battery life? Can anyone tell me how the battery life is with the battery it comes with.

I've only had it for a year and don't use it much, but the battery drains pretty fast. When not near a power outlet or charger, you definitely need an extra battery.

The typical recording time is 45-55 minutes and typical playback time is 105-135 minutes, each with a fully charged battery, so the actual depends on the mix of recording vs. playback which you actually do. My guess is that most users will get an actual total probably closer to 1 hour or less per full charge.

Battery life has not been a problem. EVery once in a while we need to remove a battery, let it rest for a few minutes and then replace it. Otherwise, no problem.

Well, essentially you get everything in the product description but what I found really good was that you get a spare battery with it. In terms of battery life I honestly don't know because I charge it as soon as I get home but atleast I know it won't suddenly shut down on me during the course of the day.I hope this was helpful.

I've had it for about two years now, and the battery life on it is about two hours, give or take. It's definitely better than the one I replaced, though. I'm still a little disappointed that I have to practically keep my laptop plugged in just to be able to use it for longer periods. Hope this helps!

Battery life is good, we charge it every couple of weeks now. Once you get past the first training phase it lasts a lot longer. Also depends on if you use the light. I can't complain.

No actually the battery life is pretty good. When it's fully charged I would use it for about 3-4 hours

I really think the battery is ok, i have bought two of this laptop and if you are using it continuosly the battery life is approx 10hrs.

I'm not totally certain about the battery life. I left mine on using it here and there through the day and it well into the evening before I had to plug it in again. I also know that I left in sleep mode for over a week and it still had about 70% battery left it. It impressed me how long it would hold its battery power

Unfortunately, I bought it for my son who left for college. I have no first hand experience on the battery life.

Sorry took so long to answer...battery life is maybe three days- I have to charge up every other day to make sure it doesn't die on me.

How many hours did you get with the original battery with same type of usage?I got more than two days with light usage.

I haven't actually timed it, but I've been able to use it quite a bit without recharging. I use quite a lot on Sundays and for hours at a time on other days of the week. Takes several days before I have to recharge. I have been impressed with the battery life.

I didn't notice a difference in battery life. It is nice that the one that I bought came with 2 extra batteries, for a total of 3 that as long as I remembered to keep charged I had no problem going to school all day. I would go through one and a half during a typical day. Busier days I could easily go thru 2 and be on yellow for the third. hope this helps :-)

I haven't been unhappy with the battery life. Perhaps normal usage depends on the person. I play games, watch a couple movies, once in a while check things out online. I charge mine up about once a week just to keep it ready, but I do not use it every day. For the wi-fi, I have to be home, so I download games or movies to watch when away.

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'm not sure what the battery life is. I got mine last year and used it the entire season and had no issues. I just powered it up now to answer your question and mine still works great.

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.
