Be sure to follow the instructions in the manual re: first charge of the battery-- realize that your laptop will be off-use for 24 hrs. I have found that how long a charge lasts depends on what I an doing online; e.g., if I have been viewing a lot of video, charge goes faster. I mostly monitor by mousing over the power icon. Be sure to go down to 11% (ck manual) at least once/week for about 4x, as directed in manual, to extend battery's lifespan. Hope this helps. BTW: Anker's cust service is great too.

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've found the battery life to be above average. I had a Lenovo idea pad and it was shorter than the nexus.Charging is very good.

i am not sure..i would guess at least 3 years... As for how long the battery would hold a charge: Depnds on how you use it...I had the wifi on and was playing a 3D game for 2 hours with full display brightness and after 2 hours i had 40% battery left...i got tired of playing so I am not sure how much longer it would last.....you could set the display brightness to 50% if you are just browsing the internet and it may last 3 hours with wifi on.....

Regarding the battery life - Not true. My laptop gives backup for like 4 hours if I'm just browsing the net. I am currently a college student and all my classes are 3 hours long. I mostly use browser to search for stuff related to class (or chat on facebook :P ) and take notes on word. When fully charged at the start of class, i have like 30%-40% at the end of each class.No the laptop does not have back lit keyboard.

On high, I get around 2.5 - 3 hours. Make sure you don't over charge the battery. I doubt they have overcharge protection like laptops do nowadays.

10 to 15 hours, depending on (moderate) usage. On sleep mode with Wi Fi on, it can last 50 hours or more.

I've mostly used it on USB, but from time to time it comes unplugged and I dont notice til days later that it's still running. I've never attempted to use it for 80 continuous hours, but I'd say it lives atleast 60 before it needs a charge.

It depends on your performance settings and what you're doing on the laptop. I use mine with high performance and generally use light programs (MS Office) and web browsing and it generally lasts about 2-4 hours depending. The life of the battery can extend quite beyond that I believe by turning off features and downgrading performance, but I have not really explored those features fully.

Very good. The longest I've had it uncharged was about over 10hrs talking and it was at 20% by then. But I did buy a refurbished phone with a new battery and I used low light settings to conserve energy. So take that into account as well....

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.

I've yet to kill my battery . I got it down to 3 percent the other night after play games intensely plus some Facebook and after it reached 3 percent I quit play games and listened to Pandora for an hour and it went to 2 percent and I plugged in up to charge . I'd say 8 to 10 hours just guessing give or take depending on the individual .

I've had this since Jan 1, haven't charged it after initial charge, use it maybe 30 minutes a day, still not dead after two weeks. Often, I don't turn it off.

Hello Laura,I primarily use it at work and have it on all day (7-8 hours). The battery life seems to be good...generally lasts all week. Hope this info helps :)Marsha

I'm routinely using it for 3 to 4 hours and still has a charge. Guess I could probably go 4 1/2 to 5 hours. Definitely was a good purchase - at least for how I use my computer.

Not good. It drains really quick depending on what you are doing. A full charge would last about 1 to 2 hours. However I have it plugged in all the time so it is not a problem for me.

Not sure where I originally got this info, but for years I've sworn by a complete first charge followed by a complete discharge, followed by another complete second charge (and keeping the machine turned off during at least the first exercise). All future use minimizing actual battery usage, so basically keep it plugged in whenever possible or at least charging every night. My 3 yr old LG cell phone still gets 3-4 days/charge (vs 5-6 days brand new) and 4 yr old laptop gets 2 hrs (vs 4 hrs brand new)... Hope this helps.
