How is the battery life &amp; does it show time &amp; date on the text part?

Time and date are on the text messages. Battery good for me but I don't use my cell that much. Really only have it in case I need help so I'm not a good judge of the battery life. For me it lasts a long time without having to be recharged. I text my children and grandchildren but no one else.

Hi. I have owned this laptop for a couple of months now and it is amazing. The average battery life I am getting while running wifi and having the brightness about 3/4 bright, I am getting 5 1/2 hours. With wifi off running regular programs like Word, Excel and Powerpoint, I am getting about 6-6/12 hours. Amazing battery life

Well..Ive had it for probably a month and a half now. I dont use to to type long papers (usually, but i have), but i do use it daily for notes and texting and i have only charged it once since ive had it. The manufacturer says it holds a charge for 60hrs of use.

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. The display will always show the last time it was set to. Do not concern yourself with the battery life because it will last for a long time.

Mine is near 3 years old. Battery life is certainly shortened now (probably 10-12 minutes run time) but zero complaints about its performance. Gets used a few minutes every few days. I have been guilty of leaving it on charge a few days over the years. Certainly been a good value so far. Will likely built my own battery for it when the run time is unusable.

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.

its great 4 me! Just make sure u turn it off by hand and dont leave it on standby. I did that once and it died. I've charged it a few times. I use it @ work only and my battery life was only 1 bar down after 7 hrs. All i do is listen to music i dont know if it drains faster doing other things. Hope this helps.

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

I cannot tell you precisely, but I can say that we haven't noted battery life as a problem. (And it has a battery life indicator, which is a plus).

I am not sure about the battery's life, I have not had battery that long in mines. I have battery in and it is working, I only ride doing the day time.

When it is fully charged, it lasts about a week, and then the battery loses one bar. I presume it can go a month and be just about ready to "die." It never actually "turns off" otherwise--the clock display is always on. But this is just in standby mode, without using the features.

It's decent, when I don't do anything, it drains about 10% per day, when I stream music (with screen off) it drain about 8-10% an hour. For a whole day of moderate use of music, text, gps, and call (a roughly 4 hours of use total over the span of a day) it drained about 50% of the battery.

It does display the time when not playing. I have not played with it enough to know if you can display it at other times.

I bought this for an older friend (89) who has macular degeneration and can only read with a CD player. When I visit her next, I will check and then respond. I know there is a window with the track # you are on, but I'm not sure about the battery life symbol. Will let you know. Oh, I just read the other 2 answers to your question, and yes, it appears the battery strength is also there.

Yes, it does display the time and date. You do not have to press any buttons to see the display. All you do is lift your arm up and the display will turn on.
