is the Blackfriars mains or battery? If battery, how long do you reckon you get out of one charge?

I've just bought a spitalfields azatom and was dissapointed with the battery life. From a full charge I got 2 to 3 hours use them left it on standby overnight it was dead by the time I woke up. Ok for home use and taking into the bathroom while you bathe but not much use for anything else. As a radio it's good but not as a portable.

Is that after a few cycles?
Lithium batteries need a few charge/discharge cycles to get up to full performance, that does sound poor tho

They are also MASSIVE for a fishing radio. Mine went back too.

No first charge I'll see if it improves, and post later how it goes.

I'm on my first charge using it too. It lasted 5 hours for me on volume 20 (loud). It's perfect for me. I brought an old small power bank with me and plugged it in for the afternoon. Unplugged at 7pm when I put LBC on the Pure. It was fully charged this morning again. The sound quality is immense. I did post earlier I need it being next to a motorway currently and did not know how great the battery would be on a radio with a subwoofer and high quality sound. You're right though the battery is not great in comparison to 60 hours of Pure. Azatom quote 10 hours. I will take a little power bank because I need that higher quality volume without the tinny sound.

Not the radio for a busy syndicate that's for sure. The nearest angler to me is a mile away. So for me it's exactly what I needed.

Quote... The last place i worry about sound quality of music is when im fishing



That's why. As I said at start of thread I've spent three months, fishing nigh on every week with the M4 30 yards behind me. That's the reason. It's very loud so I need a quality radio to drown it out

Not just the cars...The carpers on their way fishing... Twenty times a day... Beep beeeeeep MARKKKKKK
