More information on Battery life please? John S. says battery life is only a week. Are others finding the same short battery life?

I use my lights in my closet so I only have them on for a few minutes at a time. I haven't needed to replace the batteries and I bought my lights in March.

I bought these four months ago. We don't use them daily, but we use them whenever we want/need them. The batteries that came with the unit are still going strong.

Hi, my purpose for using the puck lights is for short term use. Sporadic use may be a more correct term. I use them for spot lighting short term use. If I need more light on a food project I tap on the light. I don't leave them on longer than 5 min at a time. I turn them all on if the electricity is out, do what I need to do and shut them off. I believe they are just for short term use. I believe in the directions it says not to leave them on for more than 30 min at a time

I've had mine since May 20 and only use at evening and use the 30 minute auto off. The batteries are still working great.

For me, Battery life lasts about 1-1 1/2 months on brightest setting and 2- 2 1/2 months on dim setting. I use as under cabinet lighting and turn on only when cooking, 8-10 hours a week. Overall, I am very pleased with this product and battery life because it is still a much cheaper option to buy batteries than hiring an electrician to install lighting. I would like to get rechargeable batteries to save even more! Also, the wireless feature makes the system look more sophisticated, my friends could not tell they were stick on!

Nope. No problem with battery life here, been using them for a couple of months now. I only use mine for about an hour each morning. If you leave them on 24/7 it might be a different story.

Yes, just realizing VERY short battery life. Not the great product I thought this was.

I've not let it get low yet I guess? I take it in once a week & fully charge it & have had no problems w battery life. It's awesome isn't it? �

Hi W.J. Two thoughts here. First, I'm not happy with the performance of the battery's life -- seem to work OK for low power items (i.e. wireless mouse), but fall way short of the mark for higher demand items (flashlight) -- I'd guess 10 to 15% of an Alkaline battery life. That said, and in all fairness, it appears there were a number of 'knock-offs' introduced into the selling stream. I'm not sure if mine were part of the counterfit lot. The customer service group at Eneloop aren't the easiest to work with either. I invested about $350 in batteries, cases, charger, sleeves. I wish I could get my money back and move on. Sorry to share my disappointing experience. I hope yours is better.

If the person who posted before me actually has battery life that poor, he should return his product. I have the 30GB and I tested my battery life, twice. The first time I got 14 hrs, 15 min, and the second I got 13 hrs, 50 min. The battery life is as advertised. If you read reviews for the product on many diff sites, you'll find that often the battery life even exceeds what Apple claims.

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.

I am looking at the battery life indicator now and it says 1hr 57 minutes, 54% remaining. So it looks like about 4 hours.

Can't tell you in hours or days, but battery life is really good. We have multiple users so hard to judge.

I havent noticed an exceptionally short battery life. I charged it at night every couple of days just to be safe

I have the same laptop, and have been using the battery for about three weeks. So far, so good. The battery life is definitely lower than the original battery, but I didn't keep in-depth stats on the original, so it's hard to gauge. I get about 1.5 hours of life out of this battery when watching movies.

The rear LCD consumes a lot of battery power so I use Electronic View Finder and use rear LCD for reviewing. With that set up I have not noticed battery life too short. I didn't test it very scientifically so what I am saying here is based on my actual usage. And I always carry an extra battery to be safe.

I own one and the battery life is only about 1 month. I will leave it to you to speculate.

Want to know when the battery issue is resolved.The laptop seems great, but the battery work for just one hour instead of 6.5hours and there is a need to resolve this issue as soon as possible.

Well, unfortunately I'm not an avid gamer so I am not on it that often, but I have found that if you have it in sleep mode it does a very good job of retaining power. If I were to estimate, if you played it as much as the average owner, I would say you could get a guaranteed couple days out of it...I might even venture and say three days. Again thats just a guess.You might wanna poke around online and google some sites that will give you some good insight on the battery life. Hope I was able to help at least a little. Have fun and keep gaming! ;)

Jeff I am also having issues with extremely short battery life. I only get about 15 to 20 pictures and then they are flat. How long does your camera take to run the batteries flat?

There's still an issue. the battery is supposed to last about a week. it discharges in one day. I received a replacement for it but the replacement will not synch with my phone :-(

Another factor to battery charge duration is the normal cell signal the phone has during the day. At a couple of sites I work at, the battery barely goes 8 hours but at my office, it will still be at 50 % at the end of the day. Also as mentioned - what are you running. I found that I only turn on items as needed (WiFi / GPS).
