I have bought my laptop for about a year. And now I found its battery lasts about 2 hours and it is not enough for me. Therefore, I have to charge it all the time. I hope the laptop battery will improve and this will be the big development.

Mine is 2 hours. But its a powerhouse so I'm not surprised at it. I think there are a few that claim 4.5 hour batteries but it also depends on usage and settings.

Hi, youless. I think that this battery on this laptop has a lifetime of 2 to 3 hours before it needs charging up when it is not plugged into the socket.

Hi Youless, My laptop is Toshiba and they said that it will last 55 minutes but when used I noticed that it is just 30-45 mins. which is somehow manageable to wrap up works. I am planning to buy an Apple Macbook and hope that will help me work more and of course the battery lasts more compare to my recent one. By the way, I have neve faced any problems yet with my computer but still planning to buy Macbook.. Thanks,.

55 minutes seems to be so short time.

My current laptop battery lasts for around 2 hours. But the previous one i had was lasting for around 20 minutes. Fed up with it I searched for a spare battery and replaced the DVD slot with additional battery.Then onwards I used to get 3.5 hours of battery life. A small sacrifice of CD/DVD reading capability against battery which is negligible as the Internet is vast enough to mask it. Comming to battery life its like a inverted U sigma curve. Initially the new battery will not give much performance. But when you keep charging the performance increases and reaches to a pike. Over a period of time the performance decreases gradually which is expected.

my battery lasts about 4:30 when i'm optimizing just surfing the web with the brightness turned pretty lows so i love my mac book. Also make sure you drain it all the way, ALL THE WAY. Then plug it up untill it's charged fully it's called calibrating your battery so you may want to look into that.

It seems keeping the laptop plugged in all the time is not good for its battery.

I used to have a laptop. At first the battery lasts for 5 hours, then it slowly went down to 3 hours and then 1 hour. At the end I had to charge it all the time, which annoys me completely. These days, I am thinking of getting a laptop as a supplement to my desktop but I am still struggling.

i used to have like a 3-4hr battery life. after 2 yrs, i still have about a 2hr battery life. i have a dell and i know that my battery life depends on my settings. but at highest settings (like it's plugged in), i still get about 2 hrs, maybe a little less. i prolly wont buy a new battery mainly because i'll get a better laptop before i'll need a new battery.

I have only one battery. So sometimes it's not enough.
