How long does a battery last on this monitor?
217021
Well in a hot environment a fully charge battery gives me a hour top it seems to over heat 50 to 60 day temperature about two hours I was told it would not overheat but I think it does. I work with 4 batteries to keep them cool and take brakes after 30 minutes to avoid complete shooting while shooting. Please advice if I maybe using this wrong thanks.

Hard to say how long the battery lasts. I bought the large battery that mounts on the side of the camera which was defective. So, I bought a 12 volt riding lawn mower battery, put it into a small soft sided ice chest designed for packing lunches and attached lightweight battery cables to the 12 volt cable that came with the defective battery. The Lilliput monitor will run for days on this battery and it hangs from the tripod or sits on the ground.

I've used this (and had it ON) for about 4 hours but never any longer. I have two batteries because I use it on location quite often. It's a great monitor - get it! The sun shade is a bit flimsy but a replacement can be bought here at Amazon for like fifteen bucks. I use it to review video - and also to pull focus.

When it is fully charged, it lasts about a week, and then the battery loses one bar. I presume it can go a month and be just about ready to "die." It never actually "turns off" otherwise--the clock display is always on. But this is just in standby mode, without using the features.

I don't believe you can change the battery but I am surprised by your numbers. I've gotten over 9 hours while driving a projector from the video port for at least half that time. Granted I do dim the display and set the processor to max power savings but even when I run it full out I get at least 4 hours.

It depends on the computer you're using it with, your screen brightness, whether or not you're on the internet, watching videos, have the volume turned up, etc. I get about 2 hours average, which is about 40% of the 5 hours I got on the Lenovo brand battery that came with my laptop.

For me it's about an hour, maybe a little longer on gaming mode. About 2hr and 15 min on balanced mode, just depends on what you are running, brightness etc. It has never died on me when I needed it though.

When our battery stopped working, I tried unsuccessfully to get a new battery. When I contacted the manufacturer, they told me that they do not sell replacement batteries. We wound up having to buy a new monitor (of a different brand that has a better battery that can be replaced if needed). The manufacturer may have changed this since then (fall of 2012), so you might try contacting them. Good luck!

I'm getting a lot more than the other answers so far. I keep the display a couple ticks below maximum brightness most of the time, which helps, but I get a good eight hours.

i get about 6 hours on basic day to day things, like internet and word document. but i keep the backlit keyboard turned of, the screen brightness on low, and i keep it on powersave mode. on the first day that i got it, i was curious how long it would last if i did absolutely nothing, just letting the computer idle. (screen turned of as well). i got over 9 hours.

The monitor always has to be plugged in, but some can be wired into power. If you do that, wire it to acc power so it shuts off when you turn the key off. The sending units are well built and totally sealed. No batteries to replace and they should last about 5yrs.

The mAh number is just the capacity of the batter (i.e. how long a single charge will last). So you may see that the battery may not last as long as the original battery when you first got the monitor. In any case it will last longer than the original one does now, considering it needs replacing.

I put batteries in mine 3 months ago. I've only pulled my trailer 3,000 miles, that's about 60 hours. Batteries are still working fine. Keep in mind that the monitor has auto shut-off if it doesn't feel vibrations of the road, I've had mine shut down while stuck in traffic jams. The unit also comes with a cigarette lighter plug.

Using minium programs with dim screen settings I have gotten close to six to eight hours usually. While gaming heavily usually with bright screens closer to four.A big plus though is that it recharges very quickly.

Im sure if you look on line someone will sell a battery for this monitor. There all kinds of places that sell them on line.

on a full charge, my battery - the original that came with the computer, lasts 2-4 days. But I shut mine down at night, so it's not running 24/7. But it is on when I'm working.

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've had mine for almost two years and have changed the battery once. Over a year on the current battery. About 7 hours a day average browsing use.
