How long is the battery life?

As you know, the answer depends on what exactly you're using it for. If you're just taking snap shots without all the art features, or just a bit of video here and there, then for me the battery lasts for weeks. However, if you're out doing HD 1080 filming, which I do often, then I'll go through a battery every two to four days with over an hour worth of clips to show for it (with image stabilizer off & not using the zoom). However, when I do use the built in image stabilizer for video and pic taking as well as zoom, I only get about 30 min worth of video. When my battery is finally drained, it takes about three to four hours to recharge. As you know, the answer depends on what exactly you're using it for.

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.

It´s 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 I´m still very happy with my purchase, its a great laptop.

Battery life is about three hours on constantly . I know this because I used it this long while recently tracking a deer in the rain

The battery life is about 12 hours as it says on the package yet i know personally that they have lasted 10, so that is the maximum that i have tried 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.

I should add to my previous response that the battery life on a full charge is at least 8 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 pretty good. I like it because it is rechargeable. Just plug it into an outlet.

I've never had mine die on me but I've taken it for a six hour trip and it had about 25% battery power afterwards so I'd guess maybe about eight hours in total.

It depends on your performance settings and what you're doing on the laptop. I use mine with high performance and generally use light programs (MS Office) and web browsing and it generally lasts about 2-4 hours depending. The life of the battery can extend quite beyond that I believe by turning off features and downgrading performance, but I have not really explored those features fully.

In my experience, a fully charged battery lasts 7 to 8 hours, depending on how loud you have it and how far from the base station it is.

Honestly I have never measured the battery life but, for what its worth, quite a bit of times i leave it on accidentally for 2 days or so and it still has enough battery. If youre using it connected to the usb its not going to run out of battery because its getting powered by it.

Many factors affect battery life. I can usually get 4-5 hours out of it if I am not doing a lot of surfing and I dim my screen as I notice the battery getting low.

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.

That's a good question. I don't see the battery life mentioned in the literature, but I don't think it has 10 hours of battery life. I'm prompted for a power source after a couple of hours. I have to say though, that I love this computer and highly recommend it. My husband is a software engineer. He chose the computer based on its specs out of a number of other options. He was so right. It's a powerful computer.
