Hi. I live in a roomy townhome and one charge does drawing, dining, kitchen on level 1, stairs and 2 bedrooms and corridor on level above. I can do whole house in 1 charge with some battery still left-over. After 30-40 days of use, there has been no problem with battery life. Please do also read my review for some more info. Best wishes...

My battery at full charge lasts about 5-7 minutes. I hate it and it is the thing about this vacuum that turns a 4 or 5 star into a 1. I'd give it a zero if I could. The manufacturer sent me a replacement battery after the first one failed very soon after purchasing, but even the replacement only lasts a few minutes, and it requires recharging every couple of days, which is terrible! If we have to leave the battery in the charger on all the time, we waste a lot of electricity and $$. A powerful lithium ion battery would solve this issue. I cannot recommend this vacuum and am sorry I bought it. My battery at full charge lasts about 5-7 minutes. I hate it and it is the thing about this vacuum that turns a 4 or 5 star into a 1.

The specific battery life depends on what you're doing but it is incredible. I've had my Brinno since last fall and used it a lot, including a 24 hour stint out in sub freezing weather. It STILL has the orginal batteries in it and hasn't lost any charge apparently. Note that I've never used it on ASAP, but my experience says go for it!

Hi,I have mine since two years ago, the battery had a duration between 2 and 3 hours, but since one year ago it last around 30-45 min.

It probably took about two hours for the battery to fully charge. I have used it off-and-on for maybe an hour a night for two weeks. The battery is still going strong. The unit goes to sleep after 15 minutes of non-use to save battery. Hope that helps.

Mine has lasted at least a couple of hours. I haven't needed it longer than that.

I'd say mine lasts just under 3 hours at the lowest power levels. The battery is easy to remove, so you can always buy a second battery to double your life.

Did everyone try charging the unit while it is powered off?It seems to make a different to me. I bought three(3) and so far all battery seemed to be decently averaged out around 2.5 hours or so (mainly net surfing and video conferencing) after few months of usage. Power on while charging seems like charges don't hold too well even it shows 100% charged.Try it out...it may make some different.

It usually last for 2 hours. You should be able to get a second Battery, even a bigger one.

Hey Derrick... I charged it when I received it on April 30. I use it on average 2-3 hours per evening. I use the back light function every 30 minutes or so and the unit is in standby during the 2-3 hours of use. I turn the unit off each evening. I have not yet had to charge the battery.

I cannot attest to battery life. That would depend upon usage. The entire length of the unit is 2.75 inches.

The battery seems to last a long time .I have had mine for over two years and I may have replaced the batteries once but I am not even sure about that. Bottom line is: how long the battery lasts should not even be a consideration when deciding to buy. I love the darn thing. I just wish I could find out how to turn the alarm off.

You can dim the screen, turn off blue tooth and the wifi (when you're not using it) and shorten the time it waits unused until it turns itself off. Most of these are in the Power Management section. There are F key buttons to toggle some of them. I believe there is also a setting that will allow the computer to drain the battery down closer to zero charge. As it is I believe it turns off with about 25% remaining as a margin of safety. I did everything I could think of and don't get anything like 14 hours of life. It is beyond mere marketing hype to claim 14 hours. Really it is a lie. Perhaps I now get 10 hours.

We have had ours for 18 months and during the day, it is off the charger and we use it for our daughters 2 hour nap time and the 2 -3 hours while she is in bed before we go to bed and I put it back on the charger. It seems to do fine. Then we just leave it on the charger all night and we have never had to replace any batteries. So overall, we are pretty satisfied with battery life.

Depends on how many times you push to use or just to scare someone. My has lasted up to 24hrs. With me just playing around and setting it off for 4 or 5 hrs. and I still had charge next day.

I have had the battery on, outside at a party for 8 hours. The volume was just shy of full blast and it still had a lot of juice the next day. So even if you have it up full blast you get quite a long, long time outta the battery!!! Love my Melody...

Sorry for the late reply...I do believe the stated battery life is correct, at least for the remote pad as it seems to use quite a bit of power. I put two new batteries in a week ago and had to replace them today. I think they should have used batteries that provided a bit more capacity than the 2 triple A batteries that are used.

I've run mine for over 2 hours but never until the battery ran out. I hope that helps.
