Is the Battery life any good? How long will it keep me during the day?

Battery life depends on a number of factors. It depends on the applications that you use, the device settings, & the enviormental factors like temperature.It has about the same battery life as my 2 year old iPad. I charge my unit any time that I can, and use it while it is charging.

Not sure how much time you'd be spending actively using it vs just having it ready to be used, but I am charging it every other day. I do find that it seems to take longer than other devices to re charge fully. And the cord is oddly short! I received a pop up Msg that encouraged me to close unused apps to preserve battery life. By long pressing the center button open apps appear and they swipe away to close.

The battery life is more like the m7 processor very effecient and last very long .

battery life is awful unless turning brightness down to an almost unreadable level. i've had it a YEAR and it is on the charger several times a week even with very light use. it takes 4 to 5 hours to charge. -TOO LONG! using it while charging? what's the point of having a mobile device if it must be tethered to a power outlet most of the time? to boot, the placement of the charging port at the bottom of the tablet is very uncomfortable. a straight (not angled) cable sticking me in the lap is just not sexy. i'm very dissapointed with this overpriced gadget.

Yeah, but it is a delicate device, mine broke after I dropped it on carpet. Other than that, you won't find a faster tablet on the market. Definitely better than the new ipads

I would wager that I use this tablet as heavily as anyone would. I take handwritten notes on it in every class. 4-5 hours of continuous use a day, and I get 2 days on a full charge. That being said, I turn the brightness down which helps a lot with battery consumption. When playing a graphics intensive game on full brightness, which you should do at least once just to see the screen (it's beautiful), I get around 3-4 hours of non stop use on a full charge. Hope this helps. Overall this is an amazing tablet and I am thrilled with my experience.

Ultimately depends on usage but it usually charge mine maybe 2 a week at night while sleeping. Overall last longer than my ipad, surface, and tab 3.... best overall tablet.

it's very good. I watched a FHD movie for two and a half hours and the battery went from 99% to 74%. My guess is it is probably good for 10 hours. It runs very cool.I charged it overnight occasionally. As far as battery life is concerned, it is much much better than my iPad3

To be honest, my old tablet (original galaxy note, before 2014 edition) lasted 3 or 4 times longer. When you do things like e-mail, facebook, internet surfing, etc. The battery lasts ok. But, when you play games (newer games) the battery goes fast. Even plugged in, my tablet cant keep up.

It's like any other smartphone; it'l last days if you use it for nothing more than voice calls. If you use the GPS and 4G radios a lot, you'll drain it down in less than a day.My overall judgment of the battery life would be Decent - Good.

yes it is,when fully charged it lasts for a entire day,it depends on your usage.

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

Yes. I recommend you get a spare battery even though the battery will most likely last you all day.

Battery life, with minimal usage, is about 24hrs.I dont use mine for constsnt training like some may do so as long as its plugged in at night it'll work throughout the day.

I've had it for about a month now and it still runs good as new. Battery life lasts about a week if used constantly.

I'm not sure on the battery life, if that's what you're asking, or how the build quality is. Build quality is ok, nothing too nice. Battery's are built in and rechargeable.

Battery life is pretty good. I like it because it is rechargeable. Just plug it into an outlet.

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.

I may not be the best test case for this but I can say it lasted me the entire week on vacation and had 20% of the battery life left after 7 days. I probably used it much less than the average user so I am sure your results will vary depending on usage. I would guess it would last at least the entire day under normal use.

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

its great 4 me! Just make sure u turn it off by hand and dont leave it on standby. I did that once and it died. I've charged it a few times. I use it @ work only and my battery life was only 1 bar down after 7 hrs. All i do is listen to music i dont know if it drains faster doing other things. Hope this helps.

Sorry took so long to answer...battery life is maybe three days- I have to charge up every other day to make sure it doesn't die on me.

I don't know if the battery will last all day. I use them regularly for 1-3 hours for teleconferences and some gaming. I suspect that I will reach the charging cycle lifetime limit before the battery life begins to be an issue. Again, I find this headset to meet my needs as well as being a good value.

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.

I haven't been unhappy with the battery life. Perhaps normal usage depends on the person. I play games, watch a couple movies, once in a while check things out online. I charge mine up about once a week just to keep it ready, but I do not use it every day. For the wi-fi, I have to be home, so I download games or movies to watch when away.
