Can anyone tell me more about the five hour max usage?

I cannot. Guess I didn't read the fine print. No problems with the bulbs. They look great.

I have mine in a regular light as well as a ceiling fan. I have not had a problem with any of them and I know they have been on for many hours. They seem to last as long as any regular lightbulb.

I have an 8 pendant light fixture in my dining room that I use these bulbs in. I have definitely used them for more than 5 hours at a time without any problem. My fixture is on a dimmer though and I rarely have it all the way on, as the 8 bulbs together are very bright.

You can easily get 6.5 hours i think, i haven't really timed it because i haven't drained it from top to bottom. You can probably get 7-7.5 hours on eco-mode so 6.5 hours is a minimum i'd say of what you get, i advise you to buy it

If you are running it on gaming mode, it won't last an hour--even if you aren't actually gaming. It has gone 2 hours unplugged for me in balanced mode.

It can be set for more than 3 hours. I just went up to 12 hours to see if it has a maximum but I don't think it does.

There isn't a time limit. It holds about a week's worth of food for me. You might want to set up a battery backup, though, because it will lose the programming if it loses power.

3 hours if you are using the maximum performance option, about 5-6 if you are on battery saver. :)

Around 5 -6 hours usually, ofcourse depending on how much multitasking is being done

It only lasts a 2 - 2 1/2 hours MAX for me. And I have my computer on the settings to maximize the battery life. Very disappointing.

The battery doesn't last as long as the specs say it will, but then again, that is the case with all computers. I use quite a bit of CPU throughout the day, so without charging I would say it lasts 4 to 5 hours. Given the amount of CPU I'm using, I'm very please with that. If you are just using Microsoft Word and maybe 2 tabs of whatever browser, I would imagine the battery lasts much longer than 4-5 hours.

Around 4-5 hrs with normal usage (movies, music and MS office software).Hope this helps.

In power saver mode, can use for 4 to 5 hours, less in high performance mode.

It is definitely not 7,5 hours. 3 to 4 hours, I would guess. I used it more than 3 hours yesterday, but I think that you will not get 4 on that battery, even if power management is set to reduce maximum. After a year, I expect 3.Right now it says 1:56 (46%) remaining. Indicating +4 hours totally.Cheers

I am seeing anywhere between 5-7 hours typically of continuous use depending on what tasks I am performing.

Haven't used it for more than 4 hours, don't know exactly how long it would last. Would expect not to have less than 6 hours of usage from it at its depletion rate. Battery life becomes a non-issue with this battery.

No idea, fully charged I can use for 5 hrs or so before plugging in, hope that helps

I get about 4.5hrs with the high performance setting. I'm not a big fan of power saving mode. Haha

I have been getting about 4 hours but I have never run it all the way down. I also have not changed any of the default setting so you might get more by cutting performance.
