They all vary. Depending on what speaker you are referring to its anywhere from 4-24 claimed hours. If you know what speaker you want or have I can give you exact runtimes. :grin:

Do you mean how long is their playback time or how long they can retain charge without being used? For the former here are Anker’s stated times from the user manuals but all are dependent on volume and content type;

SoundCore - 24hrs
SoundCore 2 - 24hrs
SoundCore Boost - 10hrs
SoundCore Sport XL - 15hrs
SoundCore Mini - 15hrs
SoundCore Nano - 4hrs
Anker Premium (A3143) - 8hrs

For streaming or audio playback at 320kbps (or less) at around 65-85% of the max volume, you will easily meet or exceed the times.

Pocket Bluetooth Speaker - 12h
SoundCore Sport Bluetooth Speaker - 10h
Classic Bluetooth Speaker - 20h
SoundCore Bluetooth Speaker - 24h
Premium Bluetooth Speaker - 8h
SoundCore Sport XL Bluetooth Speaker - 15h
SoundCore Nano Bluetooth Speaker - 4h
SoundCore Mini Bluetooth Speaker - 15h
SoundCore Pro Bluetooth Speaker - 18h
SoundCore 2 Bluetooth Speaker - 24h

If I can recall correctly, Anker bases these tests off of 80% volume, which is pretty generous!

I have also reviewed the SoundCore Boost, which has a 10h playtime.

Missed the pocket and classic from my list but the ones listed are ones I’ve tested, so I’m confident on the playback times :grin:

Oh, nice! Have you found any to not match up with Anker’s claims?

Not so far but I’ve yet to get my hands on the Boost or the Pro (once the kinks have been worked out on the model) :smile:

I believe they downgraded the Boosts battery life from 12 to 10, possibly due to this report.

In general the anker speakers exceed the listed times. I have a soundcore sport xl and it goes about 20 hours vs the listed 12.
