That would definitely be dependent on what exactly you're doing, but when I'm doing normal work i.e. internet, document creation, things like that, I can easily get three hours out the battery.

I've gotten like about 3 depending on your settings. Plus, you can turn off the Nvidia card to use the integrated graphics to reduce battery usage. You only need the distinct card for high graphics things.

with the integrated HD400 video 4-5 hours, but the Nvidia card lowers it closer to 3 hours.

I get 4-5 hours on battery on power saver mode. 3 hours on High Performance.

I get an average of 1 and 1/2 hours with the computer set to max performance rather than max battery.

Sorry took so long to answer...battery life is maybe three days- I have to charge up every other day to make sure it doesn't die on me.

Hey mauri88 I'm in a similar place as Bill. I got this computer for my girlfriend and I'm not exactly sure how long the battery life is but she has no complaints. She really likes her Envy and the 14" size works well for moving it from place to place. I know her old laptop had battery issues so if there were anything wrong with this one she would let me know.

3-5 hours of heavy use when I had it. Have since given the computer to my son who uses it.

I've had it for about two years now, and the battery life on it is about two hours, give or take. It's definitely better than the one I replaced, though. I'm still a little disappointed that I have to practically keep my laptop plugged in just to be able to use it for longer periods. Hope this helps!

Hi. The battery Will run for about 5+ hours if you are using the power saver configuration and you are just browsing or using Word. Any heavy use (vídeos, streaming, large databases, etc) and the battery Will last for about 3 hours.

sorry for the delay. Battery life is 3 hours or more. I have not pushed it to its limits though. Sorry.

I have been happy with it. Instead of about 2 hours of unplugged life, the battery gives 3 hours. The physical size is the same.

The battery life is very good. I was surprised that I can sit at my kitchen table for 3 hours and the battery goes down to about 65%. Now that is very good for this laptop. I think you will enjoy the power that this puts out. Have a great time with it.

The only time battery life was an issue is when I left them on for the whole day when went to work. They take triple A. Just don't throw away the battery it comes with

Honestly, not great. But keep in mind that its a core i3. Its got a two cell battery and gives about 3 to 4 hours of life which is more than my old acer netbook running a single core atom ever gave with a 3 cell battery.

Battery life is pretty good... A whole day if your actually using it.. I've left it sitting and it's lasted around 3 weeks without usage on one charge.

Hi.I have owned this laptop for a couple of months now and it is amazing. The average battery life I am getting while running wifi and having the brightness about 3/4 bright, I am getting 5 1/2 hours. With wifi off running regular programs like Word, Excel and Powerpoint, I am getting about 6-6/12 hours. Amazing battery life

It's about 6lbs, pretty standard for a machine it's size. The battery life is only about 2-3 hours depending on what you're doing. Hope this helps!
