I'm not sure exactly but I know it is good. My daughter charges her about once a week.

I am looking at the battery life indicator now and it says 1hr 57 minutes, 54% remaining. So it looks like about 4 hours.

Don't know, but battery life seems pretty long...I've used several times without need to recharge. Sorry I can't be more specific.

Maybe 2 hours on battery saving mode if your lucky. If battery life is a concern I'd look elsewhere. This computer is mostly a desktop replacement.

I'm not sure if there is some confusion regarding how it is powered but I don't want to seem like a jackass but it depends. Unit is powered by 4 "AA" batteries (not included), if you use high powered batteries I think you could get 6-12 hours of use at moderate volume. If you use cheap batteries at high volume maybe 3-6 hours, again depends. Friend I bought it for uses the AC adapter, when we used it with batteries (standard alkaline) it lasted 2+ hours without dying, I hope this helps.

I can't remember since I returned the device very soon after purchase. (Software was pretty poor; connector for computer broked right away.) Anyway, thse units take so little energy that the batteries will last for a long time.

I did not use the Lenovo as a portable device that often. My answer on battery life is that it is AVERAGE. Lenovo maintains "up to 5 hours" (Lithium, 4-cell, 32Wh) in their official specs, but I would mark that down to 4-4.5 hrs. (the battery is only 4-cell). I sold this unit only because the keys were too stiff for my MS riddled hands and switched to a noisy HP ENVY with soft keys. All in all, (for the rest of you) it is a GREAT machine!!! Thanks for your inquiry.

Battery life is exceptionally good. I use it most days, briefly, and charge maybe every two months. My last unit, the earlier model, was not quite as good in many ways: this is the superior unit, long lasting, durable, and very effective.

Should be around 8 hours. I found mine wasn't working so I open up the battery compartment and found the battery wasn't hooked up. Once I hook the battery up to the unit it work perfectly. Your battery could be disconnect hence is not holding the charge. Worth looking into this. Good luck.

Sorry, I don't remember. I returned the unit shortly after I bought it since it was defective.

The unit uses 2 AAA batteries included, according to manual ' providing over 150 30-min sessions per battery life. I haven't owned it long enough to test that. The remote uses 1CR2032 included.

I leave the unit in the charger when not in use and have never had issues with battery life.

I can speak to the battery life. I installed the base unit and one remote (outside) on 2012 Dec 2. I'd ordered lithium batteries for it (good for temperature extremes), but they hadn't arrived yet, so I loaded them up with some AA Duracell alkaline batteries I had. 472 days later, the main unit started losing contact with the remote, and I noticed its low battery indicator was on. The remote was still going strong. I replaced the alkaline batteries in both units with the lithium batteries that I'd ordered back in 2012. That works out to 15 months (over two winters and one summer) on just regular alkaline batteries. I'm expecting longer life from the lithiums.

Battery is built into unit. It has a very good battery life as well. I was very impressed. Hope this helps.

My wife bought this for me for a trip out to Big Bend last Xmas. I still have the same batteries in it and have used it since Dec 26, 2014. on a few trips and power outages.I'm going to say 150 Low and more than 16 hours on High.

What is the shelf life of this battery unit if I plan to keep it as a back up battery?

It has a 6 hour battery life. It is an internal rechargeable that is non-replaceable.
