What's the battery life?

You have to buy the energizer lithium batteries. They will last you about 15-20 hrs. Use for only one day of shooting, they dont hint at dying, they will stay at three bars and then go to zero in less than 5 mins at end of life

I had fantastic luck with regular double A batteries as well. Generally, they would last for maybe about 8 hours of life, and I always got accurate battery life readouts, and was always able to replace them when they got low without any issues.

can't tell you exactly but i can tell you that it ill last you the entire day. I always place new batteries at the start of every shoot

Depends very much on what you are running. Using WIFI and doing typical work activities such as email, web browsing, word, etc., I have seen over 9 hours. If you're watching a movie streamed via 4GLTE the battery life does suffer. I have not timed it, but 6 hours seems pretty close under those contitions.

I have the same laptop, and have been using the battery for about three weeks. So far, so good. The battery life is definitely lower than the original battery, but I didn't keep in-depth stats on the original, so it's hard to gauge. I get about 1.5 hours of life out of this battery when watching movies.

I haven't actually timed it, but I've been able to use it quite a bit without recharging. I use quite a lot on Sundays and for hours at a time on other days of the week. Takes several days before I have to recharge. I have been impressed with the battery life.

I am looking at the battery life indicator now and it says 1hr 57 minutes, 54% remaining. So it looks like about 4 hours.

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

Can't tell you in hours or days, but battery life is really good. We have multiple users so hard to judge.

Maybe 2 hours on battery saving mode if your lucky. If battery life is a concern I'd look elsewhere. This computer is mostly a desktop replacement.

Hi.I have owned this laptop for a couple of months now and it is amazing. The average battery life I am getting while running wifi and having the brightness about 3/4 bright, I am getting 5 1/2 hours. With wifi off running regular programs like Word, Excel and Powerpoint, I am getting about 6-6/12 hours. Amazing battery life

Fully charged it now says 4 hours and 5 minutes. Actual time depends on what I am using the computer for. Overall, I am pleased with the battery life.

Thanks very much for your response. I'm only getting about an hour or less of battery life. I'm very disappointed. Thanks again.

Its no more than 4.5 hrs. I looked at the customers reviews before I buy it so I knew the battery life had not the best average. But Im still very happy with my purchase, its a great laptop.

battery life is good (Haven't done an exact measurement, but it seems like I recharge about every 3 or 4 days). It has an automatic sleep function that preserves the battery life. Full charge in about 2 hours.

I have been disappointed in the battery life. I was at a convention, started taking photos (no flash) alternating with some video. Battery was dead by afternoon, and that was NOT non-stop photo shooting by any means. If I had to guess, I would estimate 20 short videos and about 275 photos. I didn't have a spare and no way to charge, and missed the rest of the day. Buy a backup, definitely!

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

I would say the battery life depends on the display settings. With full illumination, I think it's about 6 hours.

The most I have had battery life is a little over 2 hrs. If you charge it and don't use it right away it will die. But honestly for the money its a good price. Hope this helps.
