it's honestly not that great. although my batteries still work after 3 months of use (c. 5 minutes/day), the lights are so much dimmer than when i first bought them. i am not impressed.

I like to use the brightness at full and with the Wi-Fi on, if I browse, email, etc, I think it lasts me around 3-4 hours. The battery life isn't too impressive on this laptop..

I've had mine about a year, my husband has had his for just a month or two. I watch some videos but mostly read books or look at bbc news or pinterest so brightness is up about halfway most of the time. I think it lasy fully charged for about two or three hours using it nonstop. Longer if im reading books already downloaded (like on the plane) chrged in about a 45min or so if its turned off, little slower in airplane mode. Note the brightness and things like gps location and wifi searching constantly use power in the background just like your phone! Turn off everything your not using :)

All I can say is that the battery life exceeds 1 hour of run time and without slowing down. I've never run it it beyond 1 hour nor has it gone dead. I'm very happy with it. Recharge time seem quick enough but I've not timed it.

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

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.

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

The battery life is as described. So far, I have not had to recharge it and I have used it for over a week straight for at least 1-2 hours a day.

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

I can't say that I've check on the battery life. It seems to last pretty long. I will check this week and try to repost.

Its a pretty long time. I charge it occasionally, but it has never died on me while I was using it.

The battery life is very good. I've been using it a couple of months now. I'm still using the furnished batteries. It has an on-off switch which would save on batteries even more, but I never remember to turn it off. It's very comfortable to use. I'm extremely pleased with it.

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.
