How long is the battery life?

While I love Amazon and buy lots of stuff, I bought the 8 GB Sansa Clip and had to send it back. Didn't work! I then went to the 4 GB and two of them didn't work! Amazon was great in taking of three of them back. However, I liked the SanDisk and bought one at Best Buy cause I could try it to make sure it worked. I use it every day for about an hour and charge the battery every other week. So, I guess the battery life is about 15 hours.

I have used it a couple of times, the battery lasted about 6 hours the first time, once I charged it fully it lasted about 12 hours and I haven't charged yet since. hope that helps.

Usually around 6-8 hours. I've never had the battery die on a full days use.

I do not have an exact time that the batteries last. I can tell you that I've used it numerous times and haven't really had any issues with battery life.

normal use being reading and sending e-mails, plus working with word documents, Evernote and browsing? the battery life is around 9 to 10 hours. if however you watch videos and play games, the battery life is around 3 to 4 hours.

On "Battery Saver" power settings with brightness of the screen turned down, for web browsing and word processing my battery runs to around 10% at about 6 hours or so. In the description on Amazon it advertises 6.5 hours of battery life. I'd say that is about correct.

Battery life is disappointing. I just got this, and it lasts somewhere around 13-15 minutes on a full charge.

5-8 hours depending on what you are doing and depending on what battery mode you have it in. There is power saver, balance, and high performance options

The battery doesn't last as long as the specs say it will, but then again, that is the case with all computers. I use quite a bit of CPU throughout the day, so without charging I would say it lasts 4 to 5 hours. Given the amount of CPU I'm using, I'm very please with that. If you are just using Microsoft Word and maybe 2 tabs of whatever browser, I would imagine the battery lasts much longer than 4-5 hours.

Hello Laura,I primarily use it at work and have it on all day (7-8 hours). The battery life seems to be good...generally lasts all week. Hope this info helps :)Marsha

Very long. I can sometimes get into some lengthy gaming marathons, and the battery has never been an issue. I estimate 4-6 hours depending on volume and battery health. Also note that you can use the device while it is charging, but the included cable is too short. If this is a major concern consider purchasing a longer USB cable with a Micro-B termination on one end.

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

About 6 - 8 hours if you run the battery all the way down. Which I dont recommend because your batteries wont last very long.

Sorry took so long to answer...battery life is maybe three days- I have to charge up every other day to make sure it doesn't die on me.

Jason, I have had mine for a couple of months and the battery lasts 5 - 7 hours depending on what I am doing. This is a great machine and very fast.

10 to 15 hours, depending on (moderate) usage. On sleep mode with Wi Fi on, it can last 50 hours or more.

About 2 hours with activity, stand by is several hours. But after a few weeks of use, battery life goes under 1 hour. I plugged it in for 3 hours, and only 1/3 of it was charged. Really awful battery life.
