Purchased mine in 2011 and it's still going strong. We'll over 3.5 hours with nothing running and over 2.5 hours with active aplications. I learned with IBM & Lenovo laptops you can't keep charging their batteries. When they are fully charged unplug and when low recharge and so on.

I am glad that you asked. The batteries failed almost immediately and when I tried to post a negative review they (Amazon) deleted it.

They work good for me. To be honest I don't remember for how long thy are given, but my son uses his computer extensively and after 6 months, still works 4 hours mainly looking at videos on the net.

They may drain the battery over time though I haven't changed the battery in over 6 months

I haven't changed batteries in mine yet, light to moderate use over several months. They have worked flawlessly so far.

Thanks. How many batteries? According to your experiences, do they last for 7 months as expected?

I have had mine for 10 months now and my husband tested the batteries a couple of weeks ago. They still tested pretty strong so my guess would be something in excess of 18 months.

I go thru maybe 2 fresh batterys a year. I say fresh, I suggest always right off the rack. also useage is important but I have been very happy.

I think not using them for such a long time has killed the battery. I have left regular chargeable batteries sit for a long time and they would not charge either. I think regular use is the key.

They last quite a while. I mainly use them for my son's wireless remote for his Xbox 360, he plays everyday, somedays he plays allday and on average we usually have to recharge them every 3-4 months. I found them to be better than an OEM battery we've had.

Had it over a year. Factory batteries still working fine. Name brand batteries will probably work much longer, but I've had no problems so far on the factory ones.

Oh, thanks for clearing that up for me. But I'm kinda worried that they aren't replaceable. I've seen a few batteries die completely in a state where they aren't even rechargeable anymore. I hope these lithium batteries last if you can't replace them.

I have had them last 5 years with just moderate use per day and up to 3 years with heavy use recharging twice daily..I also do rejuvenate them after that time to get an extra year out of them before I buy new

They are what they say, they last just as long as average battery but cheaper and with a long shelf life. Mine which I got last yr have a shelf life till 2015. I bought several.

I'm not going to get political, but I haven't had any problems with these batteries, if that's what you're asking. I've probably got 25 or so charges on mine and they've been great, other than a misspelling on the side of the battery, "Caution: Battery can explore or cause burns if overcharged, disassembled or exposed to fire." No fun at all.

We have never had issues with the batteries in the past and these have worked well. I can't even give a time frame on the batteries for these but if you shop on Ebay or Amazon you can usually find better prices. Sorry no battery problems so far.

From my experience, the life expectancy is about 2 years. The only reason I keep buying these batteries is because I have several pieces of equipment that uses this battery and I don't want to just throw them away. I have about 4 of these batteries and i keep one in the charger most of the time. I have thrown away about 3 of them in the last 5 years. The battery will do well for about a year and then it will lose it's charge sitting on the shelf. I'm guessing these batteries that we are buying are several years old when we receive them. Sorry to tell you this.

Yes, I'm using them in mine for about 3 months now. They seem to be holding a good charge. Time will tell if they continue to perform well.

I have used these batteries for in excess of six years and have not had one issue. I think they are a good buy for the money...
