Battery life on high setting?
1068302
About 1 month. I also by accident left it running on for two days straight in my office desk and it died in less than 2 weeks.

I can't tell you the exact length with new batteries, but I know it worked great through a four hour college graduation and was still going strong. I hope this might help you, sorry I don't have the exact length.

Although I don't use the fan everyday the original batteries are still in use. I'm very pleased with the fan.

It says on the box that the batteries last up to 55 hours. I would assume that is on the low setting. Other than that, I am not sure how long they would last on high. My daughter uses one of these for weekend camping trips and says they last a good while, but she has never paid attention to how long in hours.

I'm going to say a long time. I have had the fan for three months, and I would say I use it 2x per week all night (8 hours). So far it's still going strong.

It is pretty low. Sorry I mostly use the high setting, so I am not a good example!

I would say the battery life depends on the display settings. With full illumination, I think it's about 6 hours.

The high setting on the lantern is about the brightness of a 40 watt bulb. It does not last (hold a charge long, approximately 4 hours) on a fully charged set of batteries. That is on high. I've had the original set of batteries in my lantern since purchasing it about 8 month's ago. That's using it sparingly on low for 30 minutes to 1 hour in the morning on weekdays b4 work.

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.

The battery life is rated at 43 hours on high power, and up to 150 hours with the use of the dimming feature to balance amount of light with battery life. The key feature that extends the battery life of our headlamp beyond that of competitors is you are able to set the exact light that you need. Often (such as reading in bed or in the tent), you simply don't need full power. Our efficient LED bulbs maximize battery life by using less battery power if you're using less light. Note: As with all headlamps, you will see some dimming as batteries become weak and this is an indication to replace or even better recharge. Finally, if you are storing the headlamp in a cold place, store the batteries separately as leaving batteries in any headlamp during cold storage will drain the batteries. Thanks for your question and we hope you decide to become a valued Northbound Headlamp customer!

Casual use (Intel graphics, brightness at like 50 or 60) about 8 hours. Battery life with gaming (Full brightness, Nvidia card) about 2 and a half.

Is there an option to completely turn off or reduce the timing for the glowing buttons? Does that make a difference in battery life?

My replacement battery only lasts 90 minutes max. That's on my power saver settings with minimal internet browsing.

hello Gary, I have experienced the same issue, though not so drastic. I typically leave my setting on "Alkaline" and battery life is maximized. As to why, I cannot answer. You may be able to find answers on this forum http://www.exploristforum.com/forums/software-issues/

The battery life has been great so far! I've had mine for two months, I never turn it off, and I use my computer for 8-12 hours every day. The batteries haven't needed changed yet.

Not certain. When running low I plug in for 4 hours and I seem to get a full charge.

Also keep in mind that battery life is shorter the higher the brightness setting.

It only lasts a 2 - 2 1/2 hours MAX for me. And I have my computer on the settings to maximize the battery life. Very disappointing.

RE: FriedhoffJust a friendly reminder: HD level performance w/ GN40 means battery life will drop. Likely a lot. Link above shows current set up consumes 8W whereas GN40 setup consumes 14W... That *roughly* translates to only 40% drop in battery life, so 9 hours would become 5 hours!

I've had mine for a few weeks now and am consistently getting 7-8hrs depending on what I'm using it for. Could maybe even squeeze a bit more time out of it if I changed my power saving settings.

I used mine for several months with light use. It doesn't seem to turn off automatically for me, but now that I think about it I can't remember if it's supposed to. In general I have no complaints about the battery life, or anything really. I like mine a lot and would consider it one of my best buys.
