What is the battery life like? The Amazon page says 8 hours, but the packaging says 4 hours.

Battery life varies with volume. I've listened to music continuously at a low volume for 10-12 hours, at medium volume you can expect ~6 hours, and at high volume probably 3-4 hours. Also, consider using an aux cable for extended battery life for bluetooth uses more energy on both devices.

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! :)

Depends on usage in standby mode its well over 24 hours and heavy use is about 8 hours.

I should add to my previous response that the battery life on a full charge is at least 8 hours.

Sorry took so long to answer...battery life is maybe three days- I have to charge up every other day to make sure it doesn't die on me.

Very long. I can sometimes get into some lengthy gaming marathons, and the battery has never been an issue. I estimate 4-6 hours depending on volume and battery health. Also note that you can use the device while it is charging, but the included cable is too short. If this is a major concern consider purchasing a longer USB cable with a Micro-B termination on one end.

The battery in my laptop came new and the life is about 8 hours. I hope this helps.

I guess it depends on what you classify as "extreme" use. If you have wifi on, GPS on, are concurrently downloading videos while surfing the web, I'd say 9 hours is probably about right. Try it with the OEM battery and see what your battery life is with the same conditions. My guess it is 4 or 5 hours.

It would be safe to say 8 hours, but it lasts a long time. There is no worry in the battery department!

I have had mine for a couple of years. It does stay on for more than 4 hours. Unless they improved the battery draumatically you will not get 6 - 8 hours.

I had the thing on a medium volume on Saturday, and it wasn't even on a full charge and it was still going when i brought the speaker inside 7-8 hours later. I use it all the time and have yet to use it for enough time for the battery to run out. Amazing battery life.

I got mine in the mail 2 days ago from Amazon. Battery is defn larger and add some weight, however I prefer both. The larger size cups in my hand well, and the weight gives a sturdy feeling to the device. Obviously both just opinions. However I got roughly 32 hours out of the battery with moderate to heavy usage. Left Skype, IM, GPS, and Live Wallpapers on the entire time. I also used the navigation a few times. It was defiantly worth the buy.

I'm seeing about 3-4 hours of Battery life. The battery is readily available on Amazon and easy to change on long rides. I recommend an additional charger also.

The battery life is decent, like 4 hours or so depending on what exactly u are using it for..

Original battery would last 6-8 hours when it was new. 4 years later and still kicking, the battery is down to an hour or two.

The most I have had battery life is a little over 2 hrs. If you charge it and don't use it right away it will die. But honestly for the money its a good price. Hope this helps.

The battery lasts for about 4 hours. The screen does have its own light. If that's what your are asking?
