How is the battery on this laptop? How long does it usually last?

With mine I may get 3.5 to 4 hours maybe, never really timed it. I do know that when I unplug it and go outside, it seems like within a 1/2 hour to 3/4 of an hour the battery indicator is down a ways.

Although its listed as being maybe 7 hours the battery life is usually about 5 from a position of fully charged then without the charger and continual use. If the usage is not continual, lets say, a 2 hr movie or type a 10 page document and then leaving it at rest, then it can go up to maybe 6...

I haven't had too much experience with the battery as I usually have it plugged in. But it seems to last around 6 hours depending on what you do

Mine is near 3 years old. Battery life is certainly shortened now (probably 10-12 minutes run time) but zero complaints about its performance. Gets used a few minutes every few days. I have been guilty of leaving it on charge a few days over the years. Certainly been a good value so far. Will likely built my own battery for it when the run time is unusable.

I've had it for about two years now, and the battery life on it is about two hours, give or take. It's definitely better than the one I replaced, though. I'm still a little disappointed that I have to practically keep my laptop plugged in just to be able to use it for longer periods. Hope this helps!

I haven't had mine long so I haven't worn the battery down, but in-the-box new my laptop has been lasting about 4 hours while playing Steam games, so it's pretty decent.

I'm not typical...I use my laptop only occasionally and it stays plugged in most of the time. However, I did test the battery when it arrived and I got about 4 hours out it with light usage.

I haven't really counted an exact time but I'll say this:There was a two week period where I had it charged up, I went two weeks without charging again with 2-3 hours a week sitting basically idle in class and several hours of Netflix twice a week. It's plenty of battery from a full charge, especially compared to the stock one. It is absolutely adequate and well worth the money, you won't regret this one.I should add that I am on an HP Pavilion G6-1b60us with an AMD A4 and replacing the factory HDD with a Samsung 840 Evo SSD (so reduced power consumption over the stock HDD there, I'm sure, but not sure by how much) I haven't really counted an exact time but I'll say this:There was a two week period where I had it charged up, I went two weeks without charging again with 2-3 hours a week sitting basically idle in class and several hours of Netflix twice a week.

I got somewhat less than 2 hrs (but I wasn't doing much other than moving the mouse to keep the screen from going to sleep) - about what I expected. This is a basic (6-cell) battery. there are extended (9-cell) batteries that will last longer. Also important to follow the "break-in" procedure (full charge - full drain - full charge, etc). Some laptops may have to "learn" how to charge a new battery before it can do it efficiently, and fully.

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

I like to use the brightness at full and with the Wi-Fi on, if I browse, email, etc, I think it lasts me around 3-4 hours. The battery life isn't too impressive on this laptop..

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.

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.

mauri88, I don't use this computer so I can't give you an exact statement on battery life. However, I bought my daughter this 14" screen HP Envy with 8 gigs of ram. Upon receiving it I immediately removed the factory hard drive and installed a Toshiba 512 Gig SSD. My daughter uses her HP Envy for hours on the battery. I have never heard her complain about her Envy battery's charge running out. She really likes her 14" screen HP Envy.

The battery like lasts long, the laptop itself works very good, the beats sound is great, I can't complain, was a good purchase

Hey mauri88 I'm in a similar place as Bill. I got this computer for my girlfriend and I'm not exactly sure how long the battery life is but she has no complaints. She really likes her Envy and the 14" size works well for moving it from place to place. I know her old laptop had battery issues so if there were anything wrong with this one she would let me know.

I get about 3.5 to 4 hours. I think it also depends upon what you are doing on your laptop and also the power settings you are using (the brighter the more power and the amount of time you keep it awake) will determine how long it will last.

Battery life good - The laptop does not get as warm as my old Toshiba. I'm satisfied with those two points.
