It lasts quite a while. I don't use mine much but I have only put one set of batteries in.

I got mine in the mail 2 days ago from Amazon. Battery is defn larger and add some weight, however I prefer both. The larger size cups in my hand well, and the weight gives a sturdy feeling to the device. Obviously both just opinions. However I got roughly 32 hours out of the battery with moderate to heavy usage. Left Skype, IM, GPS, and Live Wallpapers on the entire time. I also used the navigation a few times. It was defiantly worth the buy.

Seems quite lasting. Mine still works well after 6mth. But I'm not a frequent user though

I find I use the device about 10 times per round. I play an average of 3 rounds a week so if each use is a "session" the battery should last over 6 years. We'll see.

That battery was amazing. It lasted a lot longer than the stock battery did. I don't really k ow how long it took to charge because I usually just plugged it in as I went to bed at night.

Battery life is fine, I've only had to actually replace them one time since my purchase. Checked the mouse with new batteries to make sure the issues weren't battery related, but they persisted so I stuck the old batteries back inside every time. So one battery change after ~4.5 months of fairly heavy daily use.

I've yet to kill my battery . I got it down to 3 percent the other night after play games intensely plus some Facebook and after it reached 3 percent I quit play games and listened to Pandora for an hour and it went to 2 percent and I plugged in up to charge . I'd say 8 to 10 hours just guessing give or take depending on the individual .

So far so good Yuliya. I haven't had it for a year but I sure am tickled that I can have almost six hours of battery life with out it shutting down. I can't say I was really expecting that much time and good performance. Let just hope the warranty isn't needed before the battery wears out. Forget the computer battery! Hell, I just hope my own battery doesn't wear out before my warranty is up!

I just got the 16GB for Christmas. After reading all the battery posts, the first thing I did was charge it fully, then play it until the battery died. I got 20+ hours. I think a lot has to do with how often the screen is "lit". If you're constantly shuffling through, picking songs, adjusting volume etc. i think one would get less life than just playing it like I did (the screen was black most of the time since I wasn't adjusting anything). And of course, i would expect video or games to kill the battery even quicker. That would be a good test, play a video straight through and see the life. I don't have any videos loaded, so I can't really test that.

Yes, I'll would be lucky if my Innotab lasts 3 hours - maybe more if I don't have to reboot the device. Considering that an external 9V adapter is required and yet the device only takes 4 batteries (for a total of 6V) I wonder if this unit is really underpowered with the batteries alone.

What battery are you using? I couldn't find any of the alternatives, so I use the 6 AA batteries and did two 30-min video sessions without changing them. Hope this helps! Charlie Seymour Jr, http://CharlieTheMarketer.com/sample-videos

I get extremely good battery life, I believe the biggest power draw to be the HDD (which I replaced with a Samsung 840 Evo), so that may be why I get better than most. I also use the sleep function A LOT! But, this is my school and travel computer and I use it about 2-3 hours a day and only plugin every other day.

I have to replace my battery on average of once a month. The monitor gets used 90 minutes a day on average. This seems high to me. Not sure what other monitors performance is.

I may not be the best test case for this but I can say it lasted me the entire week on vacation and had 20% of the battery life left after 7 days. I probably used it much less than the average user so I am sure your results will vary depending on usage. I would guess it would last at least the entire day under normal use.

The batteries average life is 1 to 2 years. Usually after 6 months of use, it will start to give you less mileage per charge.

Plenty for me, but when I go to an event/party, 20-30 shots, is by far the most I'll take (otherwise people get sick of ya ;) and that doesn't even put a dent in the initial battery's starting point. I know they're always trying to sell extra batteries, but i think that is excessive. It lasts for a quite a while, including if it isn't used for a period of days.

Hi W.J. Two thoughts here. First, I'm not happy with the performance of the battery's life -- seem to work OK for low power items (i.e. wireless mouse), but fall way short of the mark for higher demand items (flashlight) -- I'd guess 10 to 15% of an Alkaline battery life. That said, and in all fairness, it appears there were a number of 'knock-offs' introduced into the selling stream. I'm not sure if mine were part of the counterfit lot. The customer service group at Eneloop aren't the easiest to work with either. I invested about $350 in batteries, cases, charger, sleeves. I wish I could get my money back and move on. Sorry to share my disappointing experience. I hope yours is better.
