how long is the battery supposed to last?

It appears to use a small lithium battery that is replaced by removing a small screw and the cover. As for battery life, as with most items the battery life is going to be dependant on how many people use it and how often! I was using it daily for the past three months but now I'm home and won't use it till I travel again. So my battery has lasted three months so far! That's 90 days weighing twice to check accuracy! So at least 180 weigh-ins. If you only weigh once a week that would be the equivalent of over 3.5 years! So I think battery life is really difficult to nail down.

The battery will last for 10 hours, but only when kept at a moderate volume. If you crank the volume up near max, the battery will last about 5 hours.

2.5 hours is a long time. I have to keep mine plugged in constantly. The battery is terrible on this thing. After 6 months of use its even worse.

The battery lasted about as long as most. I bought a back up, so I never worried.

I have it battery set on balanced and I think I get a little over a hour but haven't really timed it. It is not definitely a 2 or 3 hour battery life on the settings I use.

It does last longer than the original battery. I would put it at overall 3-4 hours longer.

I am not sure of exactly how long but it seems to be about 2 hours or so. I have actually never timed it. This is an older laptop my kids use for games so that might be why the battery doesn't seem to last very long. Hope this helps! :)

You need a new battery pack! The battery charge should normally last for at least a week.

I have no issues with this battery. I run my laptop for hours at a time typically, so I keep it plugged in. If you were to run as little as possible, I'd say it would probably last an hour or two.

In my experience, a fully charged battery lasts 7 to 8 hours, depending on how loud you have it and how far from the base station it is.

Initially I charged it for 4 hours. That's supposed to last for 2 weeks or longer, as I was informed; however I have to charge it regularly for at least 2 hours.

the battery last close to a month. depending on the frequency of usage it may last longer or lesser than that.

I tend to keep mine on power save, it seems to last pretty well. I'm not sure and exact answer on a number but several hours.

With mine I may get 3.5 to 4 hours maybe, never really timed it. I do know that when I unplug it and go outside, it seems like within a 1/2 hour to 3/4 of an hour the battery indicator is down a ways.

I should add to my previous response that the battery life on a full charge is at least 8 hours.

I haven't monitored to see exactly how long it takes to charge from dead to full charge, but I think 8-10 hours should be enough.
