Well in my opinion the battery during more time already i buy alkaline batteries. The time duration is between 45 minutes or 1 hour. I think you should buy alkalines batteries. Thanks.

We have had better luck with ours - have only had to change the battery once since Christmas and it is getting played with quite a bit.

Mine takes a long time to come to a full charge. Several hours. So as a matter of course, I usually leave it plugged in and charging, until I want to take it somewhere untethered. It does provide a long play time (8-12 hrs). Although that time seems about the same, whether it's playing, or just in standby mode, switched off. Which is why I leave it plugged in/charging.

I just recently purchased this mouse, and so for I like it, but the battery life is not very good I play World of Warcraft a couple of hours a day, and I have to recharge this mouse every day or two. Logitech's explanation is that they sacrificed battery life for performance, since it is a gaming mouse. This makes some sense. We'll see how it goes over time.

I've had mine for 4 months of relatively heavy gaming use (roughly 4-5 hour sessions, 3-5 days a week). Thing looks like I bought it yesterday. Very durable. I love that it is extremely low profile as well, not big/bulky/clunky.

I agree, need to replace all when one goes... Love the game! Batteries lasted approx. 8 hours... looking for reasonable priced ones ourselves...

My son played around with it for a few months. Does not hold a charge very long. If I remember correctly, sometimes, he had to pop the battery out for a few minutes, then try re-charging again. Also, you have to be careful with the charger connector. It has to be oriented the right way.

After 2GB install, my Battery only lasts 5 hrs with max power save settings (with wireless on and a few hours of low volume mp3 playback) it used to last 7 hours, FYI. But its worth it!I play UT, 007 night fire, Halo, GTA 3, NFS, SNES, Tony Hawk, Hoyle games, streets and trips, 3d home architect, and more, no problems (but halo has low frame rate)

No...i haven't had any problem like such...The controller works perfect and i usually recharge it after 48-60 hours of gaming...It has a very strong long range..Actually the controller works together with the USB so if it aint connected it will be blinking red light. But when you connect the USB the red light will be steady meaning that it it is now active...However i'm only taking precautions about the charge but the lifespan of the battery might extend above the hours i'm talking about but to be on the safer side i don't allow it to be more than 60 hours without recharging it (meaning 60 hours of gaming).

Hi! For my use (I don't do gaming, just regular internet stuff...videos, etc) I found it to have the expected amount of time - between 2 & 3 hours. I tested it out the second day I had it, although I use the ac adapter most of the time with my laptops. But I wanted to know what to expect, so I ran it on the battery just to test it out. I don't know if games and the like make a big difference on battery life or not, though. I hope that helps some. It seems like your basic battery life for a 15-17" laptop from my experience. I have 3 laptops. Two of them (this 16" and my other Toshiba, a 15.4") have 6 cell batteries and the battery time is about the same. I have a Dell 15.4" laptop with a 9 cell battery and get 4-6 hours with that.

hello Julie, when its fully charged it last me about 2 hours. But I have to admit I'm not a fan of this player.

I've been surprised at how long the batteries have lasted. I'd guess a good 10 games which last and hour or two each. Maybe more!

I bought mine for my kid brand new, once he jumped in the pool with his other one. Haven't had no problem with battery life. But you can take out the battery and buy another if needed. His battery lasts at least 3 days or more if not constantly on it. And I don't think they are making anymore probably just getting rid of what's left of them.

If you play continuously it will run out in a few hours. The only way I can charge it is to plug it into the computer. The screen has no backlight so its hard to look at to play anyways.

Hi. I would say about 5 hours. I do not play games and am not a heavy user, but I do stay online for long periods of time. ALso, when you do charge it up, it charges surprisingly quickly.

My kid does a lot of online gaming and it lasts for him about 3 hours before it needs to be charged again. Not bad. The longest battery I've ever come across.

I can play mine 24/7 for about 2 to 3 days. And, it's probably capable of playing longer. I just getit on the charger before the warning starts going off. I really like it. Not meant for someone who is extremely rough on things. But, if taken care of, I can see this player lasting a very long time. Really like it!
