How long does the battery last? I.e. If you put a new battery in it, and don't use it at all, how long will it stay at full power?

It probably depends how often you use it. I walk in the morning, and use the flashlight. The battery is rechargeable, and I plug it in to charge it once a week.

It has a built in rechargeable battery. Mine stayed charged. I never actually used, only tested it once in a while. However, after having it a month, the flashlight got stuck in the on position, causing the whole thing to get reall hot and it fell apart in my attempt to turn off the flashlight. Not very sturdy...

I would say at least three months without use. A pretty reliable device. Really holds the charge

I owned one of these new from hp. my battery would last up to 4- 1/2 hours. But I followed the owners manual. And this is the best laptop that HP has made in a while. and If I had extra money I would buy myself another one.

For me, so far, it has been lasting just about 2-3 hours on a full charge. Almost 1 year of usage so I do keep it plugged in when not in use and definitely overnight.

When the unit is new, 3 hours on a full battery. The older the unit gets, the more that time declines. After about a year, it would barely hold a charge. I'm not sure if it is the battery/charger/unit itself. We replace the charger every 6 months and it gives us about 2.5 hours, and declines over time.

With installed 800mA battery, after 100% charged, it last about 3 days. We had a test on a 2400mA battery, it last about 7 days.

I just used mine for 6 straight hours, and 2 hours the day before, still going strong. I would estimate 10 hours full charge to dead.

We don't use it continuously , so actually don't know how long it lasts at one time. It doesn't loose power as it is used and has a shut off warning before it actually stops. This is to protect the battery, and it's a great feature for the user as well. One of the best investments in our tool chest! GET ONE . . . You won't regret it.

Original battery would last 6-8 hours when it was new. 4 years later and still kicking, the battery is down to an hour or two.

According to the information I have with my manual, the battery is not supposed to be replaced. The battery, with proper care, is designed to last quite awhile, but it depends on how much you use it. I hope that's helpful.

Please, people. He's asking how long it would last at full load. It's a pretty common question for UPSs and when it's asked, it means FULL LOAD. Answer his darn question. WILL THIS UPS LAST FOR AT LEAST 30 MINUTES AT FULL LOAD? HOW MUCH LONGER?

Several hours. Check the item description. and google the item title for blog discussions for more details. I think it also matters on what you hook up to it, but I'm not certain. It's also ok to keep it plugged in while it is in use.

One full charge last about 3-4 hours game time for me. The battery does drain really fast. If I charged fully, it only takes about 3 days to be out of power. However, the real problem for me is that the battery is unable to hold any charge at all, after 3 weeks. I only charged it like 8 times. I had to return the product. Right now, I really wonder whether or not it's just me or others have the very same problem.

I've had mine for a few months now and ive let it go from full charge to dead a couplde times to keep the battery maintained. I'd say an estimate of 7-8 hours on standby i.e. on but no real processes. Maybe longer than that. I do know that under stressful procedures i.e. multiple processes running such as a gaming client, chat system, word processor, internet, spotify etc it goes from full battery to no battery in 3 hours or less. This is just based on what I've had. Take it with a grain of salt I guess.

On a full charge on full power it will last about 15 to 20 minutes. It has plenty of power and can move a lot of debris on a single charge.

Mine runs a minimum of 30 minutes on a full charge. I've never run it out so I'm not sure how long it might last.

I would charge it for a full 15 hours before using it. They usually come partially charged, so doing a full charge is the best way to be sure.
