battery life Can you really get 5 hours of battery life at a decent brightness level?

I've owned this unit for 3 months and realistically, you can get about 4.5 hours at average brightness and near maximum volume (with headphones).

Unfortunately for me the battery does not last three hours at full brightness. As with any LED light once there isn't enough better charge rather than getting dimmer the LED will start to flicker on and off. So I guess depending on the quality of the battery you get varying lengths of full usable boringness. I usually get about 45 min of continuous full brightness before it flickers, although capers batteries i have used don't last as long.

I would wager that I use this tablet as heavily as anyone would. I take handwritten notes on it in every class. 4-5 hours of continuous use a day, and I get 2 days on a full charge. That being said, I turn the brightness down which helps a lot with battery consumption. When playing a graphics intensive game on full brightness, which you should do at least once just to see the screen (it's beautiful), I get around 3-4 hours of non stop use on a full charge. Hope this helps. Overall this is an amazing tablet and I am thrilled with my experience.

For me, Battery life lasts about 1-1 1/2 months on brightest setting and 2- 2 1/2 months on dim setting. I use as under cabinet lighting and turn on only when cooking, 8-10 hours a week. Overall, I am very pleased with this product and battery life because it is still a much cheaper option to buy batteries than hiring an electrician to install lighting. I would like to get rechargeable batteries to save even more! Also, the wireless feature makes the system look more sophisticated, my friends could not tell they were stick on!

It just depends. On high settings I can get 2 1/2 hours out of it while watching videos and downloading. On power saver and lowest dim settings I get about 4- 4 1/2 hours out of it. Hope this helps.

You can adjust backlight of the LCD screen to save power + You can get an extra battery (4 hours)

I can't tell you exactly since I usually keep it on for no more than 4 hours at a time, then I will recharge it. I've had it on for 4 hours straight at the high setting without it dimming at all. I suspect I could get at least 6 hours at the lowest setting.

Average Battery Life is about 4 hours. The product description, (That MOST people seem to ignore), is "UP TO 5 Hours." 5 Hour Battery Life IS NOT Guaranteed. On a FULL charge, battery lasts 4 to 4.5 hours.

Sure .If you want the full brightness you will need one that can deliver the full current draw of the L E Ds .You can also cut a role shorter and get more hrs out of the battery .Ivan

It has 15 lumens at low power (16 hours battery life) and 30 at high power (8 hours battery life). This is not a bright light-- but it is sufficient light for most purposes.

about 2.5 hours at idle with screen on min brightness is it. Battery is easy to replace, so if you have a spare you can just hibernate, replace, turn back on. But if battery life is important to you this is probably not the laptop for you.

Using minium programs with dim screen settings I have gotten close to six to eight hours usually. While gaming heavily usually with bright screens closer to four.A big plus though is that it recharges very quickly.

I like to use the brightness at full and with the Wi-Fi on, if I browse, email, etc, I think it lasts me around 3-4 hours. The battery life isn't too impressive on this laptop..

Depends on the brightness set when on battery and how many applications are running. The brighter and more processes there are, the quicker the battery drains. If it's just for light use and not blasted on full brightness it should last about 3-4 hrs, at least that's on my laptop.

While I have not specifically timed battery life under high or low settings, my observations are that on the high setting, the light lasts on the order of several hours but the brightness decreases fairly early on. The light still provides useable light when the brightness wanes but do not expect the light to be "300 lumens" for more than an hour or two. I do not use the light on the low setting.

Between 4-5 hours is how much time it would carry a decent amount of battery charge.

The battery life seems pretty reasonable. I've had this light on for about 1.5 hours and it performed well. The only problem is that it's static sensitive and may turn on by itself.
