Does the 500gb keyboard have an internal battery?

No, this model doesn't have a battery in the keyboard ~ as the TF 101 did. it probably was a trade off to keep the price so reasonable (a guess.)

No, the keyboard just plugs into the bottom of the Tablet portion of the screen

The 475LM I received included the battery. In fact, unlike some computer UPSes in which the battery is internally disconnected, I think the battery was already connected on the inside.

Yes it does. Very handy to have the keyboard. You may need to charge the keyboard, but mine was already good to go.

Keyboard does not have a backlight. The battery lasts about 3 hours (maybe more) if you're just browsing or typing.

I have not needed to replace battery, so I don't know about that. I have charged the keyboard with a USB cord and wall attachment which seems to work much better than computer.

It has a battery that needs to be charged. hen it is fully charged the light will be white on both the keyboard and tablet. I received few instructions with mine.

I dont use the keyboard everyday but I have not had to change the batteries out yet. I also make sure I turn the keyboard off when I am not using it.

Yes, the batteries go into a compartment on the middle upper back of the keyboard.

Yes, the battery screws into the end where your battery usually goes, you take the battery cap off and need to store it somewhere so you dont lose it because this replaces that portion of the keyboard.

There's no simple way to replace the battery. I see some screws that might be opened, but no idea what might be inside. For the price though... a typical lithium battery for a phone would cost you half what the whole keyboard does.

My Irock keyboard doesn't have a battery compartment. It is all Usb powered.

What they mean by "Nonstandard" is that you probably can't replace the battery. It's a lithium battery that is built in, so you can't simply go to the store and replace it. The battery is rated for 10 hours by Asus. That would probably translate to something like 8 hours for typical use. Results will vary depending how you are using it, brightness, wifi, GPS, etc.... Also the optional keyboard dock has a battery in it that will add another 5 hours of use to it. Probably more like 4 in real world use though. So there could be potentially be a total of 12 hours or so if you get the keyboard dock too.
