How long does the battery in this laptop last while watching movies?

I managed to watch both The Wolf of Wall Street and The Hangover, as well as about a half hour of Word use, on a single charge

I don't play games, but I have watched two full length movies from Amazon and Netflex, and still had an hour or two left. I bought a new Pavilion g7 and used this battery and it lasts twice as long as my older G72. I easily get 6 or 7 hours on my new laptop.

It depends on what you are doing. Down loading a movie via a hotel WiFi - the laptop and ext battery both died.

Have watched a whole Netflix movie and a also fair amount of browsing, email, facebook, etc.. Easily lasts through my day.. Not tried the SD card yet, but that should be better for the battery than wifi streaming streaming.. It needs to charge for over couple of hours to gain back full charge, though..

The battery life of this Polaroid 4.3" tablet is not that great. If you turn off WiFi and set brightness to 50% while watching movie, you can expect about 5 hours of runtime.

3-4 hours-ish, if you leave all the background stuff running. Less if you leave all the background stuff running and are using the blu-ray. But since I'm almost never anywhere with it that doesn't have an outlet--including trains, train stations, airports, etc., battery life isn't too much of an issue usually. Just turn off applications you don't actually need to be running if on a long flight or train ride to preserve battery life.

I've watched 2 movies on it without charging. That is as far as I have tried.

The write up on this battery said it would last around three hours but I've found that using the energy saving mode on my laptop gets me around six hours of surfing the web before having to recharge. Movies, playing music and other functions can eat away at that time but for the most part it holds a charge very well. I've had the battery for over a year and it hasn't slacked off a bit. Great Buy!!!

I haven't really watched video off the hdd yet, however I have streamed movies off the net. I'd have to say it gives me a good 5 hours and I suspect a little more even after the battery meter goes to red. It doesn't display battery life in % like my Htc Tilt so it's tough to guess.

Sorry for the delay. The battery I purchased for my laptop is working great. Only $20-25 dollars and working like it did when I first got it. Holds a charge for 6-8 hours if I am not watching a movie. Really pleased with the purchase.

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.

About3 to 4 hours. Battery isn't a strong point here. I didn't buy it to use the battery however, so I'm pleased with it. Really a grade A laptop. I'm sure this varies based on task and performance settings.

Hi Gregory,I have had mine for several months now and have absolutely no issues with it. Battery life might not be as good as some would like (4 - 6 hours, depending upon specific use), but mine stays mostly plugged in, so it is really a non-issue for me. I use mine for work, have produced a few videos with it just to compare it with my desktop system, and use it in conjunction with Chromecast to watch high definition movies on my large screen TV. The 17" display on the laptop is very good at watching high definition movies from short distances. There may be better units out there, but I am not disappointed at all with this one.

I haven't had mine long so I haven't worn the battery down, but in-the-box new my laptop has been lasting about 4 hours while playing Steam games, so it's pretty decent.

so far for last couple of months that looks like the battery hold a full charge on video and music to last up to 5 to 6 hours. it's less than 4 months old so u have to judge that yourself.

Mine is good for about 4 hours. I guess it depends on how you have your laptop set up. I don't play games or watch movies, strictly read email and maybe hit facebook or pinterest.

Sorry, haven't really noticed. My kids can go through a whole movie with some battery life left.
