My understanding (and experience) is that the micro BL will run indefinitely when supplied with a 500 mA USB in Eco mode, but discharges in normal or turbo. However, with a USB hub that supports 2 amp fast charging (or the iUSB power supplies) then the BL will go a really long time (maybe forever) in normal mode. The blue charging light stays lit only for 30 seconds or so after turning off the device after several hours in normal mode when using the iUSB nano. That makes me think it’s at near full charge.
I almost never use turbo mode. The power output is really high in normal mode. Only when listening to really quiet classical tracks using the HD6XX do I use turbo. In that case the BL seems to warm up and the charging light stays on after turning it off even when connected to the iUSB.
As far as not noticing a difference between the nano and micro, I can’t comment. However I notice the difference (major improvement) in sound quality with the BL vs. a dragonfly red with harder to drive headphones (HD6xx, AFC, etc.) vs. easier to drive (ATH-m50x, MSR7, etc.).
Overall I really love this device and use it more than my jotunheim most days.
