English term or phrase: left without juice
"XXX ensures you are never left without juice, thanks to its whopping 4.5 hours of talk time, it really has the stamina to go the distance!"

Trata-se de uma referência à durabilidade da bateria do equipamento. Na verdade, toda a frase cria uma imagem complexa.

Qual a sugestão dos meus colegas?

Tendo em vista a ausência de clareza qto ao aplicativo ou ao equipamento, sugiro uma tradução mais genérica, que abrange a falta do que quer que seja...
Nesse caso, tb ajudaria se vc informasse desse uma pista sobre o ramo da empresa representada pelo XXX
