How long does your Ativ last in standby mode without using it? At full charge mine last only about 2 and 1/2 days.

The fix for battery drain is here:http://forum.tabletpcreview.com/samsung/56856-connected-standby-battery-drain-ativ-500t-5.html#post334086I have now 1% Battery drop per hour in Standby, before it was 3-5%

I have not been in a situation where I do not use Ativ in standby for few days. However, I have noticed that the battery drains a lot when it is in standby. I turn mine off when I am done with it. The nice thing with Ativ is that there is not a whole lot of different (time wise) when you turn it on or when it is called out of standby mode. Few extra clicks are well worth it to me than keep charging my tablet. I don't think that your Ativ battery is defective. Good luck.

Tuan, that is a good question to which I unfortunately have no good answer. I have not left it unused for that long. When I do, I will update my answer. I hope that someone else can answer that question for you in the meantime.

I can't say I've left it in standby from a full charge till it has died, but overnight drop in standby was pretty high. Probably between 15-20% drop. I think the worst I have seen it was close to 35% drop one night. I mostly just shut down if I know I am not going to be using it for extended periods because the boot up time is so fast. probably under 20 seconds max.

I would say there is no set answer to this question, the actual battery life that you experience will depend on your usage and maintainence of the device. My battery usually lasts about 8 days at about 2 hours or so a day, so about 16 hours roughly. YMMV!

You I just tried it out yesterday to answer this question. Usually I have it plugged into my USB adapter, so it doesn't matter to me on battery life. I'd estimate about 12 hours on standard AA and 8 on rechargeable - but then it's slowed down enough to where you'll be seeing a difference in the amount of air it's pushing.

I would guess several hours, I didn't keep it in constantly after a charge, but using it 20-50 minutes at a time a few times a week, it lasted over a month for me.

I have never used it past 3 hrs and there was no problem ...The company says a full charge can play for 5 hrs .. With a lot more hrs standby.

In standbys or light use such as occasionally checking emails and answering phone calls the charge last me all day (14hrs). I get that with the original battery also. It is important to note that it took about 3 charging cycles to get this performance. Out of the box after original charge I only got 8 hrs, but in my case performance improved after more use. Heavy use gets me about 6-8 hrs depending on what I am doing.

I like the unit so much, I just bought some for my kids. But the battery is it's weakest point. It lasts maybe two hours. I plug mine into my computer or an AC charger when I am using it.

I've had mine for about 3 months and still holds its charge. At 100%, lasts 3 1/2 hours and that's when i have my laptop fan and gaming mouse plugged in.

Its alright. You get at least 2-3 hours of full recording. This is a rough guesstimate from trying to think back on back experiences. Heads up: the screen shuts off and it seems like it automatically shuts off when you're on standby off but it really isn't. If you didn't turn off the camera then its not off. I initially thought the battery sucked because of this.

Actually, my first full charge took almost 48 hours. I initially thought the battery was defective. However, every charge after the first one has been relatively "normal" (4 hours or so for a fully depleted battery). I'm very pleased with the battery's performance. It lasts for slightly over 48 hours with GPS, Wi-FI, and Bluetooth turned on; and normal call/text/surfing use.

it depends on the charge of the battery, but usually a fully charge will last 2 hours.

About 2 hours with activity, stand by is several hours. But after a few weeks of use, battery life goes under 1 hour. I plugged it in for 3 hours, and only 1/3 of it was charged. Really awful battery life.

Mine has lasted at least a couple of hours. I haven't needed it longer than that.

Did everyone try charging the unit while it is powered off? It seems to make a different to me. I bought three(3) and so far all battery seemed to be decently averaged out around 2.5 hours or so (mainly net surfing and video conferencing) after few months of usage. Power on while charging seems like charges don't hold too well even it shows 100% charged. Try it out...it may make some different.

No, it lasts closer to 4 1/2 hours on a full charge. I have never gotten more than that out of it.

On a full charge, and, for me, I had it on the third setting (Blue) on constantly, onto my iPod, it last around 6 hours! So, if you want to run it for a long time. Quick charge during lunch breaks, coffee breaks, and so on.

Mine only lasted barely an hour with ipod at 3/4 volume and the NuForce amp set on low. It may be defective so I don't know for sure. Product description says battery included. From what I gather it is not user assessable. I may return it after 3 trials of overnight full charge and doesn't last more than an hour.
