What is the battery life span? How often will I need to buy a replacement?

Can't judge yet. Have used for more than a year, and it's still trucking along. My experience w Li-Ions has been great.As opposed to Ni-Cads, they perform well till they're expended.

I have this Dyson for 4 years and the battery is fine, It is used regularly and has been perfect with excellent cleaning power. Remember to clean the head regularly and also to clean the filter as per the instructions.

I've had mine for 2 years and it seems to be going strong. The battery charge doesn't last a long time (about 15 min or so) but that has always been the case.

You need to send it in periodically to have them replace the battery. Last I knew it was $15 and they turn it around in 3 days. They told me batteries wear out about every two years.

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 brought the laptopp for one friend. I have no idea of how long does the battery typically last. Sorry for the that

According to the information I have with my manual, the battery is not supposed to be replaced. The battery, with proper care, is designed to last quite awhile, but it depends on how much you use it. I hope that's helpful.

I can't speak to the battery life of this particular model, however in the past and with different models, I havn't had a lot of luck. Typically, the batteries have to be replaced ever so often.

Battery life is very solid. I work 8-12 hr days with it and I would estimate batteries require replacing roughly every month to month and a half. I would note that I tend to leave it on all the time and it goes to sleep when not in use. You only need to click to wake it back up again. Am pleased with battery life (I find re-chargeable batteries are a good investment).

I've only had it for a week, so no battey problems yet. It lasts my whole 10-hour work day on a full charge. There aren't any instructions included abot replacing the battery, but it looks like someone else responded and said it IS user-replaceable. Li-ion should last for years, but good battery maintenance will help extend the life. For at least the first 10 cycles, I charge it fully, then drain it completely. Don't recharge when it drops to 80%, 60%, etc. The performance doesn't suffer at all even when it is almost dead. That should help you get the most life and best performance.

I can't say over the long-term, but I have had mine for three months, I use it everyday for hours at a time, and I have not yet had to replace the battery.

I have only had mine for a few months and never turn it off. My husband has had one for over 2 years, never turns it off, and has never needed to replace the batteries. Supposedly they have a battery life of up to 36 months. Hope this helps.

I have had mine for 3 months and have used it once or twice a day since then. I just changed the batteries in it today. So depending on you use I would say 2 to 3 months.

Battery life is fine, I've only had to actually replace them one time since my purchase. Checked the mouse with new batteries to make sure the issues weren't battery related, but they persisted so I stuck the old batteries back inside every time. So one battery change after ~4.5 months of fairly heavy daily use.

Battery life is excellent. I've been using at least a year, maybe 1.5 yrs non-stop and have never had to replace batteries. It takes D batteries -- 2-3 from what I remember.

the battery life lasts approx 4-8 hours...sometimes longer if not used continuously.

I do not have an exact time that the batteries last. I can tell you that I've used it numerous times and haven't really had any issues with battery life.

If you had yours for over a year, is time for a new one .. Battery life is one year but the benifits are worth buying a new one

Good, I assume. I have been using it 8+ hours/ day for 5 dats a week and I've had it over a month now and haven't had to replace the battery yet.
