Battery life on your live?

What are you getting out of your live??

This was in constant use as I have not one clue to what I'm doing , but getting to know it. I drained it to.. 15% from 99%

stop and go use im getting officially published run times of 5 hours consistently.

Today I was able to get 5 hours just finger drumming with headphones. I loaded about 20 kits every hour or so and just cycled through them, so minimal use of the touch screen. This was in standalone mode only.

Hopefully someone will do a teardown so we can see what battery is inside.

I leave my MPC Live plugged in. Is it okay to leave it charging like that?

I used to get up to 10 hours, but I was just finger drumming then. As I started doing more, I've gotten it down to 5-6 hours of intense use.

Yes. It automatically stops charging at peak and keeps it topped off for when you're ready to unplug and go. Be aware that the battery level may show between 97% and 100% when it is fully charged. This is completely normal and within the specs of the battery.

Good to know. With infrequent reasons to work outside the studio, my Live stays plugged in most of the time. I know a lot of battery charged products improved in this regard as of late. I still unplug mine once in a while due to old habits.

You get 7 hours, i'm jealous as hell, I have a launch live and only get around 4 and half hours.

Wow. That almost seems impossible. I mean, what are you doing on it for those 7 hours?
