Strong battery life across the board, this phone is going to get you through even a busy day of use. For more information about our battery tests see this article.

Call Time (6.76)
The LG Dare lasted five hours thirty-eight minutes in our talk time test. You can see below that this is significantly above average and only the iPhone amongst our comparison devices performed better. We were quite pleased with the Dare's battery life, it should be sufficient for all but the gabbiest users to get through a couple of days.

Music Playback (11.93)
Music playback time on the LG Dare was a very impressive sixteen hours thirty-four minutes. This is almost twice our average for cell phones and amongst our comparison  phones only the Instinct came anywhere near it. Bottom line is that you can listen to a lot of music on the Dare without stressing about battery life.

Web Browsing (7.16)
In our web browsing test the LG Dare lasted five hours fifty-eight minutes. This is very impressive, especially considering the Dare is using Verizon's high speed 3G network, which tends to be very battery hungry. We were very happy with the Dare's performance on this test, you can see below that it's significantly above average and the best amongst our comparison phones. To do this test we point the phone's browser at a website that is set to refresh every ten seconds and then wait for the battery life to run out.
