I'm running Ubuntu and Chrome OS, so cant speak for Windows 8...but I get around 6 and a half hours.

Battery life is way better than i expected. I use them twice in a month and i only charged it for 2 times in 2 years. Its battery is durable, long lasting.

Battery life is very good , I use it in the shower everyday , so assuming a total usage of abt an hour everyday for the family, two new batteries last me easily a month if not more, battery life obviously is also governed by signal strength at the location, mine is abt average. So I will rate it quite highly. Brgds JD

Thanks very much for your response. I'm only getting about an hour or less of battery life. I'm very disappointed. Thanks again.

Mine lasts about 7~8 hours for regular use when I use the Quite Office Setting.I know it's still better than any other laptops as to battery life.

Battery life has not been a problem. EVery once in a while we need to remove a battery, let it rest for a few minutes and then replace it. Otherwise, no problem.

Good, I assume. I have been using it 8+ hours/ day for 5 dats a week and I've had it over a month now and haven't had to replace the battery yet.

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.

sorry for the delay. Battery life is 3 hours or more. I have not pushed it to its limits though. Sorry.

No actually the battery life is pretty good. When it's fully charged I would use it for about 3-4 hours

I haven't actually timed it, but I've been able to use it quite a bit without recharging. I use quite a lot on Sundays and for hours at a time on other days of the week. Takes several days before I have to recharge. I have been impressed with the battery life.

Battery Life is fantastic. I have not taken actual note of the hours but I use at work and keep on all day. Have owned this for a while. I don't think I can remember changing the batteries at all yet!

I've had it for about two years now, and the battery life on it is about two hours, give or take. It's definitely better than the one I replaced, though. I'm still a little disappointed that I have to practically keep my laptop plugged in just to be able to use it for longer periods. Hope this helps!

it's very good. I watched a FHD movie for two and a half hours and the battery went from 99% to 74%. My guess is it is probably good for 10 hours. It runs very cool.I charged it overnight occasionally. As far as battery life is concerned, it is much much better than my iPad3

The battery life is very good. I've been using it a couple of months now. I'm still using the furnished batteries. It has an on-off switch which would save on batteries even more, but I never remember to turn it off. It's very comfortable to use. I'm extremely pleased with it.
