What is the battery life on this laptop? How many hours between charges?

The battery life when in power saver mode will usually last 5 or 6 hours if it is constantly used. The recharge time is typically 1-2 hours, but we are using the car adapter chargers by PWR+, which could increase or decrease regular charge times.

Mine lasts about 7~8 hours for regular use when I use the Quite Office Setting.I know it's still better than any other laptops as to battery life.

I haven't really counted an exact time but I'll say this:There was a two week period where I had it charged up, I went two weeks without charging again with 2-3 hours a week sitting basically idle in class and several hours of Netflix twice a week. It's plenty of battery from a full charge, especially compared to the stock one. It is absolutely adequate and well worth the money, you won't regret this one.I should add that I am on an HP Pavilion G6-1b60us with an AMD A4 and replacing the factory HDD with a Samsung 840 Evo SSD (so reduced power consumption over the stock HDD there, I'm sure, but not sure by how much) I haven't really counted an exact time but I'll say this:There was a two week period where I had it charged up, I went two weeks without charging again with 2-3 hours a week sitting basically idle in class and several hours of Netflix twice a week.

My Toshiba is wonderful. When I received the laptop I had to plug it in to charge the battery. My Toshiba has a battery that lasts about 3 hours once charged. The laptop needs to be plugged in to recharge or can be used when plugged in.

Its a good 3.5 to 4 hrs but leave mine charging with AC power most of time. I would recommend upgrading the memory to max amount for performance.

I brought the laptopp for one friend. I have no idea of how long does the battery typically last. Sorry for the that

Thanks for the reply! I also frequent notebookreview.com....I received my UL30A-A2 today, though, and will put it through the battery test hoops over the next couple of days. Even if it is not the advertised 16 hours 12 hours is still absolutely excellent imo!

Sorry, I've never really timed it. I know it is at least 4 hours, and maybe it is more. But the last computer I used had had a bad battery for so many years, that I had almost forgotten I could ever use a computer that was not plugged in. Not that it matters, but I purposely ordered this computer with Windows 7 because I did not want to use Windows 8 on a computer that was not touch screen. I have had the computer for about a month and haven't had any problems so far, unlike the person who wrote the previous comment.

It lasts about 3 hours. I use mine almost exclusively via the wall outlet, so I'm not the best person to ask. I think it's good for 3 to 3 1/2 hours. Love the lap top. Good luck!

The battery in my laptop came new and the life is about 8 hours. I hope this helps.

I haven't had mine long so I haven't worn the battery down, but in-the-box new my laptop has been lasting about 4 hours while playing Steam games, so it's pretty decent.

ive had this computer for more than 2 months now. it's a really good computer and the battery life depends on how much your using it. If your using it for videos and tv i'd say around 3 hours. if it's solely for research it gives me a good 4-5 hours before i have to plug it in

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.

approx.8-10 hours.depending on kind of work.Charging time is about 7 hours.Perfect thing for this msi,also you need good money to have it...!

The battery doesn't last as long as the specs say it will, but then again, that is the case with all computers. I use quite a bit of CPU throughout the day, so without charging I would say it lasts 4 to 5 hours. Given the amount of CPU I'm using, I'm very please with that. If you are just using Microsoft Word and maybe 2 tabs of whatever browser, I would imagine the battery lasts much longer than 4-5 hours.

The battery life is about what you would expect from any other laptop. That is unless you purchase and extended life battery.
