Under normal conditions it should lastapproximately eight to ten hours before requiring a recharge. The more you use the ring scanner or the wireless transmitter, theshorter the time required between battery recharges.A suspended HX2 maintains the date and time for a minimum of two days while tethered to a battery that has reached the LowWarning point and a fully charged backup battery.
