I never got to drain the battery. It seemed to have good battery life 4+ hours. But the whole unit died after the third use.

Actually, my first full charge took almost 48 hours. I initially thought the battery was defective. However, every charge after the first one has been relatively "normal" (4 hours or so for a fully depleted battery). I'm very pleased with the battery's performance. It lasts for slightly over 48 hours with GPS, Wi-FI, and Bluetooth turned on; and normal call/text/surfing use.

If I remember right, I believe the battery lasts 4 hours. I personally love mine. I Keep it in my purse/backpack and it has come in handy more than I can tell you about here. I always have it close by, but I especially like that it's made in the USA (Florida).

I got mine in the mail 2 days ago from Amazon. Battery is defn larger and add some weight, however I prefer both. The larger size cups in my hand well, and the weight gives a sturdy feeling to the device. Obviously both just opinions. However I got roughly 32 hours out of the battery with moderate to heavy usage. Left Skype, IM, GPS, and Live Wallpapers on the entire time. I also used the navigation a few times. It was defiantly worth the buy.

It lasts forever, if that's what you are asking! Plus, mine came with an extra battery that I keep charged just in case. But I do extensive emailing on it and I can wrote two LOOONG emails before it even drops below 20%...like 6 hours of constant use at the very least. And I use a Swype keyboard which seems to use more power than the simple android keyboard.

Battery is supposed to last about 8 hours but can vary depending on volume, etc. I haven't really pushed it that far to see if it will last that long.

I've only had it for a week, so no battey problems yet. It lasts my whole 10-hour work day on a full charge. There aren't any instructions included abot replacing the battery, but it looks like someone else responded and said it IS user-replaceable.Li-ion should last for years, but good battery maintenance will help extend the life. For at least the first 10 cycles, I charge it fully, then drain it completely. Don't recharge when it drops to 80%, 60%, etc. The performance doesn't suffer at all even when it is almost dead. That should help you get the most life and best performance.

Hello Linda. I bought this battery just last year when the original died of natural causes. At most, this sucker last me about an hour to an hour and a half after it's been fully charged. Might not seem like much mind you, but I tend to use the internet a lot and stream things online, and different pages up at once. The less you use, the longer it'll last bit I was reall happy when I got it. And instalation is pretty simple. Let me know if this does/doesn't solve your riddle. I will try again for you. Please have a good evening.

I'm not sure what the battery life is. I got mine last year and used it the entire season and had no issues. I just powered it up now to answer your question and mine still works great.

I've had it for a solid year and it's going strong. Just needs a new battery every now and again. Couple weeks to a month depending on you.

I tend to keep mine on power save, it seems to last pretty well. I'm not sure and exact answer on a number but several hours.

I haven't tried to measure how long it holds a charge, but, like the others who have responded, I know it is at least a few weeks. Also like others, the blue light on mine goes off after a little while. Do you have the switch in the off position?
