    The glases will charge a completely dead battery in less than three hours. You may use the glasses while the battery is being charged. The battery in the Runco 3D glasses is designed to operate approximately 60 hours on a full charge. The glasses consume more power as needed to maximize reliability. As a result, battery life is a function of many factors, including how much interference from 2.4-GHz devices like wireless routers must be compensated.
