Will this battery hold a charge to watch a 2+ hour long movie?

I ordered one - I could not watch a 2 + hour long movie before the power ran out - that battery died in less than a year. I just ordered a second battery - over a month ago and I still have not received it yet - could you check on that for me? Thanks Linda K.

Yes, it should. My laptop lasts a minimum 3 hours of continuous use utilizing browsing, email and videos.

You're welcome! Remember, this is a 6-cell battery and because of the size it will protrude a little from the back of your laptop.

I can't say for sure. Neither of the two I bought seemed to hold the charge for long but I want to try again, check further.

It certainly will help. 15 hours of video and games night be more than the capacity of one battery though. These units used as a recharger, will do a couple of full recharges on a single charge for my fire. Might go the whole distance. Get one.

It will work just don't expect the charge to last as long as the original Apple battery. If I use my laptop a lot during the day the charge won't last for more than a few hrs and it's still fairly new.

As I recall, the battery charge lasted about one movie. I used it with the battery and on the adapter maybe 6 times--it died the same week the warranty ran out.

It's a good charger I think that it will charge it but I don't know how effective it will be if your watching movies and you have a long plane ride will it charge? Yes for that long period of a time? Probably not ... (From my experience)

It maybe gives me 90 minutes to two hours of standard use, which includes filming of course, standby, occasional zooming, etc. That is just an estimate, and I have not actually timed it. But either way it is a lot longer that what the included battery offers.

I haven't used it for more than 12 hours but it still had plenty of charge left after that time. I use it as a backup to the EN-EL-14 battery that came with my camera.

so far for last couple of months that looks like the battery hold a full charge on video and music to last up to 5 to 6 hours. it's less than 4 months old so u have to judge that yourself.

Yes, however you may want to consider purchasing a longer life battery if you want to film something that lasts longer than an hour or two.

It really depends on the work you do. I can easily watch two complete movies and still have some battery left. About internet and web browsing.. kind of 6 hours straight. When i use it for different things along the day... i usually have to recharge it every two days (not heavy user obviously)

Yes, laptop batteries are not meant to last too long. 2 hours is about average.

My Anker gives me a solid 4 hours of almost fully bright screen and optical drive use. If your 9-cell/7860mAh is rated at 7 hours and performs that well under load it's a great battery. If it doesn't perform that well under load than it could be a "difference" in test conditions. (My Anker will keep my Pavilion dv7 going all day with a dimmer screen and no real use)

I have purchased two of these batteries and neither would hold a charge of between 1 and 2 hours. It should last 4 to 6 hours. It cost about $130 at Batteries Plus and less than $20 through Amazon. I guess you get what you pay for.

i have been disappointed with the battery; it seems to last oly 3 to 4 hours after a full charge.

I have had mine for several months and I still get 3+ hours on a charge.. Awesome battery for the money IMO.

I purchased it probably a year ago and it still holds a charge...I'd say it lasts a few hours, it's no longer my main computer so I can't say for sure, but it was a great replacement, very pleased with it.
