Flac does suck more battery life. If it is the case you only get a "few hours" something is wrong. Flac won't consume the battery life to that extent.

I suspect there is something wrong with the player/battery or the problem lies in charging the battery (a usb setting). Have you tried different USB settings other than auto detect? You should see the little battery icon (the bar in the middle moving) in the top right corner when it is indeed charging. When it is fully charged the bar will be full but won't move.

Another way to check battery life is go into System Settings - > Info -> Scroll down to power (reading will be in %)
