I see that you say the battery life is 9 hours, I was under the impression that their was a battery on the tablet and the keyboard for 18 hrs total?

That spec is for the tablet only; they use the same spec list for both the bundle and the tablet-only listings. While docked to the keyboard, the run time does in fact double.

No. The keyboard does not have a battery. It uses the power from the tablet. You can plug a charger into it so the tablet charges.

Make sure that the magnet at the top of your case is not touching your screen. Also, the connection may not be as tight as it started out being. I have looked under the keyboard and there is not a battery. I would suggest jiggle lightly the part of the cord connecting keyboard to tablet. Just a slight movement to make it realize that something is plugged in. Also try not to use this keyboard port as a charger for your Tablet. I noticed that caused a problem also.

I guess it depends on what you classify as "extreme" use. If you have wifi on, GPS on, are concurrently downloading videos while surfing the web, I'd say 9 hours is probably about right. Try it with the OEM battery and see what your battery life is with the same conditions. My guess it is 4 or 5 hours.

Once charged, I used the key board about 3-4 hours daily for one and a half week, and still with battery!!! But this depends on the use!!

The battery life really depends on your screens brightness and what your doing on the internet. Watching videos or downloading things will drain the battery more then just posting on facebook or doing research. As for the keyboard, no it doesn't have a backlight which, to me, is the only thing I see wrong with it besides the touch pad. Not sure if its just mine but my touch pad doesn't work properly. Other then that, its a great laptop, im completely satisfied with it.

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.

I bought the tablet for a friend as a gift and she seems to love it. I personally have a high end Toshiba tablet, and when I realy use it the battery only last 2 to 3 hours, so Im thinking for a tablet, 2 hours isn't that bad.

the battery is build-in the keyboard. can not change it, it is chargable build-in design, no need to change, you can charge it when it is low battery.

I have had mine for a half-a-year now and I can say I've only replaced the battery once and right now it's reporting a 60% charge. I use the keyboard for hours-on-end daily. Highly recommended wireless keyboard if you're looking for long-lasting battery life. I also highly recommend the Logitech v470 mouse paired with this keyboard for its equally long-lasting battery life.

I'm not sure, but I turn off keyboard when I am not using the keyboard. I charged it up overnight when I first got it. I have had for now 2 weeks and it still has a charge. I have not recharged the keyboard yet. I hope this helps

Keyboard does not have a backlight. The battery lasts about 3 hours (maybe more) if you're just browsing or typing.

No there is no battery in it. Microsoft does make a keyboard with a battery built in to extend tablet usage.

I hadn't really tested battery life, so I fully charged the tablet, then set up the power controls to never turn off the display or PC. Then I set it down and let it run. So far it has been 6 1/2 hours and it's still going. The battery indicator says 11% left for 38 more minutes. I suppose the power consumption might have been somewhat higher if I were streaming something, maybe I'll try that test after this, but it definitely has a good battery life. This test was run with WiFi on but without the bluetooth keyboard.

I can't really answer that because I use Android. I haven't checked the battery from my tablet. I only check from my PC, and it seems good. I use Linux Mint, which required no drivers or downloading to have everything just work, after I manually linked the keyboard the first time. That part took a little command-line tweaking. Not so for my Android tablet (Nexus 7, so native Google latest version).
