How long does the keyboard's battery last?
1349677
Long enough that I forget when I last charged it. My guess is a minimum of a month with daily use, but as I said, I don't remember the last time I charged it.

I don't use my keyboard all day long, so this might be a little skewed; I only charge the keyboard once a week.

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 didn't keep it long enough to know how battery life is. But most Bluetooth keyboards have great battery life. It's not a problem. You might have to charge it once a month.

The keyboard goes to sleep (power saving mode) after 10 minutes of inactivity. It takes 2 keystrokes to wake from power saving mode. When not asleep, the keyboard responds instantly.

I was wondering too. It says it will go 10 days on a charge but I would question that as well. I have a wireless Logitech mouse, which I love by the way, that says it's battery life is up to 18 months and I'm lucky to get a month out of it. From reading the reviews, when in battery mode , the keys do not stay illuminated and you have to press something to light them up again. I love the fact you can have a choice of wired or not. The battery can also be replaced if need be according to the rep. I have a Logitech keyboard as well that I have had since Windows 95 and it works as well today as it did then. I do have a cover on it so that may be a big part of that reason. I was wondering too. It says it will go 10 days on a charge but I would question that as well.

You really do not need to charge it very often. I charge mine maybe once a month. I also don't use it every day though. Maybe 3 times a week for not much longer than 2-3 hours at a time. So it really all depends on your usage of the keyboard.

If you use a good quality battery it could last you a few weeks if you use it a ton to a few months. It all depends how often you use it. I've had this set for 3 or so weeks now and have yet to change the battery and I use the keyboard and mouse on average 4-5 hours a day.

Hello, it will take 2-3 hours to fully charge the battery for the keyboard, and about 36 hours continual working time after full charge.

The keyboard uses a single AA-Battery, while the mouse uses two AAA-batteries. So far, the mouse has lasted about two to three months (I did not turn off the mouse, I left it in stand-by, which is good). As for the keyboard, I recently had to replace the battery, but I believe it was more on the battery's side that the keyboard didn't last long. I recommend that you use Duracell or Energizer batteries for your keyboard and mouse to play on the safe side. Also, the customer support for VIOTEK is very good. My keyboard broke and they replaced it without me having to pay for a new one, so should a problem arise, they can replace it if you have the proper information.

I would dare say the life of the battery is better than that of the keyboard. I would go 2-3 months before charging, but the keyboards they put in them are just terrible. I have had the keyboard die before the battery needs to be recharged

My daughter uses it for school every day so she charges it every night. We've never run the battery all the way down. She's pretty diligent about turning it off when she's not using it. I believe the keyboard will go into sleep mode after a period of inactivity.

Hi Nam, Sorry for the delay in answer you. It has two CR2025 3V batteries that are rechargeable. There is a small drawer in the keyboard where you can open it and change the batteries yourself. You can find the battery at the Amazon for less than $ 2.00. I do not know how long they will last. For a heavy use I think it will last one year, but for a light use can surpass two years, based on other devices. I hope this helps. Kind regards, Ricardo Segawa

The battery life has been great so far! I've had mine for two months, I never turn it off, and I use my computer for 8-12 hours every day. The batteries haven't needed changed yet.

I dont use the keyboard everyday but I have not had to change the batteries out yet. I also make sure I turn the keyboard off when I am not using it.

I generally have to change mine every three to six months, but I use this keyboard everyday for a solid 4-8 hours of typing. I wore the letters off the keys before I had to change the batteries for the first time. Hope that helps! I LOVE this keyboard!

i get about 6 hours on basic day to day things, like internet and word document. but i keep the backlit keyboard turned of, the screen brightness on low, and i keep it on powersave mode. on the first day that i got it, i was curious how long it would last if i did absolutely nothing, just letting the computer idle. (screen turned of as well). i got over 9 hours.

When not used for 5 min, the key board gets disconnected from the tab. It gets activated in few seconds after tapping on any key. Not sure, if yhis can be really called sleep/wake. This anyway doesnt save the battery of the tab, as it continuously searches for bluetooth devices, till it goes to sleep. But, I did not charge my keyboard for more than 5 days of conyinuously "ON" position, with approximately 90 minutes of daily usage.
