Approximately what length of battery life can I expect from this laptop?

depending on what you are doing... surfing the web... writing a Word document.. 3-4.5 hours... if your watching DVD's.. or playing games cut that time in half.

In the month that I have had the laptop, I've been getting around 6 hours on the "Balanced" power setting; on "Eco" mode I get around 9-10. I charge it every few days. I will say it charges very quickly.

It depends on the computer you're using it with, your screen brightness, whether or not you're on the internet, watching videos, have the volume turned up, etc. I get about 2 hours average, which is about 40% of the 5 hours I got on the Lenovo brand battery that came with my laptop.

I am not sure of exactly how long but it seems to be about 2 hours or so. I have actually never timed it. This is an older laptop my kids use for games so that might be why the battery doesn't seem to last very long. Hope this helps! :)

I say for me it is about 6 hours. I am a student do I could use it long. Great computer .

It has roughly the capacity of a laptop battery. I don't know your exact laptop model, but I would expect that it would last about as long as with its built-in battery.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding your question... All laptops come with their own battery(?) This Toshiba model, like most laptops in its class, has a removal 6-cell battery and the official battery life is 5.5 hours. Real world usage will vary, but from personal experience, 50% brightness, web browsing with constant WiFi connection, I would say that's pretty accurate.

My laptop has 1 GB Ram, 80 GB HDD and I get about 2 hours of battery life when fully charged.

I would say that by official spec battery should last approximately 4 hours. And that's almost what it last in my daily use of it. Now if, watch a streaming movie or play a heavy computer game, that goes down drastically. I would say that under conditions of heavy resource use the battery can last for 1.5 hours, maybe a bit more depending on how graphic intensive the app is. But I don't think you going to get 2 hours flat. That said, remember that the "I" series CPUs from Intel have energy consumption limitations. I chose this laptop because I didn't want anything bigger than 13 inches and that's the price you pay for that. You can find a better battery in a bigger more expensive laptop. I believe that for the price and the size and the little weight of this Probook, this is a good battery rating. At the end of the day it's going to be what you need and can pay for. I am pretty satisfied with the features of this product.

The battery is not easily replaceable -- you need to remove the back cover to access it. That isn't too difficult, because the laptop uses standard torx T5 screws. Still, its not simple. However, I've found the battery lasts nearly 6 hours unplugged for typical web browsing, which is good. Also, I've had the computer ~4 months and the battery life hasn't gotten any worse.

The battery doesn't last as long as the specs say it will, but then again, that is the case with all computers. I use quite a bit of CPU throughout the day, so without charging I would say it lasts 4 to 5 hours. Given the amount of CPU I'm using, I'm very please with that. If you are just using Microsoft Word and maybe 2 tabs of whatever browser, I would imagine the battery lasts much longer than 4-5 hours.

I can't give you any idea about battery life because I use this computer at my home desk, plugged in most of the time. But I can tell you I've been very happy with this purchase.

I cant be specific about the battery life but I can say satisfactory, at least. It was ready when i needed it most.

Yes, laptop batteries are not meant to last too long. 2 hours is about average.

Lenovo rates it up to 6 hours (idle, dimmed screen, etc). Real world usage is probably around 4-4.5 hours.

I did not use the Lenovo as a portable device that often. My answer on battery life is that it is AVERAGE. Lenovo maintains "up to 5 hours" (Lithium, 4-cell, 32Wh) in their official specs, but I would mark that down to 4-4.5 hrs. (the battery is only 4-cell). I sold this unit only because the keys were too stiff for my MS riddled hands and switched to a noisy HP ENVY with soft keys. All in all, (for the rest of you) it is a GREAT machine!!! Thanks for your inquiry.
