What does built-i battery mean for the upgraded version of the keyboard? Thanks!

I think that it means that instead of actual batteries you plug it into the wall to charge it up. The battery is built in. I might be wrong though.

My Guess It's just like an I pad the Battery is Integrated so you can't replace it.

Rechargeable via USB. I have found the battery to last a very long time on one charge. I would recommend the upgrade!

I know this post is old, but just in case someone else stumbles on it looking for a wireless keyboard with a caps lock / num lock / scroll lock indicator, check out the Logitech MK710 keyboard/mouse combo. It has an LCD screen at the top of the keyboard. So far its been in operation for 7 months with the same battery, but the advertisement states 3 years on one battery. The receiver is the tiny micro usb too.Here's a link.http://www.logitech.com/en-us/product/wireless-desktop-mk710?crid=27

You can use any AA batteries in the keyboard, rechargeables or otherwise. Just don't plug in the charging cable if you are using non-rechargeable batteries. You might have an explosion. Just unscrew the screw from the battery compartment cover on the back to remove batteries. One battery has a sticky plastic strip partially holding it down. I cut it off with scissors and refined it with a utility knife. Now I can remove and replace my batteries with ease. Battery compartment cover is flimsy and a bit of a challenge to put back on, but nothing major.

See the "release date for U50Vg-AM1" thread. A buyer got 3.5-4 hours. Very nice of him to provide this info as Asus is anything but forthcoming on the battery life of the backlit keyboard models.

Honestly, I don't now. I just checked the packing slip that came with the keyboard, (I keep everything for my records) and it doesn't mention anything about which version it is.

I don't know anything about that keyboard. The power adapter I bought puts out 2A at 12V and plugs into the keyboard with a standard 2-conducter mini-plug. You need to look at the input on the back (or wherever) of your keyboard. Mine says "DC input 10-12V."

I only have the keyboard and it does not have an on/off switch, but I got it On August 7th of 2013 and I am still using the same batteries.

No problem! I'll try to do some more testing tonight, but so far I've only tried charging the tablet itself. The only way I was able to verify that it charged was to make note of the battery life before plugging it in, then check the numerical status after 20 minutes. During that time, my battery widget showed an increase from 94% to 97%. I'm not sure if the keyboard dock needs the full 2 A to set off the LED charging indicator (since that's what the OEM AC adapter ouputs) but I'll try it out tonight and report back. Either way, if you're interested in picking one of these up, I just got mine for $60 shipped from buy.com No problem!

Well, we know that the voltage is 12v DC @ 1.5 amps for the keyboard. But I wouldn't try it. How many amps are coming from the battery? If it matches and the wiring is center pin positive, I then can see no problem.

No, this model doesn't have a battery in the keyboard ~ as the TF 101 did. it probably was a trade off to keep the price so reasonable (a guess.)

It appears to be the same combo pack. If it is, we have been very pleased with the performance of both pieces. The Batteries in the mouse still have an excellent charge, and the keyboard maintains a full charge, even using mainly ambient lighting in the room.

Your number does not match any of the old batteries that I have or the new battery. But the new battery seems to fit my old mouse's OK.I have been through two Gyration mouse's, and I bought a third with a replacement battery. I have a theater type situation, where I have a large screen TV sitting about ten or twelve feet away. I saw a new keyboard from Logitech No. K830. It has a built-in track pad/touchpad and backlit. http://blog.logitech.com/2014/04/09/shedding-light-on-pc-to-tv-entertainment/When I switch over to the third mouse, I will be getting the Logitech keyboard, I think.

I find the battery life to be really long, although my use of the keyboard is sporadic. I've been really pleased at how infrequently I have to recharge. Sorry I can't give you a more precise answer. One thing I try to remember to do is to power off when I'm not using the keyboard. Good luck!

I have had mine for a half-a-year now and I can say I've only replaced the battery once and right now it's reporting a 60% charge. I use the keyboard for hours-on-end daily. Highly recommended wireless keyboard if you're looking for long-lasting battery life. I also highly recommend the Logitech v470 mouse paired with this keyboard for its equally long-lasting battery life.

There's a small micro-USB port on the side of the keyboard - near the switch. One charge lasts a LONG time.

it has an internal battery - it comes with the cord which you connect the keyboard to a standard household outlet. basically the same as charging a cell phone. in fact, many cell phone cables will work with it also. i've plugged mine into the same car charger cord i use for my cell to enable charging while i drive. so far, i've found that the battery holds power for much longer than i'd expected before needing to be recharged. hope this makes a little bit of sense - i'm not much of an electronic whiz so my wording is not very "techy" : (

not sure i fully understand the full context of ur question but this keyboard is worthy of a new upgrade or replacement.
