Sorry JasonI don't have the answer, as I don't use it for that long, at a time. Got it mainly to make my Kindle HDX into a netBook .One thing I'd like to add; you have 3 keys to choose your platform: Windows, Android, iOS Apple - and they all work fine.

Manufacturer says 10 hours of continuous use, 30 days on standby. I haven't used it often enough to tell, but I just turned it on after about a month of non-use and it fired right up. Have not had any problems with it. I use it with a Kindle Fire HDX.

I have not yet discovered the end of the battery. I recently used the keyboard for 4hrs 7 mins straight, and it seemed to be fine. I could not tell if it was low on power reserve! It is a great little keyboard with a big keyboard feel. I highly recommend it. By the way it only works when connected vi bluetooth or maybe USB cable. SO little power is used until keystrokes are made.

I think you must have an issue with your keyboard. I've had mine for a few weeks now and I use the keyboard all the time, have even left it on overnight and I've not charged it since the initial charge.

Bluetooth keyboard uses 2 AAA batteries. They have lasted appx. 30+ hours using quality batteries. I LOVE THIS KEYBOARD.

I am not sure, but I tell you, this is my 3rd one, and I love it. It is so nice not to ever have to charge it and if it doesn't work, you can always send it back for a refund. The keyboard is fabulous!

I have not had any issues with this keyboard and I've had it for about 6 months. My computer usually stays off until I use it, though.

Would love keyboards of this caliber to start having being wired/wireless (Just a built in battery). That way, even though the battery might not be able to sustain it for more than 5 - 6 hours, you can just go right back to the desktop, plug it in, and continue to use it.

The battery life really depends on your screens brightness and what your doing on the internet. Watching videos or downloading things will drain the battery more then just posting on facebook or doing research. As for the keyboard, no it doesn't have a backlight which, to me, is the only thing I see wrong with it besides the touch pad. Not sure if its just mine but my touch pad doesn't work properly. Other then that, its a great laptop, im completely satisfied with it.

Had mine for about 3 months, charged it about half-dozen times. System Preference has an icon when you load up the Logitech Software that will indicate how low the battery is. IIRC that software will also tell you, if you forget, to recharge it. I simply plug mine into the USB port on the keyboard, and continue to use but a couple hours later it's all good. I got mine at half the price of Apple's and most pleased. Took the Magic Pad back.

I run this laptop in desktop mode. I cannot attest to battery life but I can say that the keyboard is wonderful. It is not clumsy to type on and it is very responsive. I really like this computer from Dell. In my family we drive Honda and BMW. For computers, we have Dell.

I use the keyboard for 3 to 4 days in a row without charging and it never has died on me.

It is true if you optimize the power settings. However, to get the maximum battery life, you will have some major performance problems. You'll experience some slowdowns, especially utilizing the keyboard on screen.

I generally have to change mine every three to six months, but I use this keyboard everyday for a solid 4-8 hours of typing. I wore the letters off the keys before I had to change the batteries for the first time. Hope that helps! I LOVE this keyboard!

Only when I wake it up from sleep mode. After a stroke or two, it is as fast as any keyboard I have used. The sleep mode keeps the board from needing to be constantly recharged. I use the keyboard every day, turning it off at night, and I have to charge it about once a week.

I have had mine for several months now with no problems. The batteries are replaceable on both the keyboard and the mouse. With normal use, I would think at least three years.

Battery only. Don't buy it. The several letters stopped working. Buy the apple keyboard.

Regina, that's a good question. The info sheet that came with the device claimed I think 150 hrs. of continuous use, which seemed like a misprint to me. When I plug the charger in the blue light comes on but goes out within about 5 minutes, which may mean it's charged. I think I'll wait until it runs out to learn the answer as I can always go back to the onscreen keyboard while it charges. You might ask someone who's owned it longer.Charles
