How long is battery life while being used but not connected to wi-fi?

I don't use it that much. I get several hours of use on the battery. I always power off after each use. If I used it as much as I use my smart phone I would probably have to recharge on a daily basis.

4.5 to 5 hrs on normal WiFi on, web browsing and office productivity software usage

Hi, if you use all functions including the sync and wifi it should last 7-8 hours. On stand by I have had it last 24 hours

It really depends. If you stream videos with wifi connected (the most power consuming), it will last about 4 hours. Others without wifi connected, it will last last much longer.

The battery will last for about two to three hours when reading a down loaded book (kindle) or about an hour and a half for a down loaded game. I believed it lasted a little longer when I first got it about 1 year ago. This is with the Wi-Fi off. You can use it with it plugged in to a 120 v circuit.

I think it lasts a good long time. And I use it quite a bit with the WiFi function. And recently started using it remotely controlled with my phone. I went on an 8 day vacation to Turkey and Greece, and I don't think I had to recharge it at all. So, at least the battery life is good enough that it doesn't stand out in my memory as being a hassle.

depending on usage 3-5 hrs with heavy wifi usage and with brightest screen settings was my estimates

Battery life after a year of usage and taking good care is about 5 hours continuous. I can get 30 feet+ away (line of sight), but never needed to go outside the house with it. Concrete walls will block the signal like any wireless device. Mine only charges when plugged into a device that is turned on. I'd like to have 2. So one is charging while the other is in use wirelessly.

Sorry, I've never really timed it. I know it is at least 4 hours, and maybe it is more. But the last computer I used had had a bad battery for so many years, that I had almost forgotten I could ever use a computer that was not plugged in. Not that it matters, but I purposely ordered this computer with Windows 7 because I did not want to use Windows 8 on a computer that was not touch screen. I have had the computer for about a month and haven't had any problems so far, unlike the person who wrote the previous comment.

Up to five people can access this device with not slowing or delays it's pretty amazing. If you plan to use for an extended time like in the car buy a USB charger plug and Pluto the device into it and it will run as long as the power is on. Normal battery life is up to four hours. One note you cannot use the wifi on the device when you plug into a computer. There are good tech reasons for this that's why the USB charger is a good option.

I hadn't really tested battery life, so I fully charged the tablet, then set up the power controls to never turn off the display or PC. Then I set it down and let it run. So far it has been 6 1/2 hours and it's still going. The battery indicator says 11% left for 38 more minutes. I suppose the power consumption might have been somewhat higher if I were streaming something, maybe I'll try that test after this, but it definitely has a good battery life. This test was run with WiFi on but without the bluetooth keyboard.

On full brightness, I can surf the web, listen to music, and type a Word document for nearly 2.5-to-3 hours. Battery life is excellent for casual computing.

I can't give you any idea about battery life because I use this computer at my home desk, plugged in most of the time. But I can tell you I've been very happy with this purchase.

I am in Saudi Arabia, and my unit works wherever I am, in a car, bus, hotel, etc. Like a cell phone, there must be a tower it can connect to! It uses the local 3G cell phone signal to make your wifi hotspot. I've been very impressed with it - it's performed much better than I expected. Battery life in constant use is almost 4 hours - I learned that one night by forgetting to plug it in. Standby time, according to the manual, is 100 hours. I bought an extra battery and trade them off. It's slow to charge by USB, faster if you can plug it in. Great unit! Hope this helps.

William, thanks for taking the time to respond. I will also let everyone know what kind of battery life we observe. Best of luck to you.ww

I guess it depends on what you classify as "extreme" use. If you have wifi on, GPS on, are concurrently downloading videos while surfing the web, I'd say 9 hours is probably about right. Try it with the OEM battery and see what your battery life is with the same conditions. My guess it is 4 or 5 hours.

The brightness of the screen and activity of the wifi make a big difference. If you have the screen on high and watching youtube it is going to last about 3.5 hours. With the screen brightness low and just messing around reading newspapers online it will last up to 6 hours.
