We not so convinced by the battery life of the KW88 even though it has a massive battery capacity of 400mAh. The battery life on standby lasts about 1-2 days while on mixed usage the battery life is just about 6-12 hours which is not so great considering that a full day usage on a single charge would have been awesome.
