From a fully charged battery my radio will play for 45 minutes then the battery will completely die. Is it the battery or something wrong with the radio. Radio/battery is 5 months old.
XMp3 Battery problem.

You might have to swap it out with Pioneer. Either that or TSS might have some. I've seen them on eBay for about $15.
def sounds like the battery. I have used mine for 2 hours at the gym and had plenty of battery left
Update.
I tried an experiment. I played my mp3/wma's and the battery drained normally. So it's only when I'm playing live XM that the battery doesn't drain properly.

Wow... SWEET! I've seen those for iPod's too, but wondered how well they worked.
12 hours of sat time is very nice indeed!

here is a white one for 16.95, you have to replace the cable to fit the XMP3, I used a old auto power cord. read my thread in above link
iPod Backup Battery Pack
My XMP3i only holds a charge for about 90 minutes before it has to be recharged.(It' s a refurbished radio I bought from TSS a few months ago it's been that way since I bought it.....started at about 2 hours a charge)

If you bought it from TSS, I'm sure they'd gladly help you resolve the issue.
Have you messaged TSS Taylor? http://www.digitalradiocentral.com/private.php?do=newpm&u=6
I think the problem is the battery in the XMP3i gets overcharged and stops holding the charge for as long as it should[i've read elsewhere about people with the same problem with their XMP3i's].That too seems to be my problem.[I never had this problem with my Delphi MYFI radios]
