From your experiences, how is the battery life? Also if left idle for a long time, does it seem to drain batteries?

Battery life is about three hours on constantly . I know this because I used it this long while recently tracking a deer in the rain

Always keep in my jacket pocket and batteries have lasted 6 months so far with no loss of brightness. Never use it for more than 10-15 minutes.

I purchased the light 3 months ago. The original batteries I put in are still in it. I use it on a sporadic basis. The light is still as bright as it was when I put the batteries in. I have not noticed any drain.

I have had good experience with the battery.... It lasts me a week or more and I use it about an hour or more per day during my daily walk. Regarding the 'choppy' audio... Initially I noticed a little of that, but moved my iPhone (source of the music I was listening to) to a different pocket and it resolved that issue. Sometimes there is a little "blip" when you are walking rapidly, but has not been bothersome to me.

I just recently bought my 2nd one for another computer because my first one is just that great! I've had it for about 9 months & I've only replaced the batteries once. I have both at work & are always on the "on" position. If you're thinking of buying one, the battery life should not be an issue! Good luck!

I got it mid summer 2014 It had 10 hrs of battery. Since I'm an engineering student I never turn off my laptop and I'm always pushing it to its limits. It's lasted without any problems and still has 10 hrs(w/o internet of course). With internet it has about 8hrs. It's lasted 3/4 of the year with no decrease in performace

The battery life is great. I use it everyday while getting ready (30 min.) and even when I leave it on for the day I only have to charge it once a month. The light on the bottom turns a different color when it needs to be charged but I usually dont plug it in until its so dead it doesn't work and you can still use it while charging.

Hello Laura,I primarily use it at work and have it on all day (7-8 hours). The battery life seems to be good...generally lasts all week. Hope this info helps :)Marsha

The battery life has been good for me. I bought the camera right before vacation and took many pictures over the course of a week. I believe I recharged the battery daily but the battery never died. I just wanted a full battery for each day since I was taking so many pictures. However, I've only used the camera sporadically since so I'm not sure how the battery life would be now if I was using it as much as I was when I first bought it.

That's a good question!! It's kind of new and I moved to my new mac in a month or so. I didn't had chance to play a lot with it. But to be honest for the time I have used it I have never felt any concerns with battery . In worst case 5-6 hours at least and more depending on the settings you use.

The battery life is pretty decent. You can probably get about 2 hours or more depending on if it is heavy use or light. The battery once it is completely discharged takes about 3 hours. Youll know it is fully charged because the blue light will show a full glow instead of just half. The battery has a built in feature to keep it from overcharging so you can leave it on the charging base when not in use. I love it because it is powerful enough to get a good clean without all the cords.

I have had mine in use for several months with no issues. It is off all the time when not in use so I am not sure what would drain the battery. A friend of mine has one going on three years old and has never mentioned issues with any part of it. One of the reasons I bought this one.

Battery life is very solid. I work 8-12 hr days with it and I would estimate batteries require replacing roughly every month to month and a half. I would note that I tend to leave it on all the time and it goes to sleep when not in use. You only need to click to wake it back up again. Am pleased with battery life (I find re-chargeable batteries are a good investment).

Very good. The longest I've had it uncharged was about over 10hrs talking and it was at 20% by then. But I did buy a refurbished phone with a new battery and I used low light settings to conserve energy. So take that into account as well....

The battery life is very good. I was surprised that I can sit at my kitchen table for 3 hours and the battery goes down to about 65%. Now that is very good for this laptop. I think you will enjoy the power that this puts out. Have a great time with it.

For me batteries last about 2 weeks (sucks them dry very quickly). This is the type of mouse you really need to turn off after using it, something I always forget to do. I don't think it has a sleep mode, the bluetrack light is always on, even after hours of being idle, this probably contributes to the short battery life. If it wasn't for the battery life, this mouse would be very good. For now, i'm stuck changing the batteries out constantly, give the logitech touch mouse a look!

I like to use the brightness at full and with the Wi-Fi on, if I browse, email, etc, I think it lasts me around 3-4 hours. The battery life isn't too impressive on this laptop..

I haven't had any issues. I have left it on the charger for a few days and I have not seen a difference in battery life.

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!
