How long can this power a gaming laptop that has to be plugged in while gaming otherwise it'll have to be recharged soon?

I can run a satellite, internet router, phone and another satellite all day with power left over...

All day. I use it at work with a non gaming laptop and it doesn't drain it by half.

I don't play games, but I have watched two full length movies from Amazon and Netflex, and still had an hour or two left. I bought a new Pavilion g7 and used this battery and it lasts twice as long as my older G72. I easily get 6 or 7 hours on my new laptop.

Well, unfortunately I'm not an avid gamer so I am not on it that often, but I have found that if you have it in sleep mode it does a very good job of retaining power. If I were to estimate, if you played it as much as the average owner, I would say you could get a guaranteed couple days out of it...I might even venture and say three days. Again thats just a guess.You might wanna poke around online and google some sites that will give you some good insight on the battery life. Hope I was able to help at least a little. Have fun and keep gaming! ;)

To answer your question, yes, it can run solely on battery power for at least a handful of hours if it's completely charged prior to use. The company recommends a full 24-hour charge before using it for a prolonged period of time, whether it's plugged in or not. If you're just using it for an hour or two, it's fine to keep unplugged, but any longer than that, and I'd say plug it in.

I've had mine for about 3 months and still holds its charge. At 100%, lasts 3 1/2 hours and that's when i have my laptop fan and gaming mouse plugged in.

Hello David,This would depend on the power settings you have the computer set to. The manufacturer estimates 4-5 hours. Thanks for your interest!

Yeah that's sounds about right. it take 10 hours to about fully charge the battery unit with solar. the life of the laptop depends on the laptops power settings and what you are doing with it. I most use this device to charge cell phones and cameras etc...

It is powered from the laptop itself. I plug my (Dell) laptop in (by way of 110vt. adapter) and use it, otherwise you will be draining your laptop battery pretty fast.

No. This will not anywhere near charge while the laptop is active. It'll be best to charge the laptop while it's completely off. It'll take abit to charge compared to it's required amp's from it's wallplug system. But it will charge while it's off.

about 9 hrs depending on what you are doing if playing games battery only lasts about three hours

I haven't had mine long so I haven't worn the battery down, but in-the-box new my laptop has been lasting about 4 hours while playing Steam games, so it's pretty decent.

Its a good 3.5 to 4 hrs but leave mine charging with AC power most of time. I would recommend upgrading the memory to max amount for performance.

Saul,The battery lasts quite a long time depending on settings and how you have it set up. I have mine set up for High performance when plugged in, but when I put it on battery it goes into a light power mode which lasts for about 4 hours being that I am usually running several windows of word, excel, and multiple Java programming windows. If you are looking to get a gaming laptop with a high performance battery I would have to say this would be one of the top choices for a 17" laptop.
