battery - how long does it stay charged?

So far the battery is great. Even compared to my new work laptop that is 3 or 4 times more expensive. The rest of the Dell is about what you would expect at that low price point. But the battery is excellent.

In my experience it depends on how far it has been discharged. The times I have needed to fully charge it, it usually takes about 2-3 hours.

At least two weeks. I once charged it fully, unplugged it, put it in my backpack, and did not use it for about two weeks, and it seemed to have maintained its full charge even after that whole time not being used. Just remember not to have anything plugged into the USB port when it's not in use, otherwise it will drain all of its power by itself (keep it unplugged unless you want to charge your device).

Initially I charged it for 4 hours. That's supposed to last for 2 weeks or longer, as I was informed; however I have to charge it regularly for at least 2 hours.

I've charged it once since purchace. Unsure as to length of charge as I turn it off and on frequently. Takes around 40 mins.to recharge.

So far after I charge the battery it will last about 90 minutes. I have not had any issues with the battery.

Hi Eric, I keep this charged and stored in my computer case. The longest I've had it charged without using it was three weeks. It seemed to have kept a full charge during that time. I hope this helps.

Not sure, I've just charged it overnight. Seems to go a long time on a charge, though.

I don't remember how long it took to charge but you can use it while plugged in since it is battery or direct current. I stopped using mine since it did not work properly.

The charge has been lasting about 20 to 30 minutes. Initial charge was 6 hours and charging after use has been taking anywhere from 2 to 3 hours.

I would guess several hours, I didn't keep it in constantly after a charge, but using it 20-50 minutes at a time a few times a week, it lasted over a month for me.

Weeks/months I would imagine. I haven't gauged the time to be honest, but think of it like a battery that is waiting to be used - if you don't use it, it will just stay charged for a rather long time. This is essentially a rechargeable battery.

I am not sure, but I had it running for about 2.5 hours straight. Then, I did recharge it when I got home, but it did not take long to charge.

For me, so far, it has been lasting just about 2-3 hours on a full charge. Almost 1 year of usage so I do keep it plugged in when not in use and definitely overnight.

You are only suppose to recharge the battery no longer than 6hrs; however, I can charge it 6hrs and when I go to use it - one charge will last about 30-45mins....

Not that long! If it's only working when plugged in, something is wrong. It also holds a charge for quite sometime. I can't remember the last time I charged mine (though I only use it sporadically).

I found the charging time to be about a 1.5 to 2 hours. There is a red/orange light that illuminates when you first plug it in. It will go out when it is fully charged.
