How long the battery runs for playing games?

I bought this as a gift for my sister-in-law. Before she could use it, it appears the charging port is broken, therefore, the unit will not charge. They will fix it under warranty but I have to pay shipping to and from. I was afraid repair dept might say the problem was due to abuse and cost more than I paid for the unit. Long story short, I will donate it for parts. Sorry I was not able to answer your question.

When fully charged for playing games will last several hours. You can also use it whils unit is pluged in charging.

Hi. I would say about 5 hours. I do not play games and am not a heavy user, but I do stay online for long periods of time. ALso, when you do charge it up, it charges surprisingly quickly.

Using it for class, I get 4-5 hours. (screen brightness down, speakers off ect. just taking notes) Using it for random stuff (flash games reddit ect.) 3.5-4, Gaming lasts for an unexpectedly long time depending on the game of course

For me it's about an hour, maybe a little longer on gaming mode. About 2hr and 15 min on balanced mode, just depends on what you are running, brightness etc. It has never died on me when I needed it though.

When playing games about 2 hours of battery life. Doing Microsoft office or other things about 4 hrs

Very long. I can sometimes get into some lengthy gaming marathons, and the battery has never been an issue. I estimate 4-6 hours depending on volume and battery health. Also note that you can use the device while it is charging, but the included cable is too short. If this is a major concern consider purchasing a longer USB cable with a Micro-B termination on one end.

I use rechargeable and it played for over 80 hours in one sitting. Not bad.

It's best to buy your own, separate rechargeable batteries online. I recommend looking for around "2300 mah" "NiMH" batteries. With those, I have gone out with a dozen friends and played 2 to 4 hour games every week and maybe recharged them once a month approximately. Some won't even be dead after a couple of months due to light usage.

I would say that the playing time is about 20 min. It uses a cluster of 4 AA batteries that are shrink rapped together. I would say the charging time is around 6 hrs.

Long--I have not measured it but u can play with it pluged in with no problem. One thing thou the rubber covers on the sticks only last about 3 months and u can't get replacements.

The battery is great. I would say it lasts about 2 days even when I am playing games. No problems so far with the memory.

I have mine plugged in all of the time and use the gaming mode all of the time. If I do unplug in the gaming mode it will last 2 hours at the most depending what I am doing.
