But the darn thing is indeed coming with an USB charging cable. Yes it is short, yes it stiff, No it doesn't have fancy silver.
But it is very good for USB data audio too.
Yes, the darn thing
does come with a great USB cable - perfect for the data interface, which I presume is what it's intended for and indeed, what I use it for

Rob has certainly mentioned that some cheap USB cables have a resistance that can be too high to function well, for charging purposes.
... €500 and the darn thing doesn't even come with it's own PS...
...Mojo brings a level of performance to the price-point that puts the rest of the market... well...
Touché
Given Arpiben's "suggestion" above, one can even say the Mojo comes GTG. After all, I do believe the lads over @Chord presumed we'd be using the Mojo OTG and eventually charging it "overnight", much like we do with our Smartphones*
*Unless you own one of those pesky iPhones which needs recharging 3x daily
...Please find hereafter my Mojo`s battery result. You were right: 7h45. Test condition; Load ETHER C: 23 Ohms / Volume: varying between the first double red and 4 dB/clicks down... / Audio data: USB / Listenning sessions: 2 (2h + 5h45) / Mojo switched Off: 3h between the two sessions
Mojo`s Led status:
Blue: 1h30min
Green: 5h35min
Red: 30min
Red blnking: 10min
Note: My eyes didn`t see the yellow Led status.

You should expect 8-10, 7 would be on the low end although I've seen reports of 6.
8-10? I WISH!!!
I've had my brand new Mojo (SN# M035nnn) almost a month now and I guesstimate 7hrs tops. This is based on continuous use
(tried to burn it in overnight and ~7hrs later I awoke to a warm, but turned-off Mojo)... . The power LED is blue for <2hrs, and green until about the 4hr-total mark at which point it turns yellow. Yellow represents approximately the 50% mark. So maybe, when not using it in one long session, it might come out to a total of 8hrs in multi-sessions. I will investigate further... .
Okay, I did another run, this time during daylight hrs
(so that I could monitor it more closely) and using
Arpiben's most scientific approach (above):
Load: 32ohms, 99dB (spl@1mW)
Volume: medium double-red
Data path: Foobar2000->USB 3.0->Mojo
Session: 1 continuous run
EDIT 2:
Warmest surface temp noted
29.5C (24.5C Ambient) 11C over ambient*
*I now own an IR measurement tool which is clearly much more accurate than my first attempt using a household device.
Blue: 1h45mins 22% (78%
vs. Rob's 80%)
Green: 2h15mins 29% (49% vs. 50%)
Yellow: 3h15mins 41% (8% vs. 10%)
Red: 0h30mins 6% (2% vs. 2%)
Red blinking: 0h8mins 2% (<2% vs. <2%)
Grand Total:
7h53mins 100%
Looks like Rob was spot on re. the pwr LED colors and the implied % of remaining charge
And he was smart enough to publish percentages (and not mins)
In any event, I used what I would say are "average" IEMs in terms of sensitivity and impedance. Furthermore, I didn't feel as if the more efficient JHA Angies (17 ohms, 117dB) got more time from the Mojo suggesting that indeed the DAC/FPGA uses much more of the juice than the analog output stage...
EDIT
Charging Mojo with my Samsung "ETA-U90EWE" 5V/2A PS:
6hrs*
Using my Notebook's "hot" USB 3.0: ~6hrs*
*Typical charge is 4 hours when Mojo's not completely depleted. Mojo cools down after a max. of 4hrs charge-time indicating either it (or the charging module) is in trickle-charge mode for the last 2 hrs.
