Charging & battery life

[jmccoy555]

Hi,
I'm just about to take the plunge on one of these. What kind of battery life are you getting, generally and also say watching films?

Also, does it charge via the usb?

Thanks.

Im getting around 7 hrs on mine most of the time, last night watched Dawn of the Dead on it from fully charged and was at around 85% when it was over so can probably squeeze in 4 movies or so. And sadly no doesnt charge via usb just from power connector/dock.

Battery life is comparable but lower then most other tablets.

I'd say it's on par with Xoom... maybe a little worse.

Mine has been on for 1 day, 10 hours, and 34 minutes so far since last charge... but this is with the unstable wifi policy.. I have it set to never switch off, however it just randomly connects and disconnects when the screen is locked.

Battery life is fine especially considering the smaller battery. I do wish they put a regular sized battery in there and gave it a few extra hours of juice. This device is also so light (well balanced) that I wouldnt have even cared about the extra weight.
