That’s so long that it’s actually kind of funny, lol. But I didn’t take any away from my score for this lantern because of that. Why? Because a lot of lanterns like this refuse to give that information. However, that information is actually given for this lantern. The runtime is given too, but only partly. They say that the runtime is 90 hours, but I can pretty much guarantee that is the runtime for the lowest brightness setting. Wait, hold up. The instructions (that you only get to read AFTER you have ordered an item like this), say something else…The INSTRUCTIONS, say that the battery takes 8-9 hours to charge. They also at least give more information about the runtime of the lights too. The runtime for the main light is 13-95 hours. Which would mean that it should last about 13 hours on the highest brightness setting and about 95 hours on the lowest brightness setting. And then, the runtime for the flashlight part of the lantern is 18-55 hours. Either way that’s pretty impressive. But telling customers that it takes 7 hours to charge BEFORE they order it, and then telling them it takes 8-9 hours to charge AFTER they receive it? Well that’s NOT impressive, and the reason I have lowered my score.That, and because there’s no information anywhere regarding what this lantern’s rate of charge is. And, there’s nothing that indicates what the charging rate is for when this lantern is used to charge other devices.Anyway, I’ll still giver this lantern 4 stars, but I wouldn’t recommend this one. And that is mainly because the information given to customers BEFORE they order this lantern is misleading, when compared to the instructions that customers can only see AFTER they have ordered this lantern.Besides all of that, it seems to work pretty well so far though. Well, for the most part. When I ordered this I was wondering where the dome light cover comes from. And well, it’s actually just underneath the main light section, which can just be easily unscrewed and taken off. When I took mine off though the dome covering was just free and wild in there, lol. Luckily I was able to repair it, but that doesn’t bode well for the quality of the item.Main thing about this lantern though is… when are things like this going start having better charging technology?? I have a 26,800mAh power bank that can be fully charged from 0%-100% in LESS than 2 hours, and, I got it over 2 years ago now. I’m just saying, something with a 12,000mAh battery should be able to charge at least a little bit quicker than 8-9 hours by now, wouldn’t y’all think so?
