The details say this has a 4 hour battery life in one place, an 8 hour life in another, and 12 hours in another (for wired). How long does it last?

It lasts for 4 hours in case the volume is not to the max and at least 2 hours with the volume max.

It just depends on how loud you have it. I sometimes make it two 8 hours shifts before I have to charge mine!

I pretty sure it's at least 8 hours. I use mine for the better part of my 12 shift at work and if it ever dies, it's right before I leave work. I'm sure volume level has s major part in this.

I'd say mine lasts just under 3 hours at the lowest power levels. The battery is easy to remove, so you can always buy a second battery to double your life.

The literature indicates up to 7 hours. I havn't used it for that long so I can't confirm this. I did use it for several hours after charging it for the first time and it still had enough power for a few hours more use a few weeks later before I needed to charge it again.

It seems to last about 4-5 hours.. We typically use it for bedtime music for the kids and plug it in an external battery

Its no more than 4.5 hrs. I looked at the customers reviews before I buy it so I knew the battery life had not the best average. But Im still very happy with my purchase, its a great laptop.

~4 hours of moderate use. Probably closer to 6 if one were just typing with other apps closed and wifi and bluetooth turned off.

I was wondering too. It says it will go 10 days on a charge but I would question that as well. I have a wireless Logitech mouse, which I love by the way, that says it's battery life is up to 18 months and I'm lucky to get a month out of it. From reading the reviews, when in battery mode , the keys do not stay illuminated and you have to press something to light them up again. I love the fact you can have a choice of wired or not. The battery can also be replaced if need be according to the rep. I have a Logitech keyboard as well that I have had since Windows 95 and it works as well today as it did then. I do have a cover on it so that may be a big part of that reason. I was wondering too. It says it will go 10 days on a charge but I would question that as well.

It depends on your performance settings and what you're doing on the laptop. I use mine with high performance and generally use light programs (MS Office) and web browsing and it generally lasts about 2-4 hours depending. The life of the battery can extend quite beyond that I believe by turning off features and downgrading performance, but I have not really explored those features fully.

Can't say exactly, but around 8 hours. Usually plug it in the night before we use it.

The most I have had battery life is a little over 2 hrs. If you charge it and don't use it right away it will die. But honestly for the money its a good price. Hope this helps.

10 to 15 hours, depending on (moderate) usage. On sleep mode with Wi Fi on, it can last 50 hours or more.

I am not sure of exactly how long but it seems to be about 2 hours or so. I have actually never timed it. This is an older laptop my kids use for games so that might be why the battery doesn't seem to last very long. Hope this helps! :)

Mine lasts about 7~8 hours for regular use when I use the Quite Office Setting.I know it's still better than any other laptops as to battery life.

Battery is supposed to last about 8 hours but can vary depending on volume, etc. I haven't really pushed it that far to see if it will last that long.

The battery on mine can last for about 2 hours with Wi-Fi turned on. There are three different USB slots (one on the side, two in the back).

Wow thats crazy, my daughter uses hers for 6 to 7 hours straight, on netflix,youtube,games or apps. She doesnt put it down, she does EVERYTHING on it and only has to fully charge it at night before going to bed, that takes a couple hours though, at least 2 but not sure. If yours is only good for 3 hours thats a big problem , thats not even half of how long its supossed to go, usually when a product says the battery lasts a certain amount its usually not even close to that but I was very surprised when ours actually lasted the 7 hours it promised, and Im telling you its on streaming videos and movies for the hole 7 hours and it has never shut down,the lowest it got was 8% and than it took hours to fully charge it again.

I don't really know since I never measured it but I know that it's certainly longer than 5 hours. I normally plug it in the morning and leave for work or plug it in the evening and it's ready in the morning.
