I honestly don't think it's as good as the original battery we received from Dell. It does the job and I am not sure of exactly how long it last since I don't charge it 100% all the time. I use to but have read try only charging it 80% and the battery will last longer. Plus I don't use it all day since I have a gaming computer. Sorry I can't give you a better answer. Would I buy it again yes. Do I think its as good as original No.

I am extremely happy with my purchase. It held a charge almost the entire day without a problem. However, I do notice now the battery life has shorten, but that is probably because I didn't wait for it to be down before recharging.

I just recently bought my 2nd one for another computer because my first one is just that great! I've had it for about 9 months & I've only replaced the batteries once. I have both at work & are always on the "on" position. If you're thinking of buying one, the battery life should not be an issue! Good luck!

Hi,Resolution is 1600x900. Frankly for 15 inch and the power this laptop has, this is enough. More pixels and 3D apps will probably lag.Battery is about 4-5 hours in web surfing. Given the fact that to preserve the battery cycles it charges it to 80% (this can be disabled to charge to 100%). In full battery will relatively low brightness you can get 5-6 hours web surfing or working (mostly 5). Gaming about 2 hours, 2.5.

I've had mine for about 3 months and still holds its charge. At 100%, lasts 3 1/2 hours and that's when i have my laptop fan and gaming mouse plugged in.

Saul,I do the same thing, I game heavily, and use it in class. I keep the settings light weight for on battery, ramp to 100% on power. This means I do not game while on battery.While in class using word, power point, Firefox on wireless, downloading and uploading schoolwork and having several tabs in FF open at the same time I get around 4 hours off of a full charge. I'm actually very impressed I was expecting at most 2 hours under that load. But the ssd and smart power management really makes a difference.Hope this helps!

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.

I haven't really counted an exact time but I'll say this: There was a two week period where I had it charged up, I went two weeks without charging again with 2-3 hours a week sitting basically idle in class and several hours of Netflix twice a week. It's plenty of battery from a full charge, especially compared to the stock one. It is absolutely adequate and well worth the money, you won't regret this one. I should add that I am on an HP Pavilion G6-1b60us with an AMD A4 and replacing the factory HDD with a Samsung 840 Evo SSD (so reduced power consumption over the stock HDD there, I'm sure, but not sure by how much)

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 generally charge it for about ten to fifteen minutes and work a full time job and it's never really died on me...If I get up to leave the computer I'll usually just hook it up and when I come back unplug it and I'm good to go. Never had it die on me yet.

Hello, I just plugged the computer in with the new battery and let it charge for at least 24 hours. It works fine!

The battery doesn't last as long as the specs say it will, but then again, that is the case with all computers. I use quite a bit of CPU throughout the day, so without charging I would say it lasts 4 to 5 hours. Given the amount of CPU I'm using, I'm very please with that. If you are just using Microsoft Word and maybe 2 tabs of whatever browser, I would imagine the battery lasts much longer than 4-5 hours.

Depends on usage. If you are doing office work and web browsing, it should last more than 3 hours on a full charge.

It´s no more than 4.5 hrs. I looked at the customers reviews before I buy it so I knew the battery life had not the best average. But I´m still very happy with my purchase, its a great laptop.

Mine is near 3 years old. Battery life is certainly shortened now (probably 10-12 minutes run time) but zero complaints about its performance. Gets used a few minutes every few days. I have been guilty of leaving it on charge a few days over the years. Certainly been a good value so far. Will likely built my own battery for it when the run time is unusable.

I've had it few a months now and no problem with it to date. I use it almost everyday at work. I have even got a few co-works to pick one up. Oh and the battery life is great on it.

The battery has lasted for a full work day for me, doing word processing and office tasks. The battery was down to about 30% at the end of the day.
