The battery spec for the Glo on the Kobo site is a bit weird:

Over 1 month with Wi Fi turned off**
Up to 70 hours of continuous usage with ComfortLight on***
With the notes:

The first line suggests more than 15 hours of battery life (assuming the 30 minutes a day that is used elsewhere). The second line implies a LOT longer if the light is on. And the word "continuous" suggests that if I turn the light on and keep it on, then it lasts 70 hours. But, if it is turned on and off, it will be a shorter.

My experience with my Glo suggest maybe 40 hours. That is with the WiFi on, the light on about 50% of the time and allowing sleep after 15 minutes and never power off. From comments in the Kobo forum, I think the Aura HD is about the same. I can't think of comments about the Aura.
