How long will a trackpad go before it needs recharging?

Not sure, really. I've gone a work week without a charge (medium use) and I've never had it go dead on me. But when I'm using it all day, it is typically plugged in to a charger.

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.

Obviously it depends on how much you use it; my experience using it about one hour per day is more than a month.

Not sure as I have still been leaving this trackpad tied to the USB port on my Mac.Sorry.

About four weeks with heavy use. However, it will be the most frustrating for weeks of your life. This trackpad is garbage!

i am not sure..i would guess at least 3 years...As for how long the battery would hold a charge:Depnds on how you use it...I had the wifi on and was playing a 3D game for 2 hours with full display brightness and after 2 hours i had 40% battery left...i got tired of playing so I am not sure how much longer it would last.....you could set the display brightness to 50% if you are just browsing the internet and it may last 3 hours with wifi on.....

Very good. I suppose it depends on usage, but mine lasts for months and it's easy to put in a new battery. It takes years to wear a trackball mouse out.

There are no external buttons on the track pad, but a single finger click is left click and two fingers is right click. The battery life is excellent, getting over 6 six hours of steady use from a full charge, without making any battery saving adjustments to prolong the charge such as screen brightness, etc. It has several power saving settings which can be setup to make it last longer as well.

New computer. Runs on battery around three to four hours before recharging.

I don't believe there is an indicator when the keyboard is about to need recharging. It just stops working! Thankfully it charges relatively quickly.

Unsure but battery life is generally about 3 hours before having to plug in once again.

With heavy use with programs that demand more ram or major web browsing about 3 to 4 hours. Recharge time is about 2hours from a completely drain battery.

I have not had problems with the power source. However the cursor is a nightmare and has made this beautiful computer all but unusable. I think that the issue is with an all too sensitive trackpad, but I cannot seem to figure out a way to turn it off.

I am not sure of exactly how long but it seems to be about 2 hours or so. I have actually never timed it. This is an older laptop my kids use for games so that might be why the battery doesn't seem to last very long. Hope this helps! :)

Not very long and the keyboard does stay charged for a very long time. I've been using my keyboard for a few weeks without needing to recharge.

Depends on the brightness set when on battery and how many applications are running. The brighter and more processes there are, the quicker the battery drains. If it's just for light use and not blasted on full brightness it should last about 3-4 hrs, at least that's on my laptop.

I use rechargeable batteries and I typically leave the mouse switched on all of the time and let it sleep on its own when inactive. I have a number of devices with rechargeable AAAs so I always have some AAAs ready and fully charged. I have one Toshiba mouse on each of two computers that I use a lot. I would say that the rechargeable batteries go a couple of months per charge. I will keep closer track on my next battery changes to give you a more precise estimate. Jim

I would say slightly longer, but not so much you would be frustrated with it. I just leave it on the charging pad when I go to sleep when I'm really low or beside me in the office when I know I'll need a boost that day for traveling around.

If you adjust the delay time its fine! only problem I have with the track pad is If I drag my finger across it to quickly and across the whole thing is I use the Windows 8 functions of switching apps a mouse fixes it all

Well, if it's the product sold by AIBCON I'm not so sure. it worked for six weeks and then the trackpad stopped acting funny. I took it to Apple Genius Bar and, even though the macBook was 5 years old they looked at it for free and found that the battery had warmed and was pressing on the trackpad. I put the dead old battery back in and the trackpad worked fine again, though we had to keep the computer plugged in, but otherwise the computer is fine. I contacted the seller about returning the battery but they said it was after the 30 days so they wouldn't do anything about it. So, I can't advise taking the chance.

Haven't really ever timed it maybe(keyword) 6 or 7 hrs, usually i'll let it recharge after it dies when i go to sleep, sorry can't give you a precise time frame.
