How long does a fully charged laptop hold a battery charge when shutdown? My laptop battery when fully charged will fully drain only after a 3 days.

I can't answer that because I've always got it plugged in. I haven't really had the opportunity to test it yet.

There is normally a warranty of from 90 days to 1 year on the batteries. The question that will be asked to the owner is "Did he/she maintain the battery properly during that time. The proper maintenance is to let the battery drain all the way down at least once a month and then ensure that it is charged back to 100% before it is unplugged from the power outlet. Also, do not leave the battery in the computer if it is plugged into the power source on a 24/7 basis. Not doing either of these procedures will rapidly deplete the time usage of the battery.

I agree with the other respondent, I left the laptop off, then charged it for the recommended time period. and for the next few charges, I fully discharged the battery and recharged it for the full charge. I have used it for several weeks and it seem to hold a 2+ hour useage time before recharging, depending on use. DVD watching uses more juice.

Laptop batteries tend to be VERY specific to model; small numeric changes in name can mean an entirely different hardware profile. This said, this particular battery died so completely in 72 hours that my laptop didn't recognise it had a battery in it at all. I would just pony up and buy the correct battery for your laptop and not go cheap. I learned my lesson with this one.

Sorry, I don't really know. I rarely use the battery, except for recently. I took my laptop to a meeting and it lasted 2 hours on an almost full charge. However, the battery was quite drained by that time.

Johnnie, never ever have had a completely dead battery. After mowing both front and back yard I charge for 24 hours and then take it offthe charger. This battery seems to have a lot more power/storage than my previous one. I've gone 3 weeks between mowings and still have full power between charges.

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.

Very common. The battery cells inside the battery are all dead. Happens in laptop batteries. That is why it is imperative to properly season all new laptop batteries. Full charge. Drain battery. Full charge. Drain battery for 5 consecutive cycles. When full draining make sure not plugged in.

Sorry I can't answer it for sure. I've covered the laptop bottom with non-stick shelf lining so it doesn't slide on my lap so I can't easily check it. I've had mine a year and the battery won't hold a charge for more than 30 minutes. I just leave it plugged in all the time now - which works for me.

My Toshiba is wonderful. When I received the laptop I had to plug it in to charge the battery. My Toshiba has a battery that lasts about 3 hours once charged. The laptop needs to be plugged in to recharge or can be used when plugged in.

A charged battery should power your machine for at least four hours so if your battery is inserted correctly, it should give you at least 4 hrs before charge is needed. If this is not the case, your battery may be defective. Do you see if the computer is actually acknowledging the battery under "power management? Hope this helps..

It appears to charge for about a 2 hour lifespan. But that's how long most of the 6-lithium ion batteries charge for. Most batteries last me 6-12 months before they overheat if you use your laptop frequently

Have had this laptop just a week, so I can't give a very knowledgeable answer. The solid state drive should help extend use time before needing to be recharged. I'm sure it will be at least 5 hours.

If you can take the battery out and run your laptop on just the power adapter - the battery is dead. My battery only lasted 5-6 months. Initially I got 3 hours on a charge - no more.

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

The battery comes partially charged. It is best to fully charge the battery before using it. Once fully charged, unplug the battery from the charger and use the laptop on battery power only. Do not let the battery fully drain, but rather charge the battery to full once it is down to 15-20%. Do this for a few cycles and your battery will be properly conditioned.

I don't bother. Mine still holds a charge for several days even with that. But it would depend upon how long you spend on your computer every day.
