Battery life? How long does the built-in battery last? And how much does it cost to replace once it dies?

The built-in battery should last a couple years, like most lithium-ion batteries. A replacement battery from Sandisk costs $20 MSRP, and you can easily replace the battery yourself, all you have to do is unscrew the 4 screws on the back and switch the batteries.

The battery is great. I charge it about once a week (at night) and it lasts all week for me. I use it daily on the bus to school, back and various other times in the day

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!

Do not leave it plugged in! I did and my battery is now dead. It turns out to be VERY expensive to change the battery b/c you must send it back to the manufacturer to do so. There are some good tips here on preserving the battery life that I really wish I had known beforehand. I'm currently trying to decide if it is worthwhile to replace the battery or not.http://1866uselady.com/show.php/en/online_store_2

Its a pretty long time. I charge it occasionally, but it has never died on me while I was using it.

Mine dies completely within a week. Or did, that is...I tossed it. For a casual user my regular battery lasts for weeks so I don't need a backup.

I can't say over the long-term, but I have had mine for three months, I use it everyday for hours at a time, and I have not yet had to replace the battery.

I've never had mine die on me but I've taken it for a six hour trip and it had about 25% battery power afterwards so I'd guess maybe about eight hours in total.

Battery life is short. I think Gps is a big drain on it. But a spare can be purchase at a cheap price from a off brand distributor.

It's rechargeable so you can plug it in when it's dying. My battery lasts 3 hours at the most. It might be a defective one, or that might be normal. I am not sure about that at this point.

I have not had to replace the battery yet. I use it about 30-40 minutes 3-4 times per week. I have had it for about 7-8 to months. I have no complaint on that issue.

We regret to inform you the battery can not be replaced. Battery life will vary according to the frequency and length of use. If the battery is charged once every 2 weeks, the service life will be approximately 3 years.

I'm not sure about the battery life. But I haven't changed battery yet since I bought mine. Just be sure to turn it off after you use it.

Yes, to both questions. Plus the battery last a long time after charging. One problem. When the battery goes bad, you throw it away. No way to replace it from what others have told us.

Still didn't have to repair or replace parts so I don't know. Considering that I have been using mine since October 2013 with no problems, I think buying a new one if it breaks would not be such a big issue considering the price of $74,18. I think placing it properly and checking the batteries after a couple of months for corrosion will help it last.

It actually has it's own built in battery. It lasts about 5-6 hours, which isn't too shabby.

Im not sure how long the battery will last because mine is not completely dead yet. It comes with an usb port, so you can charge it.My husband use it once in a while and its still works fine. It can be used as a toy, but maybe not for a kid with less than 8 years old because its a little bit fragil. Some parts are metalic and others plastic.
