    Mine lasted almost 4 hours when new. Lately its been lasting say 2 hours and then for the past month or so, around an hour and last few days around 30 minutes. I rely on my battery and take good care of it so will have to replace it but they are so damn expensive and i won't be buying a repo one as they are a waste of money

    Have you tried dimming your screen right down? Mine used to eat power because it was too bright.

    It auto dims when you remove the charger. I do use it quite heavily though it's not surprising plus it's almost 2 years old now so has done well i suppose
