My battery life is fine. Some times batterys come defective. You may need a new battery. Or sometimes even a new charger. Hope this answers your ?.

Hi, I think theres something wrong whith your battery Or maybe the source from where you charge, the product manual says: [Note: Some low-power USB ports may not be able to provide enough charge power.]. I got mine for christmas too and battery works great, It gave me about 10 or more hours whith music/photo and video playback, Exelent Player!

You should be fine after 3 hours. It comes with battery life. Or if you are worried charge it overnight.

Battery life is short. I think Gps is a big drain on it. But a spare can be purchase at a cheap price from a off brand distributor.

The one I bought was also lasting in about 2 hours. Just buy more expensive

Takes about 1.2 hours at a 1.0A rate, higher would be shorter but shortens battery life.

Try inserting a new battery. When I first received my unit, the battery was dead. Good luck:)

I've gone 4 hours on just battery before having to plug in. The batter is not user-replaceable unfortunately.

I have played the unit for a good two hours with the battery. I almost always have it plugged in when I view it. I would see about returning the battery, or getting a new unit. Thats what I like about Amazon, I have never had a problem with a return or replacement.

Not really satisfied with the battery,. Limited battery life after full charge

You can dim the screen, turn off blue tooth and the wifi (when you're not using it) and shorten the time it waits unused until it turns itself off. Most of these are in the Power Management section. There are F key buttons to toggle some of them. I believe there is also a setting that will allow the computer to drain the battery down closer to zero charge. As it is I believe it turns off with about 25% remaining as a margin of safety. I did everything I could think of and don't get anything like 14 hours of life. It is beyond mere marketing hype to claim 14 hours. Really it is a lie. Perhaps I now get 10 hours.

I've had similar problems with mine since I got it new. Barely keeps a charge and dies out after a couple of uses.

Only have it in there when it needs it. Try to get the battery level as low as you can. It shouldn't take more than a 4 hours to charge. Mine usually takes 2-3 hours.

the only thing I can suggest is to charge it for twenty or so minutes, then power it back on. By that time, it should be ok to receive a call or place one. when it is completely dead, then charging time may differ from one hour to several hours.

Haven't had mine that long yet but I would think a fresh battery charge and perhaps deleting the software and re-installing might solve any problems.
