Extending Edge battery life? Anybody tried it?

Do a search on forums at www.motionbased.com. There is alot of information. Apparently there are ipod mini chargers that will do the job, without having to build it yourself.

I get a couple of hours of messing around with surfing, email, etc....not very demanding stuff. I'm never far from an outlet tho, since this is not the sort of tablet you will take camping or something. It comes with a cord so you can plug it in while using it as a tablet; it does not have to be on the dock to charge. I've had it since the summer, and still love it.

Poor, it reduces quickly after a few calls and messages. I have many features turned off most of the time, and can still see 10 and 20% battery life reductions in under an hour. Same for lots of surfing. I always have a charger with me. I am curious if maybe a new battery would improve the situation, however I have olny owned the phone for 3 months.

Thanks for the info thus far, Paul. I've been out of the country, lugging my 8 pound Dell Vostro around with me, wishing I had this baby. Sounds like the wifi card is good. Like the backlit keyboard? I assume the battery life will not be earth shatteringly long what with all the bells and whistles. The two reviews written thus far have provided about zero useful info, so if you can, keep it coming.

Not sure how much time you'd be spending actively using it vs just having it ready to be used, but I am charging it every other day. I do find that it seems to take longer than other devices to re charge fully. And the cord is oddly short! I received a pop up Msg that encouraged me to close unused apps to preserve battery life. By long pressing the center button open apps appear and they swipe away to close.

Yes I'm agreed, but, the potential of it makes me not complaint. It's really useful especially for people who spent 12 hours at work or work longer than that the Mfi certified battery won't let you die at any circumstances. I recommend it to any apple fan or users

I suggest you install the program (Du Battery Saver) and complements and increases the battery performance... Actually to me it going very well with this change.

Don't think so....Disney and airports and restaurants provide places to plug into and charge up, so; I had no problem extending battery use via break times, so not an issue! Get out there and have fun!

I can't answer your question. My edge never worked properly and I returned it.

Everything I read about it on netbooks has been really good. I'm going to do the update sometime this week or this weekend. I'll let you know what I think.

I get extremely good battery life, I believe the biggest power draw to be the HDD (which I replaced with a Samsung 840 Evo), so that may be why I get better than most. I also use the sleep function A LOT! But, this is my school and travel computer and I use it about 2-3 hours a day and only plugin every other day.

There are many tips about this. You can turn off Bluetooth and Wifi while don't use it. Also config lock screen time in 5 sec and install from Google Play the GO Power Master app to manage other setting that help you to extend battery life

There is no easy access for the battery, i guess if you are a tech geek you can have a crack at it at your own risk, otherwise you would need a professional to do it. From my personal usage (Internet, Apps & Games) battery life is pretty good as i never ran out of battery, if you are more using it for movies it might drain the battery quicker but i can not comment on this.

My suggestion would be to close some apps you are not using before going to youtube & check on the energy saving settings, which limits the processor speed to favour longer battery times.

My battery life lasts quite a while. I was watching a live stream video and it lasted 4 - 6 hours. On a regular basis, just checking email, surfing the net, etc I only have to charge every two or three days.

I have had it since its release day and havent seen a problem. Have you checked to see which application is consuming the most battery? Also, like all my android products I install 'advanced task killer' which terminates selected apps from running in the background consuming battery.

Many factors affect battery life. I can usually get 4-5 hours out of it if I am not doing a lot of surfing and I dim my screen as I notice the battery getting low.
