All you have to do is tell someone - 20 hours of battery life and it doesn’t sound like a rocket ship under load.

Not getting hot or loud while lasting forever on battery are easily observeable selling points I’d say.

they claim all-day talk and month-long standby battery life.

Thanks! It uses around a quarter of your battery overnight. Maybe less. The ideal place is somewhere close to you, like under your pillow or in your pocket, but pillows and covers may dampen the noise.

Any suggestions on getting the word out? I'm psyched that it's on the front page of HN, and never would have thought it would be, but it would be great if anyone knows of places to reach more of the target market.

The battery life is really nice even if you don’t need the full power.

It's only 2x battery life but it seems someone is listening:

The low battery indicator turns on with 20% battery left, that's a whole day to remember to charge it. And it only takes 2 hours for a full charge.

8 months of battery life, and talks Bluetooth. Someone got low-power right.

There is a good reason: battery life.

> Battery: 5 days standby; A few hours talk time.

The Framework has half the battery life of similarly sized alternatives. No one was lying to you.

I'll believe those figure on battery life when someone independent confirms it.

So long as you're down for 20 minutes of battery life.

These battery life claims are impressive. I'd like to see how they hold up in the real world.

The battery sounds small, since it's only 2 or 3x that of my phone. Other than that, what incredible specs for only $200!
