does the battery last long?

yes. Days actually. Just make sure when you get it, you run the battery completely dead before changing it for the first time.

Yes! With average use and backlight on (dimmed), charge lasts about 30 hours.

BabsStarbuck: I charge my phone at night while I sleep. . . the battery usually will last all day and most of the time through THAT night, so i don't have to charge it every single day.

Yes it does, I bought it for my daughter who loves to text & she doesn't need to have it charging all the time ...

Yes. Plugs in or runs on battery. I've found the battery to last about 8 hours

The battery lasted multiple times of me using this keyboard for several hours. You have to be careful to turn it off when it is done. I haven't had to replace the batteries yet, though, and I have used it maybe 5 times for 2-4 hours each.

I really haven't tested the battery life per say.....but I have had it on for more than two hours with the battery still holding charge. Hope this helps.

NO! The use on the battery is so low its not needed. I just turn it off when I leave home for an extended period of time.

Jason, I have had mine for a couple of months and the battery lasts 5 - 7 hours depending on what I am doing. This is a great machine and very fast.

Yes. I have had no issues with the battery whatsoever. I get a good solid 5 hours if not more with this battery. Of course the added bulk is something completely different. But it's worth it!

It depends on how often you will use it . If used a lot i don't think the battery will last for several days.

I have not yet run the battery out of charge and I have daily long phone calls with my partner who lives on the other side of the state during the work week. It lasts at least 2 hours so far, probably longer (though I might not).

I do not have an exact time that the batteries last. I can tell you that I've used it numerous times and haven't really had any issues with battery life.

No, it has a built-in rechargeable battery and lasts about 10 hours before recharging. I use mine everyday.Sincerely: George Gooch

The battery will last for 10 hours, but only when kept at a moderate volume. If you crank the volume up near max, the battery will last about 5 hours.

No. It fades in time, about 25% of battery life left. It's a powerful little light for one aaa battery. The power last maybe 1 hr of continuous use

Yes, it does. Some reviewers preferred the rechargeable battery option. I find that, in general, rechargeables tend to not hold the charge for very long, so I opted to carry a package of batteries and change them every few days.
