What about battery life?

Unfortunately, I bought it for my son who left for college. I have no first hand experience on the battery life.

I did not use the Lenovo as a portable device that often. My answer on battery life is that it is AVERAGE. Lenovo maintains "up to 5 hours" (Lithium, 4-cell, 32Wh) in their official specs, but I would mark that down to 4-4.5 hrs. (the battery is only 4-cell). I sold this unit only because the keys were too stiff for my MS riddled hands and switched to a noisy HP ENVY with soft keys. All in all, (for the rest of you) it is a GREAT machine!!! Thanks for your inquiry.

Very bad, untill I don't find a battery for this computer, and the cost for the ideapad 405 batteries it's more espensive that $50. I am very sad with this.

I don't use it very often on battery power- however, I think there is a setting to adjust to " battery mode" so that it may be a tad darker but extend battery life.

You can't ask such a basic question like "how long does the battery last"... there are so many factors.How fast your CPU is set to run. LCD on time. HDD spindown time. WIFI being used...The best way is to CHECK the battery with "BATTERYINFOVIEW" from google.Once you get the "designed capacity" from the program, you can calculate the TRUE capacity in MAH which will give you a more accurate representation of how long the battery will last compared to a stock battery.

I don't know about any of that except the battery life. It won't last all day. You have to charge it at least 2 a day

Sorry, had to return it because of a bad hard drive. So I didn't get to see how the battery life was under normal conditions.

I would say there is no set answer to this question, the actual battery life that you experience will depend on your usage and maintainence of the device. My battery usually lasts about 8 days at about 2 hours or so a day, so about 16 hours roughly. YMMV!

Battery life is pretty sufficient... Usually three hours of constant use before requiring charging.

Battery Life is the time of how long the battery will stand until needing charged, this battery life has a long span time before needing charged.

It just the amount of charge the battery will hold. It may give another 30 to 40 minutes of battery life. It all depends on how you use the phone.

I've only had it for 5 weeks, so I don't know the battery life yet. It is working quite well.

I'm not sure on the battery life, if that's what you're asking, or how the build quality is. Build quality is ok, nothing too nice. Battery's are built in and rechargeable.

sorry for the delay. Battery life is 3 hours or more. I have not pushed it to its limits though. Sorry.

I do not know away to check battery life , 5-6 hrs of steady playing with full charge has been the average .

it depends on what you use, wifi + fb+ youtube 3hours , also if you watch a film 3 hours , but if you play a game than in 1.5 hours battery life will last, just tiping word document or oly use fb can last 5 hours and more, i think normal battery life

I have actually tested the battery life at maximum use. From fully charged, I had the screen at 100% brightness, and going online, I was watching videos. My battery lasted a little bit more than 4 1/2 hours before it went to 0%.

Battery life has not been a problem. EVery once in a while we need to remove a battery, let it rest for a few minutes and then replace it. Otherwise, no problem.

It's like any other smartphone; it'l last days if you use it for nothing more than voice calls. If you use the GPS and 4G radios a lot, you'll drain it down in less than a day.My overall judgment of the battery life would be Decent - Good.

It depends on your performance settings and what you're doing on the laptop. I use mine with high performance and generally use light programs (MS Office) and web browsing and it generally lasts about 2-4 hours depending. The life of the battery can extend quite beyond that I believe by turning off features and downgrading performance, but I have not really explored those features fully.
