What is battery life & estimate of how many open close cycles?

I have used it with the same set of batteries that came with it. Already greater than 2,000 times and batteries seem ok. I would switch lithium in this type of device after the batteries slow down. I notice temperature influences response. Lithium batteries have a wider temperature range. I forgot the time factor. 6 months so far. It is challenging to install.

It uses 6 AA batteries. We use ours on the order of 8-10 times a day and batteries easily last a year or more.

Hi Hafeez, the battery can run up to 3.5 hours in normal usage.Thanks, PCrush

What is regular use? With the original battery I could work about 8 hours, with this one about 20. Reducing screen brightness can give you another 30% more battery life.

Good, I assume. I have been using it 8+ hours/ day for 5 dats a week and I've had it over a month now and haven't had to replace the battery yet.

It depends upon the frequency of use. I open/close my door about 2-3 times a day. It's been about 3 months now and it's still showing me 100% battery with my SmartThings platform

In standbys or light use such as occasionally checking emails and answering phone calls the charge last me all day (14hrs). I get that with the original battery also. It is important to note that it took about 3 charging cycles to get this performance. Out of the box after original charge I only got 8 hrs, but in my case performance improved after more use. Heavy use gets me about 6-8 hrs depending on what I am doing.

mauri88, I don't use this computer so I can't give you an exact statement on battery life. However, I bought my daughter this 14" screen HP Envy with 8 gigs of ram. Upon receiving it I immediately removed the factory hard drive and installed a Toshiba 512 Gig SSD. My daughter uses her HP Envy for hours on the battery. I have never heard her complain about her Envy battery's charge running out. She really likes her 14" screen HP Envy.

depends on what programs you will be running...I can get 6hours out of this battery.

I've had mine for a few months now and ive let it go from full charge to dead a couplde times to keep the battery maintained. I'd say an estimate of 7-8 hours on standby i.e. on but no real processes. Maybe longer than that. I do know that under stressful procedures i.e. multiple processes running such as a gaming client, chat system, word processor, internet, spotify etc it goes from full battery to no battery in 3 hours or less. This is just based on what I've had. Take it with a grain of salt I guess.

I guess it depends on what you classify as "extreme" use. If you have wifi on, GPS on, are concurrently downloading videos while surfing the web, I'd say 9 hours is probably about right. Try it with the OEM battery and see what your battery life is with the same conditions. My guess it is 4 or 5 hours.

I don't remember exactly since I stored it now but it is enough for 10 hours of constant operation in low settings.

I have run it for about 6 hrs before on a fully charged battery. Sometimes 7 depending on how often it is used. I keep a spare fully chargedbattery on hand just in case.

Depends I have about 3 to 4 hours on batt live at one time, it can be up two 6-7 if you are not using a lot of apps! Some people say 12 hours(hard to believe though.)

I do not know away to check battery life , 5-6 hrs of steady playing with full charge has been the average .

The battery life has been great so far! I've had mine for two months, I never turn it off, and I use my computer for 8-12 hours every day. The batteries haven't needed changed yet.

What is the shelf life of this battery unit if I plan to keep it as a back up battery?

I got it mid summer 2014 It had 10 hrs of battery. Since I'm an engineering student I never turn off my laptop and I'm always pushing it to its limits. It's lasted without any problems and still has 10 hrs(w/o internet of course). With internet it has about 8hrs. It's lasted 3/4 of the year with no decrease in performace
