Its a pretty long time. I charge it occasionally, but it has never died on me while I was using it.

With moderate to heavy use, I get at least 5 or 6 days out of the mouse before I recharge it. The keyboard will go two weeks or more. Both would surely last much longer if I turned them off when I'm not using them; but I don't. Recharging takes about 20 minutes using the supplied usb cable.

I have not used the keyboard continually since receiving it. I use is everyday for about 15 to 30 minutes. I have not needed to charge it for about 2 weeks. I accidentally left it on all night and a couple days ago and it still hasn't died. As a result, I would guess that it will work all day without a problem. I hope that answers your question.

It needs some time to fully charge. Make sure the USB cable you are using works and let it charge for several hours. Try to charge it via USB from a computer with the computer turned on and then test the keyboard. If it is not working try charging it with the computer turned off. If it is still not working contact the service.

I've had mine for a few months and have experienced no trouble whatsoever, using the 10.1 Tablet charger to also charge the keyboard case. I don't use the separate bluetooth keyboard case that much, so I've only charged it a couple of times, and each time it has worked (charged) like a charm. Fact of the matter is, I have never had a separate charger for the case keyboard. Hope this is helpful information. Cordially,

I have not run the battery down before recharging. I will plug it in about every 2 weeks just to keep it charged and I use the keyboard often. I have been impressed with how long the battery does last and have never had a problem with this device.

i just returned my keyboard and tablet because it stopped working on me completely. The charger quit working for the keyboard and the tablet as well. It would not hold a charge unless plugged in.

Mine has had a functional keyboard for months after the first charge. Yours must be defective, because mine works great.

the battery is build-in the keyboard. can not change it, it is chargable build-in design, no need to change, you can charge it when it is low battery.

I would dare say the life of the battery is better than that of the keyboard. I would go 2-3 months before charging, but the keyboards they put in them are just terrible. I have had the keyboard die before the battery needs to be recharged

Had mine for about 3 months, charged it about half-dozen times. System Preference has an icon when you load up the Logitech Software that will indicate how low the battery is. IIRC that software will also tell you, if you forget, to recharge it. I simply plug mine into the USB port on the keyboard, and continue to use but a couple hours later it's all good. I got mine at half the price of Apple's and most pleased. Took the Magic Pad back.

I believe that the battery is a Lithium ion. It is entirely contained within the Keyboard and is rechargeable.. According to the manufacturer the keyboard should operate for up to 3 months for up to 2 hours a day

You might try some electronics equipment section in a store like Best Buy. I believe the one I bought to keep in my overnight bag is longer by maybe a foot than the one that came with the keyboard. Don't expect to find one much longer; the idea of charging the keyboard is to do it some surface like a counter top.

no, the keyboard doesn't have a charging port, or a battery. I should also mention that, when docked, the battery drains faster when the unit is in sleep mode, so when you're not using it, and not charging it, you should undock it from the keyboard. Just FYI.

I was wondering too. It says it will go 10 days on a charge but I would question that as well. I have a wireless Logitech mouse, which I love by the way, that says it's battery life is up to 18 months and I'm lucky to get a month out of it. From reading the reviews, when in battery mode , the keys do not stay illuminated and you have to press something to light them up again. I love the fact you can have a choice of wired or not. The battery can also be replaced if need be according to the rep. I have a Logitech keyboard as well that I have had since Windows 95 and it works as well today as it did then. I do have a cover on it so that may be a big part of that reason. I was wondering too. It says it will go 10 days on a charge but I would question that as well.

Yes, you can charge the keyboard. It doesn't take long at all. The good thing is you don't have to charge every day.

I had mine for about 3 months & only had to charge it once. The sleep mode, if stop using it, I believe it's like 60 seconds & it goes into sleep mode. You may have to hit a key twice to awaken the keyboard back up again.I loved it, however, the left side of my keyboard died & I never heard back from the manufacturer about receiving a new one.
