Approximately how long does the charge last on the keyboard?

It really depends on how often you use it. I use the iPad+keyboard for work almost daily and I must have to charge the keyboard every month or so. When I haven't used it as much, it's been times when I've had to charge it at the 2 month mark.

I forgot to turn it off after shutting down and the charge lastest about 2-3 weeks. I'm guessing now that I turn off and have recharged it, it should last for several months. Or maybe not.

I use the keyboard for 3 to 4 days in a row without charging and it never has died on me.

Hi, the keyboard is back lit. The battery life is reasonably good just over a couple of hours.

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.

The only time you need to plug it in is when it's charging. Other than that you should be good to go. I don't really know how long the keyboard lasts without a charge because I rarely use my tablet or the keyboard. Sorry.

Depends on usage. If you are doing office work and web browsing, it should last more than 3 hours on a full charge.

When plugged into the keyboard - I've been successful using it for 5-6 hours (coast to coast flight) using standard office aps. When using it to stream internet content or play movies, 4 hrs.

If you use a good quality battery it could last you a few weeks if you use it a ton to a few months. It all depends how often you use it. I've had this set for 3 or so weeks now and have yet to change the battery and I use the keyboard and mouse on average 4-5 hours a day.

I have not run the battery down before recharging. I will plug it in about every 2 weeks just to keep it charged and I use the keyboard often. I have been impressed with how long the battery does last and have never had a problem with this device.

The tablet and keyboard have separate batteries, I can charge the tablet without the keyboard, but when they are connected this keyboard does not drain the tablet battery and both are charged by the same cord. I can get 5-6 hours of use and sometimes more.

Kah, I was under the impression that a fully charged keyboard was good for 3 months. It sounds like your keyboard may have bit the dust. From Dell's website:Powered by light* Charges itself whenever there's light, even desk-lamp light* Stays charged for at least three months in total darkness* Eliminates the need for keyboard batteries, power bricks and USB power cables

6-7 hours or so for me - do yourself a favor and purchase a longer usb cable so you can charge while using when necessary.

I do not know the answer to your question. However I have never turned the switch off and have never had a problem with the charge on the keyboard.

I don't remember if it was fully charged or not, but it was enough for me to sync it up with my iPAD. You need a Micro USB cable to charge the keyboard.

I use the keyboard all the time. I charged it before use, the charged lasted literally for weeks. Wobbly connection sounds like a defective port (microusb). My connection was bluetooth.

It last for awhile. My daughter hasn't really used the key board that much yet. But have to charge it for at least 4 hours before ya use it.

Yes, a USB charging cable is included. You charge the keyboard for 3-4 hours before your first use. Depending on the use, the charge may last up to 60 hours before recharging.
