How long does the battery last when in full use? hard drive and Solid-state drive

I generally get around 4.5 hours. Most of the time I use the AC power. I use a hard drive not a solid state.

I have had this battery for over a year now. It use to stay charged for approximately 2 hours under heavy use. One thing I have done lately that has actually extended the charge to 30 - 45 minutes longer, is replace the old hard drive with a solid state hard drive. This has also breathed new life into the laptop to make it like a new one again. It is twice as fast after I added the maximum RAM and solid state drive. Cheaper than buying a new laptop.

depending on applications you are running brand new should last 90-120mins at least more if just using basic computer functions but the more you have running the faster it will use the battery

Battery is comparable to iPad, if a bit less, 7-8 hours. I am able to use an external portable USB hard drive plugged in for 2 hours a day for 3 days before I need to recharge. There are just over 33GB left after operating system, etc.

You are doing everything correctly, the problem is with the battery inside, it only lasts for a couple of months, then you can throw it away as battery won't hold the charge for more than 5 minutes. It is a cheap pen drive, so expect it to last as what it is. Use it as a usb mass storage drive instead and purchase a more expensive and high end one if you want to really use for a longer period of time. And don't even try to replace the battery, because you won't find any like it in the market. Good luck.

Sorry, had to return it because of a bad hard drive. So I didn't get to see how the battery life was under normal conditions.

There's now way of knowing that. Some of it is just chance. I've had drives last 7 years and some have lasted a few months. Also environment plays a part in that. If you have a crappy power supply that puts too much voltage or current or unstable voltages and currents into the drive, that's going to kill it early. Likewise if don't cool it properly, that's going to speed it to an early grave.

Not exactly sure what you mean by this question..like useful life of the hard drive?

My fifth generation's hard drive is on the way out after two and a half years. I had a 4th generation that lasted less than two years before the drive died, luckily covered by credit card extended warranty. I don't think these things are great buys if you expect them to last more than 3 years.

It has a 24GB SSD drive. BTW,one problem that has developed is a habit of spontaneously shutting down right now, like if you hold down the power button. The problem isn't with power supply or overheating, and it's happening with greater frequency. It's happened theree times in the last two weeks, usually shortly after I wake it up. Very annoying.

I'm not sure what a "solid state" drive is. It seems to be a spinning hard drive inside of a housing. I have to say that the reviews are correct in that the housing is somewhat loosely surrounding the drive but it continues to serve me well.

on a full charge, my battery - the original that came with the computer, lasts 2-4 days. But I shut mine down at night, so it's not running 24/7. But it is on when I'm working.

The system would have to be opened to change the battery. Operating battery life under normal use is about 4 hrs. Making use of the SSD, my battery lasts over a week without recharging. I close the lid when not using it and open it when I need it, that is all I you have to do to put it to sleep. The SSD recovers in 2 seconds from sleep. It is a solid system, the internal battery is the only long-term drawback I have found.

My laptop has 1 GB Ram, 80 GB HDD and I get about 2 hours of battery life when fully charged.

it's a SSD drive (which is what makes the battery life so long) ... am sure you could replace it with another SSD drive if that is the question your asking

9-11 years if you write 50 Gigabytes of data to it everyday :) Don't worry about reading data from it, flash devices (like an SSD) have basically an infinite number of read cycles. Hope this helped!

The battery lasts approximately 3.5 hours, depending on what you are doing. If just surfing the web, you can get 3.5 hours out of it. If you are gaming hard core, it may last up to just under 2 hours. Just remember, if you buy it, to read the directions on how to charge the new battery so you can get the longest life out of it. Hope this helps.
