what is your average battery life--mine seems bit short at about 3.5 hrs

You know HC, I've never really paid any attention to it, but I would bet it depends upon the programs, and such that depends on a certain amount of power; just like the cellphone when you play or use various apps or programs your draining power...Hope this was helpful.

Its 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 Im still very happy with my purchase, its a great laptop.

I am lucky to get 3 hours. I would not recommend a Toshiba computer to anyone.

Sounds about right, though I've never tried to use it for long hours away from office/home.

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.

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.

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

Anne, it's probably not usual, but I've only charged it once for 3 hours. Still going strong.

Unsure but battery life is generally about 3 hours before having to plug in once again.

I agree for me last around 40-50 originally. Over time I'm guessing due to battery wear its portability duration is greatly reduced. I've had mine a couple years with moderate to heavy use. Doesn't seem to last over 24 hrs now without a recharge.

I get less than 2 hours of use on a full charge (mainly using for internet browsing, email, and playing mp3). The battery also drains when it's not on. I have the 16 GB linux version with advanced desktop enabled. This seems to be common. I think most manufacturers exaggerate battery life a lot, if it's not a flat-out lie. So 2 hours or less of use unplugged with this device is probably the norm, if the manufacturer is saying 3 to 4 hours. My experience with most rechargeable mobile devices is that normal real world use will not get anywhere near what manufacturers state for battery life.

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.

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.

Wow thats crazy, my daughter uses hers for 6 to 7 hours straight, on netflix,youtube,games or apps. She doesnt put it down, she does EVERYTHING on it and only has to fully charge it at night before going to bed, that takes a couple hours though, at least 2 but not sure. If yours is only good for 3 hours thats a big problem , thats not even half of how long its supossed to go, usually when a product says the battery lasts a certain amount its usually not even close to that but I was very surprised when ours actually lasted the 7 hours it promised, and Im telling you its on streaming videos and movies for the hole 7 hours and it has never shut down,the lowest it got was 8% and than it took hours to fully charge it again.

Roughly speaking I've gotten 3 to 4 hours of battery life out of my new battery.

I have the same laptop, and have been using the battery for about three weeks. So far, so good. The battery life is definitely lower than the original battery, but I didn't keep in-depth stats on the original, so it's hard to gauge. I get about 1.5 hours of life out of this battery when watching movies.

I get about 4.5hrs with the high performance setting. I'm not a big fan of power saving mode. Haha

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.
