In storage, how long can the charge be expected to last?

Hi Guapo, Thank you for your inquiry! You will need to charge the battery at least once every three months to ensure that the battery in the unit does not die. There is not a set amount of time that the unit is supposed to last, however, it is covered by a 1 year manufacturer's warranty. Best regards, Earthtech Products

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

Mine was charged for approximately 6 hours and a month later has held the charge.

I just used mine for 6 straight hours, and 2 hours the day before, still going strong. I would estimate 10 hours full charge to dead.

Have had this laptop just a week, so I can't give a very knowledgeable answer. The solid state drive should help extend use time before needing to be recharged. I'm sure it will be at least 5 hours.

About an hour or two. Sometimes it seemed longer to make sure you get a full charge.

I haven't really timed the length of a charge, but it seems reasonable. I've used in for a couple hours without at problem, but I haven't really pushed it. Sorry. The battery can be removed - there is a sliding release switch on the bottom of mine.

I would guess several hours, I didn't keep it in constantly after a charge, but using it 20-50 minutes at a time a few times a week, it lasted over a month for me.

I've had mine a while. I usually keep it in my purse for emergencies. The longest I think I've kept it without using it was about 2 weeks and it was still charged, so I'm sure it can last longer (I just haven't had to test it for more than that).

usually 2-3 years, depending on how well they are maintained. never store when on a low charge. charge every 3 to 4 weeks even when not in use.

Mine has stayed charged for several weeks at a time; I know for at least a month.

? I have never used it that long. I have let it sit for hours even overnight and it still had charge the next day so I would Think it would last for four hours straight.

I haven't monitored to see exactly how long it takes to charge from dead to full charge, but I think 8-10 hours should be enough.

A fully charged battery will last a long time. Several days of continuos use.

Not long, 2 or 3 months at the VERY longest. This is a trait of the NiMH batteries, NOT the brand. Personally, I would top-off any battery I was planing to use during an electricity free vacation, no earlier than a week beforehand, in order to have the most juice on hand when you need it. This is from my personal experience with a wide selection of brands and a wide variety of battery ages. Everready, on the other hand, claims that NiMH batteries in general will loose 50% of their charge in six months. I expect this may be the case under the very best laboratory, tempature and humidity controlled conditions. Not under normal conditions, like your camera case, electronics drawer, or your battery shoe box. Now... While I've never seen a STORED NiMH battery hold a charge that long, I HAVE found that using them in something that draws a small, but constant current, will give you a MUCH longer shelf-life than charging them and then storing them. Depending on what they are in, I've seen them last up to a year or longer.

Not sure about it! i am hoping that it won't last longer even if it does charge for a while. It's a cheap stuff. No guarantee at all.
