Any problems with battery life?

Hi, Janice. So far I've used it on batteries only once, for about an hour on July 4th, to play patriotic music during a local parade. No problems for that length of time. With an old Panasonic boombox, I learned to remove the batteries if they were going to be unused for a while, to avoid the possibility of leaking battery acid that killed the boombox.

Battery life has not been a problem as we have not used it without the cord. It sits on a headboard in my mother in law's bedroom. Sorry I know this is not much help.

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 do not recall the last time I changed batteries since purchase, consequently the battery life appears to be a good and a non issue. Obviously battery life is directly proportional to devise use time.

I bought this phone for my brother and he's quite happy with the battery life... but I did see some complaints with regards to this when reading reviews prior to buying it.

It's pretty good... I got up to 2 days use with mine without charging. And when I gave it to my friend in Africa.. He never complained about battery life despite the fact their wasn't steady power supply where he lives.

Never had any problems... Make sure you have a fresh set of batteries... If you're using rechargeable batteries, once they go less than 65% of a full change, you may run into problems... The same goes for the apple track pad and apple mouse... Keep an eye on the status of your Bluetooth wireless batteries at least 2x a week...

I love this thing. Had it for a while and haven't replaced the battery. You should be fine for months

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.

I don't remember having any issues but mine didn't last 6 months before it died never to return. The Warranty requires you to ship it off and pay $60 to fix. NO THANKYOU. I do not recommend this device. Cant believe there still selling this crap.

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.

No actually the battery life is pretty good. When it's fully charged I would use it for about 3-4 hours

I've not let it get low yet I guess? I take it in once a week & fully charge it & have had no problems w battery life. It's awesome isn't it? �

No complaints on battery life--just to make sure, I plug it in prior to going out to take pictures with it--just avoid overcharging for long periods of time. (not good for any rechargeable battery).

Depends very much on what you are running. Using WIFI and doing typical work activities such as email, web browsing, word, etc., I have seen over 9 hours. If you're watching a movie streamed via 4GLTE the battery life does suffer. I have not timed it, but 6 hours seems pretty close under those contitions.

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 received a 4th Generation for Christmas and have no trouble with batterylife. I often listen to audiobooks as well as listening at work. I don't have a charging station at work and can usually go at least 2 full working days (8 hour days) without charging.

No such problems with mine, and as stated if there is an issue just disconnect the battery.
