I had a very bad experience. I returned it next day. It started with 1.5 2 hrs and within 24 hrs it came Down to 30-45min

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 got this on Aug 2013, and now it is only 6 monthes or so, and I use it not daily, but once--weekly, so the battery is still good, not 30mins, over 1 hr no problem. never measure it.

The battery lasts for several hours of continuous use. I did buy a backup battery as well. It ends up being a race between running out of battery and running out of storage memory. I've set this up on a tripod and recorded continuously for at least 2-3 hours (possibly longer...I did a 5 hour recording but I can't recall if I changed batteries mid-way or not). I also highly recommend getting the water-resistant housing (clear/orange)..I've used it to dive to 80ft.+ and it's repeatedly worked great. That housing also serves as a tripod mounting point. Hope that helps...feel free to ask any other questions. The battery lasts for several hours of continuous use. I did buy a backup battery as well.

I am sure there are higher dollar ones that will allow you to be online longer but this one is good for 3-5 hours depending on the applications you are using. If just using it to take notes 5 hours is the usual up time. If gaming 2.5 to 3 hours. I recommend this battery highly. I have had it in my laptop over a year and it still runs it just as long as it did the day I purchased it.

My Anker gives me a solid 4 hours of almost fully bright screen and optical drive use. If your 9-cell/7860mAh is rated at 7 hours and performs that well under load it's a great battery. If it doesn't perform that well under load than it could be a "difference" in test conditions. (My Anker will keep my Pavilion dv7 going all day with a dimmer screen and no real use)

Hi Hafeez, the battery can run up to 3.5 hours in normal usage.Thanks, PCrush

As in without charging for weeks then using it, or charge it up and start shooting, how long will it last? I will answer both. I have charged it and left it to sit for weeks then went shooting and was fine. NOT RECOMMENDED, but I have done it. How long will it last while shooting? This varies based on how trigger happy you are. I use it in my LMG and can play for 5-6 hours (shooting conservatively, AKA around 1500-2000 rounds during that time) and been fine. Good battery.

they last pretty long for me. It really depends on the type of item your using these batteries for. But for me they always last at least 5 hours. Theyre pretty reliable for me. They also take like a day to fully recharge for me, i go to sleep & when i wake up their fully charged.

I got somewhat less than 2 hrs (but I wasn't doing much other than moving the mouse to keep the screen from going to sleep) - about what I expected. This is a basic (6-cell) battery. there are extended (9-cell) batteries that will last longer. Also important to follow the "break-in" procedure (full charge - full drain - full charge, etc). Some laptops may have to "learn" how to charge a new battery before it can do it efficiently, and fully.

It is definitely not 7,5 hours. 3 to 4 hours, I would guess. I used it more than 3 hours yesterday, but I think that you will not get 4 on that battery, even if power management is set to reduce maximum. After a year, I expect 3.Right now it says 1:56 (46%) remaining. Indicating +4 hours totally.Cheers

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.

Battery life is very solid. I work 8-12 hr days with it and I would estimate batteries require replacing roughly every month to month and a half. I would note that I tend to leave it on all the time and it goes to sleep when not in use. You only need to click to wake it back up again. Am pleased with battery life (I find re-chargeable batteries are a good investment).

Never had a problem with batt life, longest usage about 4-5 hrs but i charge it after that with left over current in it.

Hello Linda. I bought this battery just last year when the original died of natural causes. At most, this sucker last me about an hour to an hour and a half after it's been fully charged. Might not seem like much mind you, but I tend to use the internet a lot and stream things online, and different pages up at once. The less you use, the longer it'll last bit I was reall happy when I got it. And instalation is pretty simple. Let me know if this does/doesn't solve your riddle. I will try again for you. Please have a good evening.

Mine has 5010mAh at full charge. It's sufficient for 1.5 to 2 hours of hard use. That works for me. If you need more you might want to spend more, but considering the price, i'm satisfied.

Ha...I guess the one down side...I get about two hours on max performance. I have been thinking about getting a better battery for the laptop (4 hour type or more). However, I need to add my purchase was more for a portable desktop than a mobile computer (tablet, etc...) so it stays plugged in about 85% of the time.
