Life: Up to 10 hours with high powered NiMH rechargeable batteries
(2600mAH - 200mAH). Life may be less with regular alkaline batteries.

can always have one set charging while the other set is in the guitar.
When the batteries run low, the blue indicator LED will begin to flash

When the batteries are dead or even removed from the instrument, the
guitar still functions as an American Series Stratocaster®, so you will
never have a "gig emergency".
