Battery Life: Is there a way to check the battery life before it becomes low?

I have this camera and I had the same problem, when it says the battery is low, it's means really low, only for some more shots. So I bought another battery and I carry it in the camera pack. I did this because I know how much time I can take pictures in "extreme pictures situations", like going in museums for one day for example. Two bateries for me is enought. You need to test and know "your limits". :-) Another good thing I did was turning off the LCD most of the time in this situations. According to the manual this saves a lot of energy: from their tests you can shoot 160 picts with it on and 600 with it off!

Answer: Plug JAMBOX into your wall charger or computer via included micro USB cable. TO HEAR REMAINING BATTERY LIFE. Press the TALK BUTTON. Hope this helps.

Unsure but battery life is generally about 3 hours before having to plug in once again.

It has a battery gauge on the display and you can perform a self-test on it. I assume it would tell you after the self-test that it doesn't have the expected capacity.

As far as I know there isn't. However, the battery doesn't drain all that fast unless you have a defective model.

I also bought a refurb and love it. I went into the settings and turned brightness way down but its still seems plenty bright. You can check in settings and see which programs are the biggest drain. Turning off Bluetooth will also help. I think companies always overestimate how much battery life they can achieve (they probably measure the life by how long you can listen to mp3's continuously). I don't think you should be concerned.

yes but there is no indicator so it is very hard to distinguish when it is fully charged therefore the battery life varries

Battery life is generally about 6-8 months (at least in my case and there are two of us once/day). You get a warning on your phone if the battery gets low.

I have been getting about 4 almost 5 hours out of a full battery charge on this laptop. Right now I am just using internet and reading documents off. I also have the Screen brightness turned down low to help save battery life.

I really haven't tested the battery life per say.....but I have had it on for more than two hours with the battery still holding charge. Hope this helps.

When the G3 is on, press the on/off switch and a battery level indicator appears along with the date and time. Just press the button -don't hold it down as you do to shut it off

There is battery back-up for a specified number of hours. I use the prerecorded message that came with the device. So far when the power has gone out, all I have to do is reset the time and date.

I have had mine about six months of very light usage and the battery is dying as well; however, since I don't know how long it was in the package before I bought it I can't yet speak to expectancy.

No, there is an indicator but it won't tell the battery status. BTW, the battery is pretty strong and long lasting. it will be good match to Surface Pro 3.

You can't ask such a basic question like "how long does the battery last"... there are so many factors.How fast your CPU is set to run. LCD on time. HDD spindown time. WIFI being used...The best way is to CHECK the battery with "BATTERYINFOVIEW" from google.Once you get the "designed capacity" from the program, you can calculate the TRUE capacity in MAH which will give you a more accurate representation of how long the battery will last compared to a stock battery.
