What is the battery life? (Continuous use, fully charged to dead battery.)

I haven't timed it continuously, as I am usually interrupted from time to time, but mine goes for a total of about 3-4 hours. It gives warning tones before it goes down, but when you plug it in to charge, it drops the bluetooth link. Which is a shame.

Not sure, really. I've gone a work week without a charge (medium use) and I've never had it go dead on me. But when I'm using it all day, it is typically plugged in to a charger.

It doesn't have an indicator that shows when it is fully charged. With that said, I have never had it die on me. It seems like it gets almost 8 hours of use.

A couple of hours with regular use. I ended up getting a second battery and that's been great, but not necessary if you charge it regularly.

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

Okay according to the instructions is says...on a full charge the continuous run time is up to 2.5hrs when operated from the battery only. Total time will increase if the unit is turned on and off intermittently. Now, the instructions also say...When the spotlight is plugged into and recharging with the 120V AC Adapter or 12V DC Adapter, the run time is unlimited. Hope this answers your queston, Paul.

on a full charge, my battery - the original that came with the computer, lasts 2-4 days. But I shut mine down at night, so it's not running 24/7. But it is on when I'm working.

Battery lasted for six hours before I got home and charged back up....says it holds 8 hours of continuous use

I would expect a few hours for a full charge. What indicators do you have of battery level? There are indicators on the bottom of many packs. Push the button and see how many lights show. Also, if you are using your computer heavily with screen at full brightness, a lot of the juice will go into running the laptop. There won't be much left to recharge the battery. You might try putting it aside to sleep for an hour and checking back later. Of course, if the battery is bad or the calibration is way off, that is another thing. If you charge a sleeping computer all night and only get 30 minutes of use before it's dead again, that's not good. There are ways to address that but someone else may know off the top of their head.

The most I have had battery life is a little over 2 hrs. If you charge it and don't use it right away it will die. But honestly for the money its a good price. Hope this helps.

I couldn't tell you when I'm not using it I put it on the charger so I have never drained the battery all the way couple hours at the most I would assume

the battery life lasts approx 4-8 hours...sometimes longer if not used continuously.

Not certain. When running low I plug in for 4 hours and I seem to get a full charge.

I generally charge it for about ten to fifteen minutes and work a full time job and it's never really died on me...If I get up to leave the computer I'll usually just hook it up and when I come back unplug it and I'm good to go. Never had it die on me yet.

The battery life is great. I use it everyday while getting ready (30 min.) and even when I leave it on for the day I only have to charge it once a month. The light on the bottom turns a different color when it needs to be charged but I usually dont plug it in until its so dead it doesn't work and you can still use it while charging.

When I first received it, it fully-charged to a reading of about 6 hours. After more than a year of very heavy service, I consistently get a full-charge time of over 4 hours - still more time than the factory-original battery it replaced

When idle or not really used, the battery lasts for 24 hours. When used continuously I use it for more than 8 hours before the battery runs out.
