Why this tablet only have battery life of 2 hours instead of 5-6 hours? Battery problem???

This tablet uses an i5 CPU and uses more power then ARM processor. Mine last up to 5-6 hours of normal use. The battery tend to drain quicker if streaming video or using apps like Photoshop. Watching Netflix the battery drop to about 2-3 hours of use. Also the keyboard dock do not turn off and will drain the battery quicker.

I have not experienced this problem. Are you sure the battery is fully charged before using? Perhaps you have a defective batter and should ask for a replacement.

Mine lasted longer. It probably depends on what you were doing with the laptop. My daughter uses it all day at the hospital. Were you streaming video constantly (uses both network and drive storage)? That would drain your battery faster.

I would try to go through Amazon's customer service first and if both them, the company that makes the tablet should send a replacement unit. Especially if it's only 2 months old.

I Think the problem is Not you but the Tablet, I had two for Christmas and they both were sent back. They would not hold a full charge, they would turn off when using it, Nothing work right. I think they are just Very Bad tablets.

I am sorry I can not help. The tablet I got lasted less than 90 days and I got mine in July 2013.I have nothing good to say about the product, yet maybe others might have had better luck.

I never had the problem when I owned one but I was disappointed in the battery life when watching streaming HD movies. It only lasted 5 1/2 hours. That's the main reason I bought it was for watching movies while on a bus traveling cross country. I took it back. That was shortly after they came out, so the newer ones may be better. The picture was better than any tablet I've ever seen. If they had newer android OS or a windows OS the wouldn't have been able to keep them in stock.

If you bought it from AAA Market - 9m4s9pwz4ydzqd5@marketplace.amazon.com I have had several issues with my tablet, and they have been very helpful. As a matter of fact, I just had to send my tablet back to them for the second time. I think that tablet herself is not that good. Hope this helps.

I hadn't really tested battery life, so I fully charged the tablet, then set up the power controls to never turn off the display or PC. Then I set it down and let it run. So far it has been 6 1/2 hours and it's still going. The battery indicator says 11% left for 38 more minutes. I suppose the power consumption might have been somewhat higher if I were streaming something, maybe I'll try that test after this, but it definitely has a good battery life. This test was run with WiFi on but without the bluetooth keyboard.

I don't know how long the battery lasted.. the tablet was so bad that I returned it. IT did have internal wi-fi and that worked but it would not run if I put more than two apps on it, and then even with only two added apps.. I needed to completely erase the added apps and reboot twice or more per day. It also had problems with the apps that were installed at the factory. It only knew Chinese time even I set it to my time zone. This tablet is really not worth the money or the time spent re-setting it. I'm sure the battery is probably the same poor quality.

I turn tablet off for 15 seconds and back on , that sometimes works. I had to take first tablet back because of that problem. Also seems to connect better with a good battery charge.

I have gotten no satisfactory answers myself and I am not really happy about it. I can't charge the tablet. Any ideas?

Try to turn off the tablet first and plug it in to charge for few hours. If your label says 5V 1A(1000mAh), it might not have big enough power to charge while tablet is on. If this doesn't work, tablet might be defective. Some tablets when it can not read the battery power level.

I purchased the 8 + 8 hour Tablet & keyboard for use on long flights.The keyboard works only when fully charged! There is supposedly an 8 hour battery in the keyboard so I plugged it in. However, I find that the keyboard power plug is very loose and the battery will not charge unless you place a tape to hold it in place and continue adjustting until you see the charge light indictor ON.It take took a FULL DAY to fully charge both the Tablet and the keyboard. The next morning, I worked on the Tablet with the keyboard and watched Netflix. Sadly, after 4 hours the low battery level forced the Tablet to go to SLEEP.I returned the Tablet and Keyboard.

Bad power cords are the main reason the battery won't charge. Buy a new one from an Amazon seller for $10 - 16.99. They are awesome quality and your battery most likely will recharge. But know that these tablets are not made to last many years. Not sure if the battery can be replaced even.

I think the battery life is superior on this Samsung. Heard the ASUS tablet battery was dismal. Hardware options look superior on the Samsung too.

Mine has the same specs as yours, and it's very laggy. To be completely honest, I wish I would have spent a little more for a better tablet.
