How long does it last on a full charge? 4-5 hours? Thanks.

Yes, about that long if you have the backlight on. I discovered that turning the backlight off (F1 key) will allow it to last all day on a single charge.

I really don't know since I have never let it go dead, but many hours for sure. I'd say at least 4-5.

When fully charged it has lasted a whole weeks vacation using it on and off. Not sure in total hours how long I think in the book it states 4 hours.

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.

It holds a full charge for a long, long time. I had it in the bottom of my purse for well over a month or more, fully charged, and when I turned it on like 4-6 weeks later? STILL FULLY CHARGED! I was amazed to say the least.

It actually last awhile on a full charge. I've had mine last as little as a 10 days to lasting a full month and longer, depending on how much you use it. I was going to test out the using it while charging, but I seem to have misplaced the cord. This charge is still going from around 3 weeks or so ago. Give me 2 weeks and I tend to start losing things.Give me 2 weeks and I tend to start losing things. I'll find it and post back.

I would charge it for a full 15 hours before using it. They usually come partially charged, so doing a full charge is the best way to be sure.

Depends on how much is left in the battery. I just let it charge overnight, I have never timed the charge, but I would assume at least 4 hours from a full discharge.

I have found that a full charge will last for 1/2 to 3/4 of an hour if used constantly for the whole time. Also depends on how fast you run it.

I have used it for 6 hours, and it still had a charge. Don't know average, I charge it after use.

I have charged the battery maybe 4 times now. I would say it lasts for a good 6-8 hours of on and being used time.

It had small charge when received. Only had to charge it for a few hours (~ 3) to get full charge.

I charged it over night. So I don't know how long it actually took to charge. I do know the charge is good for a few hours of use, though. Sorry i can't be more specific.

Hi, I think about 6 hours like the other answers I put it on overnight. I tried to do a test today it was not charged in 5 hours but fully in 8! using an iPhone charger. The easiest way is just to leave it on overnight.

while operating - at least 6 hours. I think mine died during the 7-8 hours after a full charge. I leave it in my car and the batteries remain charged until I actually use it and I'd say it keeps its charge for awhile, on a monthly basis. Not too sure about annually.

This unit stays powered for approximately 5 hours on an ongoing basis when fully charged. However, it is VERY difficult to tell when it has (finally) fully charged. It takes forever.

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.

I never let my battery die completely, but I would say it lasts on my laptop about 4 hours.
