How long is the battery life?
53376
I've had mine about 4 years and am still using them. they seem to not hold charges as long. And I am thinking about replacing them. I use mine a lot as I have 3 appliances, 2 saws and a weed trimmer. I keep them plugged in all week and use them pretty heavy most weekends.

One battery will cut a single 8 inch log in about 10 minutes. Most probably use it for smaller wood, but you can cut up to about 14 inches if you have multiple batteries. There is a newer model with apparently incompatible lithium batteries which I would get instead if it were my first tool to use these batteries.

I did not have any luck with this equipment - did not cut even one little branch of tree. It was a big disappointment. It stuck to the branch every single time I tried to cut, and I finally gave up.

I do not use it for huge projects, I live on some acreage and I have trees I like to trim some distance from my house and I did not want a gas chain saw.The battery last about an hour, I suppose, but I never did so much at one time that it died. I also use other Black and Decker cordless products (drill and weed whacker) so I have two back up batteries on charge if I need them. i have cut six inch diameter hard wood branches with no problem. Be sure to get chain oil and use it before every cut, make sure the chain is installed in the right direction and have fun. I really like this product.

depends on usage. I have found it takes about an hour of hard use before I need to place on charger to regain maximum power

I haven't actually timed it, but I've been able to use it quite a bit without recharging. I use quite a lot on Sundays and for hours at a time on other days of the week. Takes several days before I have to recharge. I have been impressed with the battery life.

Usually around 6-8 hours. I've never had the battery die on a full days use.

I'm not totally certain about the battery life. I left mine on using it here and there through the day and it well into the evening before I had to plug it in again. I also know that I left in sleep mode for over a week and it still had about 70% battery left it. It impressed me how long it would hold its battery power

sorry for the delay. Battery life is 3 hours or more. I have not pushed it to its limits though. Sorry.

The battery life is close to 7 hours. I surpassed 4-5 hours multiple times with regular use. If you are only getting three hours, you have a defective battery.

For me, so far, it has been lasting just about 2-3 hours on a full charge. Almost 1 year of usage so I do keep it plugged in when not in use and definitely overnight.

Fully charged it now says 4 hours and 5 minutes. Actual time depends on what I am using the computer for. Overall, I am pleased with the battery life.

battery life is good (Haven't done an exact measurement, but it seems like I recharge about every 3 or 4 days). It has an automatic sleep function that preserves the battery life. Full charge in about 2 hours.

That's a good question. I don't see the battery life mentioned in the literature, but I don't think it has 10 hours of battery life. I'm prompted for a power source after a couple of hours. I have to say though, that I love this computer and highly recommend it. My husband is a software engineer. He chose the computer based on its specs out of a number of other options. He was so right. It's a powerful computer.

Usually the battery last between 4 to 6 hours. Just make sure you don't drain the battery. When you see that the battery is almost gone, charge it to prolong the battery life.

I like to use the brightness at full and with the Wi-Fi on, if I browse, email, etc, I think it lasts me around 3-4 hours. The battery life isn't too impressive on this laptop..

I am looking at the battery life indicator now and it says 1hr 57 minutes, 54% remaining. So it looks like about 4 hours.

If the battery is fully charged, it should last for about 6 hours. This is a rough guess based on my using it for about a week, a short time each day, before needing to recharge the battery.

Many factors affect battery life. I can usually get 4-5 hours out of it if I am not doing a lot of surfing and I dim my screen as I notice the battery getting low.

The battery life is good. I have used it to take videos as well as pictures and the battery lasts. The only time I have charged it is when I plug it in to transfer pics to my computer. Otherwise I can get 2 to 3 days of using it a lot and the battery life is great.

On "Battery Saver" power settings with brightness of the screen turned down, for web browsing and word processing my battery runs to around 10% at about 6 hours or so. In the description on Amazon it advertises 6.5 hours of battery life. I'd say that is about correct.
