Is it true that battery life is short and that it takes forever to charge it ?

The battery life is pretty short and it charges slowly....at least in comparison to iPads.

The battery suxxxxxxxxxx... I've had this thing for 3+ years and this thing dies fast. 3 to 4 hours tops of on screen time till you need to charge and yes the charge time is just plan rude,if you drain the battery then charge 8 to 12 hours till full..straight BS ill have over 60 % charge and the kid will watch youtube for 45 min and drain the battery to 0.. great tablet as far a specs but be warned .. >(

In my experience, no, not at all. I've had good luck with battery life, and charging seems to take what I'd consider a normal amount of time. I haven't done a run-down test, but I have used it quite a bit for reading (Just finished the Game of Thrones series), and the battery seems to last a reasonable amount of time.Hope this helps

I've found the battery life to be above average. I had a Lenovo idea pad and it was shorter than the nexus.Charging is very good.

That is not true! My battery lasts for days without needing a full charge, which only takes a couple of hours, if that. The battery life is one of the pros about this tablet and one of the reasons I bought it.

Not sure how much time you'd be spending actively using it vs just having it ready to be used, but I am charging it every other day. I do find that it seems to take longer than other devices to re charge fully. And the cord is oddly short! I received a pop up Msg that encouraged me to close unused apps to preserve battery life. By long pressing the center button open apps appear and they swipe away to close.

It takes about 30 minutes to charge. It will usually stay charges for around four hours.

No indication whether it's charging or not, but I charged it for 8 hour and it only charges my phone for 2 minutes.

No it doesnt. The charging time is long, and the battery time is very low. Don't waste your money

It does take a long time to charge. The reason why is because you are using the wrong cord and plug. I use my nexus 7 charger to my power pack and it still takes about 8 hours to fully charge

To be honest dont buy it, it doesn't last long at all, and it says fully charged but its really not

It doesn't take long to charge the device. It will only fully charge your phone once or twice I'd recommend investing in a better one if your looking to use it a lot.

Sometimes it will doesn't work so good, like you can't turn on it. You need to wait one or two mins, especially just after you charge it. And it just can use about 8 hours, otherwise it is good.

No, the battery is built in. It takes less than 15 minutes to charge. Just plug into your computer

Yes, it seems to charge pretty fast. However, like I mentioned in the review it also seemed to drain faster if I used this charger.

The battery last longer but takes the same amount of time to charge. I think that it's what you where asking, if not let me know and i'll try to get a better answer for you.

Yes, the charge is supposed to last for 15 hours. I find that it lasts for about 6-7 hours.

My experience is that it takes well over a day to charge. I'm also finding that the true capacity is 50-60% of what was advertised.

Not good. It drains really quick depending on what you are doing. A full charge would last about 1 to 2 hours. However I have it plugged in all the time so it is not a problem for me.

It takes very little time to charge, maybe an hour. I can definitely say not more than 2. I haven't timed it yet. I just know it's pretty quickly. It certainly charges faster than my old rechargeable batteries LOL

I think that it is a bit slower to charge than the charger that comes with the tablet. That being said, I still use it more often when I take it to work or vacation because the cord is longer.
