how much battery life does this have?

It's hard to say, because I use it to fall asleep to, but I would say around 8 hours or more. I've had several of these and they start 8 - 10 hours and go down from there over the years. Oldest one I have is still about 3 hours from 2005. Get a charger and you can listen while charging.

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 think I got a bad Clip because after a short time it will turn off after saying low battery. It has never keep a charge since I got it about a month ago.

I've used my Sansa for an 8 hour work day turning it off to respond to an occasional phone call, or interruption then turning it back on to resume the music. I've never run the battery down completely and have never had less than 1/3 the battery indicator after listening almost continuously for 8 hours. If I were to guess, I would say the Battery will probably last 12 to 16 hours of continuous use.

2- 3 hours a day. Two days between charges, so about 4-6 hours until it needs a charge. I am very happy with the product. The FM radio is a plus as well. This is my second one.

All I can say is that the battery life exceeds 1 hour of run time and without slowing down. I've never run it it beyond 1 hour nor has it gone dead. I'm very happy with it. Recharge time seem quick enough but I've not timed it.

Where did you hear that? Of course not. I use mine daily and it usually lasts for 2-3 days based on my reading, web surfing and emailing activity. I let the battery completely run down after I first charged it and it lasted almost 11 hours. On average I get at least 10 hours of active use on it, but I usually charge it every three days.

I cannot tell you precisely, but I can say that we haven't noted battery life as a problem. (And it has a battery life indicator, which is a plus).

I've had it for about a month now and it still runs good as new. Battery life lasts about a week if used constantly.

I would say the battery life depends on the display settings. With full illumination, I think it's about 6 hours.

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.

I haven't done a test (like running movies for hours to clock the battery life), but I would say about 6-7 hours of use. I use it a lot, but only need to charge the battery every 2 days or so. No battery gets used when it's off, either (I know that sounds silly) - for example, I had charged it fully and the. Had it in my bag for 3 days before taking it out to use it, an the battery was still charged to 100%. So far, great battery life. Hope that helps.

It depends on your performance settings and what you're doing on the laptop. I use mine with high performance and generally use light programs (MS Office) and web browsing and it generally lasts about 2-4 hours depending. The life of the battery can extend quite beyond that I believe by turning off features and downgrading performance, but I have not really explored those features fully.

I only run for 5 or 6 hours or less so I haven't tested this out personally but according to the manufacturer there is 10 hours of battery life if you have the location services and timing going and 6 weeks of battery life if you have just the clock working.

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

I really haven't tested the battery life per say.....but I have had it on for more than two hours with the battery still holding charge. Hope this helps.

The battery life is as described. So far, I have not had to recharge it and I have used it for over a week straight for at least 1-2 hours a day.

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.

Don't know, but battery life seems pretty long...I've used several times without need to recharge. Sorry I can't be more specific.
