I have read bad comments about the battery life? For the one that give 5 starts how is the battery working for you?

It started off well but quickly went bad. It's on the charger most of the time

It'd not workin good at all I charge it to full an once I let my daughter play a abc game in less than 10 mins it's back to zero an it shuts down

I would recharge it, It would say 30 percent. Within 3 minutes it would begin to die.

The battery wasn't too bad. But I haven't had a chance to use it much either so as far as I know it's decent. But I am having issues with it freezing. I'm trying to return mine now and get a new one since I haven't used it but a very few times.

I had to actually return the orbo. Not a good product after all. :( battery life sucked and the screen would freeze all the time.

I've not let it get low yet I guess? I take it in once a week & fully charge it & have had no problems w battery life. It's awesome isn't it? �

Personally I think the battery life is OK... Definitely not the best. I keep mine plugged in most of the time

Battery life is pretty good. I like it because it is rechargeable. Just plug it into an outlet.

The battery and run time is pretty good. It will start to dim when the battery starts running low. The charger is descent also. All in all great product for the money. Would buy another one if mine were to quit on me. I use mine a lot and still running strong. Hope this helps

Battery life is pretty good... A whole day if your actually using it.. I've left it sitting and it's lasted around 3 weeks without usage on one charge.

I bought the first one 2 years ago, so far the battery is working well. My brother charges it once a month and uses it every other day! Not yet need change the battery, but I guess when ist is gone, the only way is to replace to a new one, after all, it is only 20 dollers after sale.

An swer here..when i purchased the batterys i was looking for a good long lasting battery an not a legal battle over technical stuff. Also in your question you wrote with current tech only about 3600mah. Notice the word about! You may be correct but you may not have found all the facts yet either. But beside all the technical an nit picking things it is a good battery an has served its purpose for me so far.

Well it's difficult to say, It's only been 2 months since I've had it. And it still works now. My only issue with it is that once in a while it occurs when it wont charge even when it's plugged in. But because I'm a buffer in computers I can fix that issue. all I can say is that it's better than my old battery cause I basically had to have it plugged in. with this battery I dont... Did that answer your question? sorry if it didnt.

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.

Did everyone try charging the unit while it is powered off?It seems to make a different to me. I bought three(3) and so far all battery seemed to be decently averaged out around 2.5 hours or so (mainly net surfing and video conferencing) after few months of usage. Power on while charging seems like charges don't hold too well even it shows 100% charged.Try it out...it may make some different.

I'm not sure on the battery life, if that's what you're asking, or how the build quality is. Build quality is ok, nothing too nice. Battery's are built in and rechargeable.

Hasn't been a problem for me but the more I read, the more I see owners having 'issues' with power-related matters (not fully charging, etc.). The battery on the unit itself seems to perform well under stated times and (for me) is slow to recharge. Good luck with it.

The battery has a good performance. It works more than 5 hours, it´s enough for me.

Want to know when the battery issue is resolved.The laptop seems great, but the battery work for just one hour instead of 6.5hours and there is a need to resolve this issue as soon as possible.

I've only had it for a week, so no battey problems yet. It lasts my whole 10-hour work day on a full charge. There aren't any instructions included abot replacing the battery, but it looks like someone else responded and said it IS user-replaceable. Li-ion should last for years, but good battery maintenance will help extend the life. For at least the first 10 cycles, I charge it fully, then drain it completely. Don't recharge when it drops to 80%, 60%, etc. The performance doesn't suffer at all even when it is almost dead. That should help you get the most life and best performance.

I have not had any problems with my battery; it has worked great. Sorry you're having trouble.
