Question
Can each section be used independently while still attached to the base?
Is the 72 hr. approx. time of usage with all four banks on. If so then will the usage of only one or two banks extend the estimated time of use? And can each of the banks be turned on and off independently while attached to the home power source?

answer 1
Yes, and if the charge on one unit is depleted it will not turn off the whole lantern.

Yes the 72 hour use time is with all four banks on. When attached to the base, it's an "all or nothing proposition" - when detached - each panel will last approximately 1 and a half hours each.

Only if you remove other units that you prefer not to be turned on. I have not left the entire unit on for an extened period of time so I'm unable to answer the usage question.

I have never tried leaving it on for 72 hours. However; I have owned this lantern for over a year with regular use, and I am still on the original set of batteries. 72 hours seems reasonable to me for all 4 banks. It seems logical that less banks would extend run time further. Banks cannot be turned on/off individually when attached to base unit. If you want less than all four panels to light, just remove the unwanted panels and the remaining ones will light via the base on/off button.
