I am very concerned about battery life. I will use it mostly riding my bike early morning when it is dark and probably at the indoor range.

When used in the holster provided. It turns itself off... if you want you car use the manual mode and turn it off, on. Off when on the bike or on when you think it might be needed. I have used mine on the Harley ridding for over 6 months still no problems and when I check it its still very bright...

The battery life is not great. Even keeping the laser off most of the time, the battery still drains. BUT... the Viridian laser is Great! It's worth having to change the batteries every 4-5 months to have that 'instant on' when you pull the gun out of the holster. I rarely shoot my LCP. I shot it at the range to check the alignment of the laser, but it's basically a 'get off me' type weapon, so I'm not concerned about running a lot of rounds through it.

I think the battery needs to be changed fairly frequently. I have only had it for a few months, but after 3-4 times at the range, the battery light has started to flash red. Hasn't shut off yet, but this suggests that battery life is not very long.

Battery life stinks to be honest. I bought an additional 10pack and found leaving the laser on and ready to be on when drawing from holster i average about a month before red light is blinking and batteries are ready to die. 3 months ago i left laser off and theyre still good to this day.Luckily batteries are cheap enough but still frustrating knowing that even holstered it eats them up.

I'm not totally certain about the battery life. I left mine on using it here and there through the day and it well into the evening before I had to plug it in again. I also know that I left in sleep mode for over a week and it still had about 70% battery left it. It impressed me how long it would hold its battery power

I have had mine about six months of very light usage and the battery is dying as well; however, since I don't know how long it was in the package before I bought it I can't yet speak to expectancy.

I'm guessing battery life would be dependent on adverse weather it's subjected to. If using within a garage where cold temperatures could creep in, I'd guess much lower than 3 years, maybe less than a year. But who knows. I'd imagine, though, that it shouldn't be so short that it's a hindrance.

My experience is similar, although I don't usually use it constantly all day. I keep it charging whenever I'm not using it.

Many of the reviews here on Amazon mention poor battery life. I would use it for the gym and on the plane. My concern is I am often on the plane 2+ hours so a 2 hour battery life would not be good for me. Not sure how many games I would be playing so purely for audio purposes it might be OK. I would go with a 2nd or 3rd generation Nano, but I am repalcing a 30GB iPod and going down to 4 or 8GB is not preferred. I am OK with 16GB, but no less so I think I still might choose this model. I originalyl had the Touch but I am lookign to get an iPhone later this year so I decided to return the Touch. Many of the reviews here on Amazon mention poor battery life.

It depends on what a full day is. My battery only last a couple hours of non-constant shooting.

It is depend on battery life. This is a bright light. I have been using it for two weeks already. It is still good. I mounted two light on my bike because I ride in the dark and ride fast so I want to see the road bright and clean in distance and in front of my bike so drivers can see me too. This is a very bright light. I am please with the purchase. I am going to buy some more of this light.

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.

At the moment, there is not which is disappointing since it may be a cause of not only draining the battery slowly but also a little annoying when using it at night and day. I will look into this more and report back to you when I find a solution, well if I do.

Battery life is ok. I bought an extra battery at local radio shack because I use it at night.I use it a lot for the infared light so not real sure about normal light but it does well at night. Only real problem I have yet to figure out is you can only use the software they have included and I cannot figure out how to put anything I have recorded on dvd.

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

Well, unfortunately I'm not an avid gamer so I am not on it that often, but I have found that if you have it in sleep mode it does a very good job of retaining power. If I were to estimate, if you played it as much as the average owner, I would say you could get a guaranteed couple days out of it...I might even venture and say three days. Again thats just a guess.You might wanna poke around online and google some sites that will give you some good insight on the battery life. Hope I was able to help at least a little. Have fun and keep gaming! ;)

The battery life is better than I expected,I put 2 used batteries several months ago and just dropped to 2 bars out of 3,I use it daily.

Battery life should be able to last you for the whole day, only if you don't spend a good amount of that time using apps and going on the internet. Otherwise it'll die within 8 hours. Using straight out of the box, yeah you should be able to but you'll have to set up a motorola account before using it.

Hi.I have owned this laptop for a couple of months now and it is amazing. The average battery life I am getting while running wifi and having the brightness about 3/4 bright, I am getting 5 1/2 hours. With wifi off running regular programs like Word, Excel and Powerpoint, I am getting about 6-6/12 hours. Amazing battery life

I've been testing mine out recently - I run for about 2hours, 2hours 15 mins. It usually lasts 2 such days - so 4- 4 1/2 hours- which is quite disappointing. I have a feeling indoor battery life maybe slightly better. I was looking for the "rated" battery like myself. Would be nicer if it went a week without charge.
