Depends I have about 3 to 4 hours on batt live at one time, it can be up two 6-7 if you are not using a lot of apps! Some people say 12 hours(hard to believe though.)

As a student who uses this laptop as a gaming/school laptop, I highly suggest this laptop. The battery for me has been great. The battery lasts around 4-5 hours for me while actively using it.

My Toshiba is wonderful. When I received the laptop I had to plug it in to charge the battery. My Toshiba has a battery that lasts about 3 hours once charged. The laptop needs to be plugged in to recharge or can be used when plugged in.

It´s no more than 4.5 hrs. I looked at the customers reviews before I buy it so I knew the battery life had not the best average. But I´m still very happy with my purchase, its a great laptop.

3.5 HRS tops. That, and the clumsy track pad are the only downsides to this rig. I would still recommend this laptop to anyone who needs these specs at an affordable price. Can't beat it.

I've had my Lenovo since June and almost exclusively keep it plugged in. I used the battery a couple of times but only for a short period. So, I really can't comment on the battery life. However, I do understand that it's good for only 2 hours or so. I've read other complaints about that. Also, can't comment on the battery replacement issue. Sorry!

In response to your question it only last for approximately one hour and thirty minutes. On 04-15-2015 at 01:09 A.M. I just read your e-mail asking me how long does the battery last when charged. At that time I unplugged the power cord from my laptop and began using my laptop with the battery at 100% charged. At 2:41 A.M. the low battery warning (7% charge) Pop Up appeared on my screen indicating that only an hour and a half had gone by from the 100% charge to the 7% charge.

ive had this computer for more than 2 months now. it's a really good computer and the battery life depends on how much your using it. If your using it for videos and tv i'd say around 3 hours. if it's solely for research it gives me a good 4-5 hours before i have to plug it in

I purchased it probably a year ago and it still holds a charge...I'd say it lasts a few hours, it's no longer my main computer so I can't say for sure, but it was a great replacement, very pleased with it.

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! :)

I did not use the Lenovo as a portable device that often. My answer on battery life is that it is AVERAGE. Lenovo maintains "up to 5 hours" (Lithium, 4-cell, 32Wh) in their official specs, but I would mark that down to 4-4.5 hrs. (the battery is only 4-cell). I sold this unit only because the keys were too stiff for my MS riddled hands and switched to a noisy HP ENVY with soft keys. All in all, (for the rest of you) it is a GREAT machine!!! Thanks for your inquiry.

I owned one of these new from hp. my battery would last up to 4- 1/2 hours. But I followed the owners manual. And this is the best laptop that HP has made in a while. and If I had extra money I would buy myself another one.

The battery is not easily replaceable -- you need to remove the back cover to access it. That isn't too difficult, because the laptop uses standard torx T5 screws. Still, its not simple. However, I've found the battery lasts nearly 6 hours unplugged for typical web browsing, which is good. Also, I've had the computer ~4 months and the battery life hasn't gotten any worse.

I have no way to answer your question. My laptop is now broken before the battery was used. I still have it if interested

Maybe I'm misunderstanding your question... All laptops come with their own battery(?) This Toshiba model, like most laptops in its class, has a removal 6-cell battery and the official battery life is 5.5 hours. Real world usage will vary, but from personal experience, 50% brightness, web browsing with constant WiFi connection, I would say that's pretty accurate.

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 have been getting about 4 almost 5 hours out of a full battery charge on this laptop. Right now I am just using internet and reading documents off. I also have the Screen brightness turned down low to help save battery life.
