For those of you that have had this battery for a while, how long is the charge lasting after 1 year or more?

With drain & recharge cycling at least once a month, I'm still getting ~ 3.5 hrs out of this battery.

I still average about 2-3 hours on mine. I've had in the neighborhood of 15 months. Been a great battery.

the battery went to 50% or less and didn't hold the power it had nearly as long as it should have

I'm quite disappointed with the battery life. My 8 year old original battery still lasts longer than this battery.

85% of when it was new. i'm satisfied and happy with that. it is better than the dell batteries.

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.

I ended three years of use four months ago and my battery is now dying out as well. I used to finish my lawn with one charge, now it takes two. I am contemplating the purchase of another battery, but at $149 it is definitely causing some sticker shock.

I received my battery last March (2012) and fully charged it up to use mainly for an emergency or when I travel. I had really forgotten about it until you asked this question. I just took it out of the drawer and found that it is still charged up to 99%. This surprised me as it has been just sitting there for 11 months now.

To me, it lasts at least as the original when it was new and maybe longer. It is really hard to tell without all parameters being equal in a head on replicated test which of course i have not done. Under my normal use I am getting through the day every day and still have about 50% of the charge left, where as my old battery that was greatly reduced in its ability to function correctly was often not getting me through the day and in some instances dying during the morning hours. In the older batteries younger life it did last all day and I would then again charge it overnight.

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.

I've had mine for quite a while. I love it and have had no problems. Keeps a charge for hours! Maybe you got a bad one.

I just installed it and drove around to make sure it had a nice charge. It has been a year without any problems. Best battery I have owned.

Hi,I have mine since two years ago, the battery had a duration between 2 and 3 hours, but since one year ago it last around 30-45 min.

Don´t know how long you´ve been using it for. If it is 1-2 yrs max with a minor-moderate usage I suggest you contact the manufacturer. I did it once at the beginning and they provided a great/quick service. If you´ve used it for several years then you have to understand that all batteries have a life. Maybe you´ve drained it a few times and it´s over now.

I have had this computer for approximately 14 months and my battery holds charge now for only about an hour to 90 minutes. I am having difficulty finding another one, can someone please tell me what replacement battery would work? thanks!

My original battery lasted about a year, too. I think it is time for you to buy a new battery, but that seems to be a problem, too. I have bought two that will not charge properly. I am about to return the second one. Amazon issued full credit for the first one I returned in less than 30 days. The second one never charged. I wish I knew how to test the charger just to be sure; however, from reading the reviews on the replacement battery it is obvious that many people are having problems with these batteries. It is a good vacuum, but the replacement batteries are a big problem. I would look for another brand vacuum if I had it to do over. My original battery lasted about a year, too.

About a year and a half. I tried replacing the battery and it didn't work anymore after that.

I bought the battery on April 3, 2013 and it is still going. Use my computer everyday and charge it only when needed. I leave it on most of the time so I'm not sure how many hours at a time I get out of it before recharging.

You did better than i did, mine only lasted me one year. However you have to be careful not to over charge that battery. That's what damaged mine. Good luck.
