How long does it take to fully charge? How long does it last, the light, after charged?

It takes 4 hours to fully charge by USB. It will last 5 hours on high, 10 hours on low, 6 hours on SOS. By solar it will depend on the intensity of the sunlight.

is the battery replaceable?

The non replaceable battery is its Achilles heel! Meaning…we need to be able to easily replace the junk rechargeable battery inside it!

It says 'splash proof"; would it last out in the elements in the rain + wind?

Yes, it has been tested to last out in rain and wind. We do not recommend submerging the unit in water however.

Is it safe to keep this in my car on a regular basis as part of the emergency kit? I'm concerned about the battery in the summer heat of a car.

I've left it out in direct sunshine while camping to recharge it. There were no issues. However, that's only a few days per year. Not sure what would happen if you kept it in your car all day long. It's reasonably well made, but the bellows won't last long. I just ripped the bellows out completely, and it works fine, but I've lost the diffused light at night.
