It would be 2 hours if the laptop was using 65W - chances are that the laptop battery lasts 4 hours because it's using less than 65W - a quick test would be to use the laptop while connected to the charger - if the battery charges up (from not at 100%), then the laptop would be using less than 65W, with the remainder of that going into the battery.

I have had this battery for over a year now. It use to stay charged for approximately 2 hours under heavy use. One thing I have done lately that has actually extended the charge to 30 - 45 minutes longer, is replace the old hard drive with a solid state hard drive. This has also breathed new life into the laptop to make it like a new one again. It is twice as fast after I added the maximum RAM and solid state drive. Cheaper than buying a new laptop.

The write up on this battery said it would last around three hours but I've found that using the energy saving mode on my laptop gets me around six hours of surfing the web before having to recharge. Movies, playing music and other functions can eat away at that time but for the most part it holds a charge very well. I've had the battery for over a year and it hasn't slacked off a bit. Great Buy!!!

I have used the Acer on battery power for about three hours and it still had about 50% power left in the battery. I think it would go for about six hours or more if you turn off a couple of accessories like Bluetooth and WIFI and select the Balanced Power plan.

Hi! For my use (I don't do gaming, just regular internet stuff...videos, etc) I found it to have the expected amount of time - between 2 & 3 hours. I tested it out the second day I had it, although I use the ac adapter most of the time with my laptops. But I wanted to know what to expect, so I ran it on the battery just to test it out. I don't know if games and the like make a big difference on battery life or not, though. I hope that helps some. It seems like your basic battery life for a 15-17" laptop from my experience. I have 3 laptops. Two of them (this 16" and my other Toshiba, a 15.4") have 6 cell batteries and the battery time is about the same. I have a Dell 15.4" laptop with a 9 cell battery and get 4-6 hours with that.

I might not have understood your question, in that you want the time a battery will last, once charged (hours)? Since I turn my computer off and on there is no way that I can tell how many hours I get on a complete charge, couldn't even guess.

I would expect a few hours for a full charge. What indicators do you have of battery level? There are indicators on the bottom of many packs. Push the button and see how many lights show. Also, if you are using your computer heavily with screen at full brightness, a lot of the juice will go into running the laptop. There won't be much left to recharge the battery. You might try putting it aside to sleep for an hour and checking back later. Of course, if the battery is bad or the calibration is way off, that is another thing. If you charge a sleeping computer all night and only get 30 minutes of use before it's dead again, that's not good. There are ways to address that but someone else may know off the top of their head.

I would say if I am using my laptop to full capacity (streaming video, using high brightness levels, running multiple programs etc.), I get roughly over an hour give or take 15 min from 100% to 20%. I would say it's not as good as the new battery when I got it in 2011, but I am satisfied with it's performance overall. Just use energy saver settings and I think you'll find it's a solid replacement battery, in my opinion.

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

Between 2 to 2.5 hours of full-on use of the laptop...better than the HP battery by at least a half-hour.

Sorry, I've never really timed it. I know it is at least 4 hours, and maybe it is more. But the last computer I used had had a bad battery for so many years, that I had almost forgotten I could ever use a computer that was not plugged in. Not that it matters, but I purposely ordered this computer with Windows 7 because I did not want to use Windows 8 on a computer that was not touch screen. I have had the computer for about a month and haven't had any problems so far, unlike the person who wrote the previous comment.

It depends on your performance settings and what you're doing on the laptop. I use mine with high performance and generally use light programs (MS Office) and web browsing and it generally lasts about 2-4 hours depending. The life of the battery can extend quite beyond that I believe by turning off features and downgrading performance, but I have not really explored those features fully.

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.

The battery lasts approximately 3.5 hours, depending on what you are doing. If just surfing the web, you can get 3.5 hours out of it. If you are gaming hard core, it may last up to just under 2 hours. Just remember, if you buy it, to read the directions on how to charge the new battery so you can get the longest life out of it. Hope this helps.

Yeah that's sounds about right. it take 10 hours to about fully charge the battery unit with solar. the life of the laptop depends on the laptops power settings and what you are doing with it. I most use this device to charge cell phones and cameras etc...

I have no issues with this battery. I run my laptop for hours at a time typically, so I keep it plugged in. If you were to run as little as possible, I'd say it would probably last an hour or two.

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.
