what is the average battery life?

If I recall correctly they take AA batteries. The battery life would depend on the batteries, I guess. We don't use them for very long at a time so I am sorry I cannot be of much help.

My daughter got them in Dec and she just changed the batteries in Mar. Her and her friend would use them three times a week during those months.

About 48 hrs. My Mother and daughter kept theirs on so they could keep up with each other. When they tried turning them off to save battery power, that seemed to eat up the battery life even faster. They are not using them at all now. It goes through batteries too fast and I still have not been able to find a charger that fits the adapter plug on the side.

We still have the original batteries (3 months) but our use is not regular. We use the radios when husband is working in yard and I need to stay in tou with him, so a few hours a couple times a week.

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

I've had it for about two years now, and the battery life on it is about two hours, give or take. It's definitely better than the one I replaced, though. I'm still a little disappointed that I have to practically keep my laptop plugged in just to be able to use it for longer periods. Hope this helps!

I can't say I have ever measured the battery life but we are happy with it. As long as it was plugged in overnight, it usually makes it through the day, because we set it to suspend after 15 minutes of idle time and we rarely use it for more than 30 min straight. If I ever take it with me to work somewhere for an extended period, I just take the cord with me, it is pretty light.

I would say there is no set answer to this question, the actual battery life that you experience will depend on your usage and maintainence of the device. My battery usually lasts about 8 days at about 2 hours or so a day, so about 16 hours roughly. YMMV!

i get about 6 hours on basic day to day things, like internet and word document. but i keep the backlit keyboard turned of, the screen brightness on low, and i keep it on powersave mode. on the first day that i got it, i was curious how long it would last if i did absolutely nothing, just letting the computer idle. (screen turned of as well). i got over 9 hours.

What is regular use? With the original battery I could work about 8 hours, with this one about 20. Reducing screen brightness can give you another 30% more battery life.

Usually around 6-8 hours. I've never had the battery die on a full days use.

it depends on what you use, wifi + fb+ youtube 3hours , also if you watch a film 3 hours , but if you play a game than in 1.5 hours battery life will last, just tiping word document or oly use fb can last 5 hours and more, i think normal battery life

I've only had it for 5 weeks, so I don't know the battery life yet. It is working quite well.

I really haven't tested the battery life per say.....but I have had it on for more than two hours with the battery still holding charge. Hope this helps.

Battery lasts about 5 to 6 hours. Picture quality not bad for s portable. Sound quality average.

It depends on the computer you're using it with, your screen brightness, whether or not you're on the internet, watching videos, have the volume turned up, etc. I get about 2 hours average, which is about 40% of the 5 hours I got on the Lenovo brand battery that came with my laptop.

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

About 2 hours with activity, stand by is several hours. But after a few weeks of use, battery life goes under 1 hour. I plugged it in for 3 hours, and only 1/3 of it was charged. Really awful battery life.

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.

It's pretty good... I got up to 2 days use with mine without charging. And when I gave it to my friend in Africa.. He never complained about battery life despite the fact their wasn't steady power supply where he lives.
