how much battery life does this have

Battery life is pretty good. You can watch a full length movie on a full battery and still have power left in it..I would read some other reviews also..remember it is a 17inch LED and has beefy fans etc. So there are a few things going on..generally really quiet conversely.

I rarely run it on battery, but in high performance mode, (not energy saving) I got 3+ hours out of it and then I ended up plugging it in for another reason.

Maybe 2 hours on battery saving mode if your lucky. If battery life is a concern I'd look elsewhere. This computer is mostly a desktop replacement.

On "Battery Saver" power settings with brightness of the screen turned down, for web browsing and word processing my battery runs to around 10% at about 6 hours or so. In the description on Amazon it advertises 6.5 hours of battery life. I'd say that is about correct.

My husband uses this and he loves it. He uses it about 1/2 hour to an hour a day and the battery has lasted a long time.

For normal use the laptop gives you 2 hours and half, and for extreme use just like an hour, now for the battery life I think is larger than 2 year, since I bought this laptop in september of 2012 and the battery died at november 2014, but I have been using it in very extreme conditions for like 16 hours a day every day since I bought it, playing video games, editing videos, hydrological modelling, running virtual machines and it never defraud me.

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

Actually this item can support 4-5 hours stand-by status and 3 hours for normal use. But if watching online videos or playing online games, it may about 2 hours. The battery life depends on how you use it.

My children use this device and I have noticed that the battery life is not the best. You may get up to 3-4 hours of continuos use. It is not like my other devices that I can use for most of the day then wake up the next day and still have some battery life. I also understand that this product is not as expensive either. I hope this helps.

My battery life's pretty good, if I use it a lot it lasts about a day and a half, usually I don't use it that much so I end up charging about once every two and a half days.

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

About 2 hours with activity, stand by is several hours. But after a few weeks of use, battery life goes under 1 hour. I plugged it in for 3 hours, and only 1/3 of it was charged. Really awful battery life.

I get about 6-10 hours depending on how I am using it. If you use it for longer periods for listening to music its closer to 6. But if you are using it more as a way to answer the phone, then its up into the 10 and beyond. I love mine. If the battery life was longer it would be perfect.

Hi, I have not used it that long, but so far, the battery is holding up. Have not tested it on an all day run!Sorry I can't be of more help!

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.

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.

The battery life is good. I have used it to take videos as well as pictures and the battery lasts. The only time I have charged it is when I plug it in to transfer pics to my computer. Otherwise I can get 2 to 3 days of using it a lot and the battery life is great.

I can't say I have ever measured the battery life but we are happy with it. As long as it was plugged in overnight, it usually makes it through the day, because we set it to suspend after 15 minutes of idle time and we rarely use it for more than 30 min straight. If I ever take it with me to work somewhere for an extended period, I just take the cord with me, it is pretty light.

Hi Vicki, sorry I can't answer with any authority, I purchased the handheld but haven't used it in any capacity to judge the battery life. I will assume the battery will last 10 hours of use. In a real emergency at sea, you would be wise to use the time sparingly, maybe 5 minutes at a time, every half hour.
