What is the battery life?

Good so far. It has a nice feature where it will run down the battery while plugged in to extend the battery life.

Hartley: I find that question impossible to answer, because I just purchased the Dell lap top and even though there is information about the battery it's self, there is none about the length of time that it will last. Sorry! I found two things help in keeping the battery lasting longer. One, before charging, let the battery run down until the warning on your lap top signals says, charge it and always charge it all the way, don't pull the plug before you have a complete charge. This does help in keeping a longer battery life. Hope this helps.

I might not have understood your question, in that you want the time a battery will last, once charged (hours)? Since I turn my computer off and on there is no way that I can tell how many hours I get on a complete charge, couldn't even guess.

battery life is pretty good about 75 minutes. I will probably purchase an extended capacity 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.

Battery life is fair. It depends on usage. 3-4 hours can be used when it fuly charged.

Don't know, but battery life seems pretty long...I've used several times without need to recharge. Sorry I can't be more specific.

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.

Honestly I have never measured the battery life but, for what its worth, quite a bit of times i leave it on accidentally for 2 days or so and it still has enough battery. If youre using it connected to the usb its not going to run out of battery because its getting powered by 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.

Battery life is about three hours on constantly . I know this because I used it this long while recently tracking a deer in the rain

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

It depends on your performance settings and what you're doing on the laptop. I use mine with high performance and generally use light programs (MS Office) and web browsing and it generally lasts about 2-4 hours depending. The life of the battery can extend quite beyond that I believe by turning off features and downgrading performance, but I have not really explored those features fully.

Thanks very much for your response. I'm only getting about an hour or less of battery life. I'm very disappointed. Thanks again.

I would say the battery life depends on the display settings. With full illumination, I think it's about 6 hours.

Where did you hear that? Of course not. I use mine daily and it usually lasts for 2-3 days based on my reading, web surfing and emailing activity. I let the battery completely run down after I first charged it and it lasted almost 11 hours. On average I get at least 10 hours of active use on it, but I usually charge it every three days.

normal use being reading and sending e-mails, plus working with word documents, Evernote and browsing? the battery life is around 9 to 10 hours. if however you watch videos and play games, the battery life is around 3 to 4 hours.

That's a good question. I don't see the battery life mentioned in the literature, but I don't think it has 10 hours of battery life. I'm prompted for a power source after a couple of hours. I have to say though, that I love this computer and highly recommend it. My husband is a software engineer. He chose the computer based on its specs out of a number of other options. He was so right. It's a powerful computer.
