Battery life claims ~2 hours, can anyone confirm whether this is the average battery life during actual usage? Will buy extras, but still curious.

depending on what your using the camera for you can get up to two hours but I would buy a couple extra batteries to be able to switch out and keep shooting video.

I haven't been unhappy with the battery life. Perhaps normal usage depends on the person. I play games, watch a couple movies, once in a while check things out online. I charge mine up about once a week just to keep it ready, but I do not use it every day. For the wi-fi, I have to be home, so I download games or movies to watch when away.

I've had it for about two years now, and the battery life on it is about two hours, give or take. It's definitely better than the one I replaced, though. I'm still a little disappointed that I have to practically keep my laptop plugged in just to be able to use it for longer periods. Hope this helps!

My battery life's pretty good, if I use it a lot it lasts about a day and a half, usually I don't use it that much so I end up charging about once every two and a half days.

I can't say that I've check on the battery life. It seems to last pretty long. I will check this week and try to repost.

My battery life lasts quite a while. I was watching a live stream video and it lasted 4 - 6 hours. On a regular basis, just checking email, surfing the net, etc I only have to charge every two or three days.

Hello, talk time is about 6-7 hours. On & off of conversations. I've talk 2-3 hours straight and with a "full charge" battery it still has battery life. Just about a 1/4 % been used. I hope this answer ur question. L. Wise

Battery life seems pretty good, but I definitely recommend the accessory kit that is only $19 and includes an extra battery and an external battery charger. Better to always have a extra charged battery on hand!

Remarkably good, but I haven't measured it. On all day yesterday, actually using it probably a total of 3-4 hours with sleep mode between uses, and still good life in it. Only time it died was at the end of that day I started a download of Windows 8.1 and forgot to plug it in--died about 75% of the way thru after a couple more hours.

I am not sure of exactly how long but it seems to be about 2 hours or so. I have actually never timed it. This is an older laptop my kids use for games so that might be why the battery doesn't seem to last very long. Hope this helps! :)

Honestly I have never measured the battery life but, for what its worth, quite a bit of times i leave it on accidentally for 2 days or so and it still has enough battery. If youre using it connected to the usb its not going to run out of battery because its getting powered by it.

Ha...I guess the one down side...I get about two hours on max performance. I have been thinking about getting a better battery for the laptop (4 hour type or more). However, I need to add my purchase was more for a portable desktop than a mobile computer (tablet, etc...) so it stays plugged in about 85% of the time.

Hello Laura,I primarily use it at work and have it on all day (7-8 hours). The battery life seems to be good...generally lasts all week. Hope this info helps :)Marsha

Sorry took so long to answer...battery life is maybe three days- I have to charge up every other day to make sure it doesn't die on me.

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..

I have been disappointed in the battery life. I was at a convention, started taking photos (no flash) alternating with some video. Battery was dead by afternoon, and that was NOT non-stop photo shooting by any means. If I had to guess, I would estimate 20 short videos and about 275 photos. I didn't have a spare and no way to charge, and missed the rest of the day. Buy a backup, definitely!
