What is the expected battery life and charging times?

I don't really have to charge mine too often... I'd say between 150-200 tests between charges (I'm not exactly keeping count haha!). I probably charge it less than once a month. Similarly, I haven't really kept track of how long it takes to charge, as I usually just plug it in and leave it overnight, but I can't imagine it takes longer than a couple hours to fully charge? Maybe someone can provide some more exact answers, but hopefully this helps a bit. By the way, this thing is awesome. Highly recommended.

I have used mine more than 30 times between charges without a problem. I have never had the battery run low so I do not really know how long it takes to charge. I just charge it after it has been more than a week or two since I used it.

You should get approximately 163 tests from a full charged breathalyzer. A full charge takes about 2.75 hours.

It has an auto power off of only 5 or 10 minutes to conserve power. Bluetooth itself uses little power. I've not charged it and gotten weeks of daily use. Charging usually only takes me an hour or so but uses a standard charger for most android phones. You can charge it nearly anywhere with a cable and power block.

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.

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

So far it takes about an hour to charge and it will last for at least 3 hours!

William, thanks for taking the time to respond. I will also let everyone know what kind of battery life we observe. Best of luck to you.ww

Average Battery Life is about 4 hours. The product description, (That MOST people seem to ignore), is "UP TO 5 Hours." 5 Hour Battery Life IS NOT Guaranteed. On a FULL charge, battery lasts 4 to 4.5 hours.

So far after I charge the battery it will last about 90 minutes. I have not had any issues with the battery.

Hi! For my use (I don't do gaming, just regular internet stuff...videos, etc) I found it to have the expected amount of time - between 2 & 3 hours. I tested it out the second day I had it, although I use the ac adapter most of the time with my laptops. But I wanted to know what to expect, so I ran it on the battery just to test it out. I don't know if games and the like make a big difference on battery life or not, though. I hope that helps some. It seems like your basic battery life for a 15-17" laptop from my experience. I have 3 laptops. Two of them (this 16" and my other Toshiba, a 15.4") have 6 cell batteries and the battery time is about the same. I have a Dell 15.4" laptop with a 9 cell battery and get 4-6 hours with that.

Battery life is disappointing. I just got this, and it lasts somewhere around 13-15 minutes on a full charge.

I'm not sure about the battery life. But I haven't changed battery yet since I bought mine. Just be sure to turn it off after you use it.

I am not sure quite how long. I have left it off the charger for 3 days and used it quite abit and still had plenty of battery life left.

The answer is it depends on the battery size. Usually it takes me around 20-25min for 2200mah and around 30-40 min for 5000mah

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!

battery life is good (Haven't done an exact measurement, but it seems like I recharge about every 3 or 4 days). It has an automatic sleep function that preserves the battery life. Full charge in about 2 hours.

The first time you charge it, it will take about eight hours of uninterrupted charging. After the first full charge, it won't take that long.
