Our assumption is that you don't really need more battery life than your player has. My feeling is most players get about ten hours, so 15 hours is a pretty safe number. But I think we're still open to adjustment here; I'd love to hear how you guys would want your amps dialed in? More battery life, but slightly reduces sound quality? Other way round? Where would you draw the line on battery life?

Any way you could offer 2 or 3 customized settings? Some people only need 2-3 hours, others might want 30 hours.
