It works about the same as the OEM battery that came with the computer. I have been very happy with it. Especially the money I saved.

about 3 hours if you are using it non-stop, longer if you stop using it and it goes into hibernate mode

We charged for 8 hours before the first use. After that, charging only took 2-4 hours.

Battery Life is the time of how long the battery will stand until needing charged, this battery life has a long span time before needing charged.

Not completely positive, but more than six to eight hours. I find it is not a quick charge at any given time, but your given adequate warning that it needs a charge and can plug it in overnight so it's ready when you do need it.

It takes about 30 minutes to charge. It will usually stay charges for around four hours.

The battery takes 2 hours to charge on the initial charge, less later if some charge is left. A full charge lasts 25 hours. From the moment the light starts flashing, the battery is in a low-charge state and has 4 hours left. Great battery life!

I don't remember how long it took to charge but you can use it while plugged in since it is battery or direct current. I stopped using mine since it did not work properly.

My battery had a minimal charge when I RECEIVED it.I believe we are expected to fully charge it before using.

Yes, just plug it up to charge before use and it will last for quite awhile before it needs to be charged again.

I get between 3-4 hours on a charge. I tend to charge it when I am at 1/2 charge while I am still on it to keep it ready to go. It works well,I am pleased with it.

You can charge it in about 2 or 3 hours. I found a trick that if you make sure it stays cool, it will charge quicker and discharge slower. Not a bad battery.

The first time we charged the battery before we used it took 18 hours. After that we just charge it overnight. I think it was recommended to charge it 5-6 hours after using it.

There are only two indicators to the battery life, "charging" signaled by a solid red light, and "Charged" when the red light turns off. The time it takes to fully charge is roughly 2 hours. But with a continuous working time of 8-10 hours you shouldn't have much to worry about as far as battery life.

Before the first use it needs to charge for approximately 48 hours to prime the battery for future use. After the initial charge plug it in over night and it is ready in the morning; usually 6 to 8 hours. It has indicator lights that will let you know when it is fully charged. When all three lights are illuminated it has a complete charge.

The battery on mine works for days before it needs a charge (and charging is very fast).
