What is the continuous use battery life ?

I will answer the question for Alkaline batteries. I typically get 5-6 hours with a full back light, depending on the temperature. I like my display bright. If you reduce the intensity of the back light, I think you might be able to go double (10 - 12 hrs). I am not sure what Garmin indicates, but this is my experience. Note that you can extend the battery life more by only turning the unit on occasionally. The push button models (62 and 64) are a little easier on the batteries compared to the touch screen models. If you are using the unit in cold temperatures (&lt; 32 F), use the lithium batteries; otherwise, you will be in the field without a working unit. I hopes this helps.

I have had about 10 hours of continuous use on the device with the backlight on. It is a great unit, but carry spare batteries because you go from low battery to no battery quickly.

I honestly do not know. The most I have used it cosistently was for two hours with know issues. It uses AA batteries so I would image the brand of battery would be the deciding factor.

The extended life battery generally lasts about 2.5 hours of continuous use.

I have had more than three hours out of the battery life. In fact it is more like 9 months and it is used regularly.

Battery life is short. I turn the unit off when not in use. I do not just let it idle.

I am seeing anywhere between 5-7 hours typically of continuous use depending on what tasks I am performing.

3 hours if you are using the maximum performance option, about 5-6 if you are on battery saver. :)

I'm not sure about the battery life. But I haven't changed battery yet since I bought mine. Just be sure to turn it off after you use it.

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 have only used mine for several short periods. Time would depend on whether you run it continuously or turn it on and off.

I only use mine for about 20 minutes every morning on way home from work, and charge it once a week. So continuously on I do not know, but it is a great light.

Depends on how much you use it. I use it every weekend and the batteries last for about three weekends of steady use.

I have mine set to power - saving mode and I can get three and half days of normal use. An average of 5hrs a daily.

On average about six hours of continuous use. Bought it just for occasional use (i.e long trips). Best one I ever had.

I'm not totally certain about the battery life. I left mine on using it here and there through the day and it well into the evening before I had to plug it in again. I also know that I left in sleep mode for over a week and it still had about 70% battery left it. It impressed me how long it would hold its battery power

I am looking at the battery life indicator now and it says 1hr 57 minutes, 54% remaining. So it looks like about 4 hours.

Don't know but the battery consumption is remarkably low. Probably every couple of months if used for at least several hours a week -- if that helps.

I usually notice between 8-12 hours of continuous use before it drains out but I guess it depends on how long you charge it I keep it charged overnight. Hope this answers you're question.
