I've actually been getting more than 4-5hrs, as of yet I haven't had the low battery signal and I wear these all day at work and listen to free talk live and freedom feens podcasts back to back to back, when I'm not listening to my sandler training cd's... I'm going to buy a second one though just in-case I do have an extra long day and it does run out... or there is the ability to charge these while in use, so you could just carry an external battery pack with usb charging port if you planned on having a really long day with it... but as cheap and as light as this device is, I think I prefer the second device over the external battery solution!

William, thanks for taking the time to respond. I will also let everyone know what kind of battery life we observe. Best of luck to you.ww

It depends on your performance settings and what you're doing on the laptop. I use mine with high performance and generally use light programs (MS Office) and web browsing and it generally lasts about 2-4 hours depending. The life of the battery can extend quite beyond that I believe by turning off features and downgrading performance, but I have not really explored those features fully.

Hello Laura,I primarily use it at work and have it on all day (7-8 hours). The battery life seems to be good...generally lasts all week. Hope this info helps :)Marsha

Battery life is about three hours on constantly . I know this because I used it this long while recently tracking a deer in the rain

It's pretty good... I got up to 2 days use with mine without charging. And when I gave it to my friend in Africa.. He never complained about battery life despite the fact their wasn't steady power supply where he lives.

Maybe 2 hours on battery saving mode if your lucky. If battery life is a concern I'd look elsewhere. This computer is mostly a desktop replacement.

Battery life is very solid. I work 8-12 hr days with it and I would estimate batteries require replacing roughly every month to month and a half. I would note that I tend to leave it on all the time and it goes to sleep when not in use. You only need to click to wake it back up again. Am pleased with battery life (I find re-chargeable batteries are a good investment).

The battery life has been great so far! I've had mine for two months, I never turn it off, and I use my computer for 8-12 hours every day. The batteries haven't needed changed yet.

Hi, about 24 hour or so. Iam using GPS and internet a lot so I cannot tell or sure. I was a bit disappointed at once, but its better then the one is bundled. I am using the old Nexus S that its self is draining battery.

Honestly I have never measured the battery life but, for what its worth, quite a bit of times i leave it on accidentally for 2 days or so and it still has enough battery. If youre using it connected to the usb its not going to run out of battery because its getting powered by it.

I would say the battery life depends on the display settings. With full illumination, I think it's about 6 hours.

Depends very much on what you are running. Using WIFI and doing typical work activities such as email, web browsing, word, etc., I have seen over 9 hours. If you're watching a movie streamed via 4GLTE the battery life does suffer. I have not timed it, but 6 hours seems pretty close under those contitions.

I have been disappointed in the battery life. I was at a convention, started taking photos (no flash) alternating with some video. Battery was dead by afternoon, and that was NOT non-stop photo shooting by any means. If I had to guess, I would estimate 20 short videos and about 275 photos. I didn't have a spare and no way to charge, and missed the rest of the day. Buy a backup, definitely!

Its a pretty long time. I charge it occasionally, but it has never died on me while I was using it.

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.

The battery life is pretty good and lasts a while and the battery is rechargeab. Hope that helps :)
