The users of this laptop; how is the battery? is it user-replaceable or not? how long does it last?

however it looks like it could get a replacement if you order straight from Asus because it is not a typical removable battery

The battery is not easily replaceable -- you need to remove the back cover to access it. That isn't too difficult, because the laptop uses standard torx T5 screws. Still, its not simple. However, I've found the battery lasts nearly 6 hours unplugged for typical web browsing, which is good. Also, I've had the computer ~4 months and the battery life hasn't gotten any worse.

I've gone 4 hours on just battery before having to plug in. The batter is not user-replaceable unfortunately.

It doesn't look like it is replaceable. I remove the back cover and when I saw it it's a very long and flat style battery. but it does last a long time on the ECO. MODE.

Most of the answers below are wrong. It is absolutely user replaceable. It *isn't* the snap in snap out type battery found on some notebooks. To get to it you need to take the whole bottom cover of the notebook off, easily done with a Torx T5 screwdriver. But once you've done that, you can unplug and remove the battery and replace it.

Mine lasts about 7~8 hours for regular use when I use the Quite Office Setting.I know it's still better than any other laptops as to battery life.

It lasts about 3 hours. I use mine almost exclusively via the wall outlet, so I'm not the best person to ask. I think it's good for 3 to 3 1/2 hours. Love the lap top. Good luck!

This is a great laptop. Buy it. You can get larger replacement batteries for $35 with 50% more battery length. Browsing the internet, the battery should last 4 hours with stock battery.

The battery life is good. I have watched netfix for 4 hours straight before it needed charging. But the battery is not replaceable.

The battery is secured internally and can't be readily removed without opening the case, but it is replaceable.The battery can last over 4 hours if you're just word processing or things like that. If you're online, it seems to last less than 3 hours.

It doesn't look like the battery can be replaced. I had mine for a couple of months and it holds it's charge very well. A simple plug to wall charger or computer with its USB cable and it charges with no problems. It holds a pretty good charge for couple of days-depending how much u listen.

It's a great laptop and for the price u can't beat it,it comes with a charger not the original one but the one that comes with it works fine.My battery doesn't stay charged long so I have to keep it plugged up I really don't worry about that I'm just gonna buy a new battery from amazon they like $29 bucks new and the price goes up,but it's a great deal when u think about it.

I don't use the laptop that much. I haven't timed it but the battery lasts a couple of hours. It's enough to get what I want done.

I've had this laptop for 2 years and I love it so much, best I've had. It has really held up over time, I think due to to solid state drive. Though it's been a couple of years, I am going through the effort to replace my cracked screen (I dropped it) rather than just buying a new laptop because this one is a real keeper.

I would like to know if you can buy a replacment battery that has 4 hrs. run time.The computer sounds great except for the 2 hr. 25 min. battery time.Why such a good comp. with such a whimppy battery?

hi I'm not sure what you mean by is the battery user replaceableif by that you mean is the battery interchangeable for a new 1 or for 1 of the different powerthe answer is yes and the battery is easily changeable and exchangeable by removing the back flap with the 2 clips is easily removedas far as wanting change the battery for any reason there is no need the batteries in extremely powerful lithium ion battery that hold its charge of to 9.5 hours on 1 chargeon the other hand since it is an ultrabook the RAM can be a little bit tricky to change out although extremely possiblewith minimal effortI would of course include a manual on exactly how to do thatalso I own a Ultrabook tool kit for for these types of repairs and upgrades I would be glad to include this with your order for an extra 20 dollarskeep in mind the toolkit is specifically made to be used for computers and it's not just a regular toolkit I can send you a picture if you likethank you for your interest and I hope to hear from you

The battery is non-user replaceable on this Toshiba model, which makes it further difficult to troubleshoot. It has to be returned to the factory or be replaced by a qualified tech.

I have no problems with mine. I installed it 5 months ago - working perfectly. Make sure you follow the directions on the printed insert to cycle the battery before use. REMEMBER - the battery HAS TO BE CYCLED 4 to 6 times... that means FULLY charge the battery 10 hours and fully discharge it so the computer shuts down. Do this 4 or 5 times - this will make sure it reach full capacity. find out more here... http://www.laptopbattery1.com

I just recently bought my 2nd one for another computer because my first one is just that great! I've had it for about 9 months & I've only replaced the batteries once. I have both at work & are always on the "on" position. If you're thinking of buying one, the battery life should not be an issue! Good luck!

I've had it for about a month now and it still runs good as new. Battery life lasts about a week if used constantly.

I have a good review of this laptop. It runs surprisingly fast with a 2nd generation processor and 8Gb Ram. Boot time from off is less than a minute. I use it 16 hours a day and never have issues with it.
