The battery life on a single charge lasts for 4 hours.
We recommend you keep the cable plugged into the
mains power socket if you’re going to use for longer than
this or throughout the night.
When the battery gets very low, it’ll take about 30
minutes to charge enough for you to use it for a
short time. To charge the Parent unit in the shortest
amount of time, turn it o while it’s charging.
