of active use (i.e. playing music) for certain.

Google it.
-
also, I plugged it in at 9:30 am today and it is 2:00 pm now and fully charged so it defintely takes less than 4.5 hours to charge from dead.

I am not crazy! It said 12-14 hours in my email invoice:
Line Items:
1x MegaBoot<br>12 to 14 Hours for $69.99 each
That was the preorder price as well.

Interesting. Their website claims "up to 20 hours of battery life" for the MegaBoot, and "up to 14 hours of battery life" for the PowerBoot. Since this was a preorder I assume you got it direct from the manufacturer. Would that be a correct assumption? If so I'd shoot them a quick e-mail asking what's up with the discrepancy.

I did get it directly from them. I assume it is likely a typo since it is 20 hours everywhere else.

Here was their reply:
The battery after further testing was lasting longer. If you box says MegaBoot you received the 3200 cell version. Follow the instructions carefully when attaching. Enjoy!

Or during market research it was determined that overstating a products capabilities produced much greater sales and highers profits. But I'm only joking.

Okay, yesterday I unplugged it from the wall at 4pm EST. I played volume 8 music for ~15 - 20 minutes. Maybe 5 or 6 news requests, ask for a couple jokes and turned on/off a couple home automation devices. I t lost charge some time between 10 am and Noon giving it 20-22 hours with light use.
I will next play music at volume 6 or so and see what the duration is when I get a chance...

at those prices arent you better off with a Dot or tap?

Not for how I want to use it.

- The Dot isn't battery-powered.
- The Tap isn't hands-free.
