Is there any battery life ie can it operate without USB connection for a limited time ? If so how long ?

Just with USB connection, but it's so tiny you can just put it right beside the computer (even a laptop) and it's not in the way.

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.

There is an extra battery but no USB cable. You can buy a card reader with USB connection.

I use bluetooth for my Microsoft Wireless mouse, so I don't have to worry about the USB dongle getting lost/broken. It does use up more battery juice though.

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.

It typically lasted 3 to 4 hours if I didn't attach USB devices to it. (I usually use about 85% of full screen brightness.)

Hi there! You can leave the battery in the camera while connected via USB to computer. Easy way to recharge....

Troy may be right. Leaving the USB connected 24/7 may kill the battery. My arrow keys quit after 3 months. Next day the delete key reversed directions! Then the illumination keys quit. Logitech doesn't offer replacement batteries and I think mine is shot.

As far as it lasting, I think your questions is does it work off of battery source? Its plug and play. Inserts into your usb on computer to usea/c power. I have had mine a few months, and I love it.Mark

As to the answer I am sorry you cannot turn it off and it does stay on in stand-by mode. If you want it off unplug the usb.

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.

I down load my rides daily and leave the unit attached to my computer until the next ride. I have tried taking it off the USB cable and after 1 day it will need to be recharged and will not record a ride. So, I guess the answer is battery life is less than 24 hours. My unit is about 5 months old and I ride pretty much every day.

Mine is near 3 years old. Battery life is certainly shortened now (probably 10-12 minutes run time) but zero complaints about its performance. Gets used a few minutes every few days. I have been guilty of leaving it on charge a few days over the years. Certainly been a good value so far. Will likely built my own battery for it when the run time is unusable.

Internal memory no, battery yes. Works only if connected through Bluetooth or USB computer

Yes, it can be used without connecting the power adapter if your USB device power requirements are low enough. The only power available in that case would be the power supplied by your USB port on the computer, usually only 500 ma.

I generally charge it for about ten to fifteen minutes and work a full time job and it's never really died on me...If I get up to leave the computer I'll usually just hook it up and when I come back unplug it and I'm good to go. Never had it die on me yet.

No to both questions. The battery is internal, and the screen does not support touch. When unplugged, for basic browsing and office functions I get about 3-4 hours before I need to plug it in again. Also, I'm not a fan of touch screens, which is why I went with this laptop, I have it running windows 7 which I had to purchase.
