The battery last 2-3 hours and I use it a lot because I am a full time student who is constantly online. I will buy from this company again. Amazing product!

I don't use the laptop that much. I haven't timed it but the battery lasts a couple of hours. It's enough to get what I want done.

I bought the battery on April 3, 2013 and it is still going. Use my computer everyday and charge it only when needed. I leave it on most of the time so I'm not sure how many hours at a time I get out of it before recharging.

This is a friend's computer---when it stopped holding a charge, I ordered a replacement battery for her as a gift. She says she now gets 5 hrs + per charge.

Well..Ive had it for probably a month and a half now. I dont use to to type long papers (usually, but i have), but i do use it daily for notes and texting and i have only charged it once since ive had it. The manufacturer says it holds a charge for 60hrs of use.

The battery life has been great so far! I've had mine for two months, I never turn it off, and I use my computer for 8-12 hours every day. The batteries haven't needed changed yet.

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.

Hey mauri88 I'm in a similar place as Bill. I got this computer for my girlfriend and I'm not exactly sure how long the battery life is but she has no complaints. She really likes her Envy and the 14" size works well for moving it from place to place. I know her old laptop had battery issues so if there were anything wrong with this one she would let me know.

I believe it was a 6 month warranty but so far it has performed perfectly. A few months ago I was out of town on a business trip and with the computer in power saving mode that battery lasted for over eight hours, and so far I have not seen any signs of reduced capacity or battery memory setting in

Per Netgear team answered to one of the reviewer, the battery should last about 6 months.

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.

I've had mine for a few months now and ive let it go from full charge to dead a couplde times to keep the battery maintained. I'd say an estimate of 7-8 hours on standby i.e. on but no real processes. Maybe longer than that. I do know that under stressful procedures i.e. multiple processes running such as a gaming client, chat system, word processor, internet, spotify etc it goes from full battery to no battery in 3 hours or less. This is just based on what I've had. Take it with a grain of salt I guess.

The battery has lasted for a full work day for me, doing word processing and office tasks. The battery was down to about 30% at the end of the day.

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!

I am not sure about the warranty it is either 90 days or a year? I am more inclined to say a year. You can check out the manufactures site and fund out. My battery is still going strong. My Dell laptop Inspiron 1721 is an energy hog. The battery would last for 2 hours if the laptop didn't have to run updates. I just keep the laptop in case I need it in a hurry and can't take my desktop.

I use it extensively with gps on the golf course.I goes 3 rounds in two days with moderate email use. I should easily go 3 to 4 days on standby if wifi and bluetooth are off.

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.
