How long do batteries last after full charge on Equium A200?

Hi
Just bought an Equium A200, and charged it for around eight hours, when I start up the battery life doesnt seem very long to me. Is says about 1hr 12 mins of life left. Doesnt seem like very long after an eight hour charge.
Is it normal to only get just over an hour of use time on laptop after fully charged? Never had one before. Appreciate any input.
Thanks

Hi guys
The battery life time depends on the notebook usage! So its not easy to say how long the notebook should run on battery power. But I think the 1hour 30min is a realistic period.
However, if you want to run the notebook for a longer period then you could buy a stronger battery which provides more power for a longer time
You should take a look at the mA value; the higher the better ;)
Furthermore please dont forget that the installed Vista OS needs more power as a early OS like XP.
The Vista needs more power because it wastes more computer resources.
I read that an same notebook would run 2 times longer on battery power with preinstalled W2K or XP.

  • How long do batteries last?

    I can get a used G3 iBook battery for like $15. He said that he used it up until about 4 months ago and that at that time it could power the laptop for 3-4 hours. For the last four months it has been sitting on the shelf.
    So, could it die from sitting on the shelf for four months or should it still hold a good charge assuming that it held a good charge four months ago (3-4 hours)?
    This would be a nice backup battery for really cheap.

    Sometimes they do sharply fall off.
    It does matter how old they are. The Washington Post reports that the typical lifespan of a lithium-ion battery is two to three years, whether it is used or not. Some may last a bit longer; some not quite as long as that.
    It depends on how much the $15 means to you. It's not a big gamble compared to the price of a new one, although a replacement can be had for less than what Apple sells them for.
    Assuming yours is the 12-inch model:

    The battery for the G4 12-inch iBook works in the 12-inch G3 Dual USB iBook, too.

  • How long should batteries last on PB 17 1.67  (1st edition not HD)

    Hi,
    I just bought this PB 17 refurbished. The Battery says 2 hours left when at 98%. Does this seem right? I expected to get 4 hrs out of it.
    Thx,
    Dan

    was the battery refurbished? while the optimum amt of time on a battery is 4 hours often ppl only get 2 hours out of them...as long as its not draining extra fast, thats normal....if the battery wasnt refurbished then thats definitely normal...other than that u may want to contact wherever you bought it to find out this info...if it was online apple store, then call and ask to speak to sale ssupport at apple and they can discuss this with u

  • How many hours does a brand new battery last after fully charged. I have a late 2008 Macbook Pro.

    How many hours does a brand new battery last after fully charged. I have a late 2008 Macbook Pro.

    clintonfrombirmingham is right, there is no way to exactly tell. But from personal experience, a new battery on a 2008 will last for about 2 1/2 hours with a higher screen brightness and doing something taxing to the battery (like gaming or running lots of 3D programs). But if you're just listening to music with the brightness all the way down, and no programs running, you could get up to 12 hours. So for average use, it should last you a whole business day (assuming you don't use it more than 30% 0f the time). Hope this kind of gives you more of an idea of what to expect:)

    What have you tried so far in terms of troubleshooting this issue?  Are you plugging the iPod into a high powered USB 2.0 port on the back of your PC? Have you tried a different USB cable?

  • Satellites L650D: how long do i leave it on charge for the first time?

    just recently bought this computer Toshiba Satellite series L650D and was wondering how long do i leave it on charge for the first time on power????
    Please help

    Hello
    If the battery is fully charged, the battery LED will switch the color. Depending on your notebook it will switch from orange to white for example. After this the battery is fully charged.
    The charging time is also depending on the battery, AC/DC adaptor and if the notebook is truned on or off. So nobody can exactly say how long it takes but the battery LED will it show you. :)

    When your iphone is at 20% battery remaining, how long does it take to charge?
    When your iphone is at 50% battery remaining, how long does it take to charge?
    (Assuming that you charge the phone when the phone is off using the Apple USB cable or dock through a wall power outlet)

    Usually 1 1/2 Hours tops.

    Around the Same
    When your iphone is at 50% battery remaining, how long does it take to charge?
    Thirty Minutes.
    I think if it is taking you 6 to 7 hours then something is wrong here. Either the battery is flawed, the cable or dock is flawed, or something is wrong with the outlet. It should not take that long.

  • HT201401 My iPhone 4S with iOS 6 is draining battery in large chunks and after full charge drops to 1% within 15 mins why

    I am so frustrated right now as I have to have my iPhone constantly on charge.  After full charge it can drop from 100% to 1% in 15 minutes even when not it use.  It often die whilst displaying 35% and will only come back on after charging which shows it in red zone empty needing charge.  The red battery pic can remain for over an hour before it regains any life!
    Any suggestions done all the usual
    Reset
    Removed email accounts
    Killed off open apps
    Turned off battery draining things like Siri etc
    Phone is 1 year old
    Help as I can't afford a new one and need this for business too

    My observation are:
    Pros:
    4. Notificaion now use any address while position is used, not only address book.
    5. Great DND mode with auto swithcing.
    6. MUCH more faster Safari work.
    7. Great and funny way to reload messages in mailbox.
    8. Separate footer for each mailbox -GREAT!
    Cons:
    1. WiFi - works as it was.
    2. Apple map. I think it's good that google went out. Apple will develope own service and it will be better. For the moment I found Apple map less usefull, but it knows the way between Russia and Finland when Google doesn't.
    3. No overheat observed... Today I was thinking that iPhone became hot, but it was on sunsine...
    4. As it was 100% at evening - 100% at morning so it is now the same. While usage also the same.
    5. Yes, I'm also don't know what is this for..
    6. So what? I don't care.
    7. Appstore became MUCH better!

  • How long does it last

    I have a 2008 Mac Pro that i bought when it came out and it is still in perfect condition. It has 8 cores, 8gb ram, 8800gt video card 3tb hd. at the end of this year it will be three years old. I use it for final cut pro and other things. about how long will it last
    -it is in perfect condition
    -has a very stable power supply
    -never had one problem yet
    -still edits blue ray video stable
    should i upgrade this year or next
    thanks

    I am still answering queries about Macs discontinued before the turn of the century. The Hardware will last a good long time. You may have to replace a memory module ( FBDIMMs run Hot) or a Hard drive along the way.
    The software you are running today will do the jobs you do today, using your current workflow, for decades.
    Whether your needs will expand beyond the capabilities of that particular computer remains to be seen. And whether new "must have" killer Apps will come along and make your Mac seem slow, or lacking in some other way, no one knows for sure.
    \[But that is what happened to most pre-1999 Macs. You can't give them away. Folks don't want them because they can't run the latest Web Browsers or play YouTube Videos].
