How long will my laptop battery run?

The average battery life for most laptops is 2 hours to 5 hours.

The type of laptop, the applications being used, and the size and brightness of the screen will all contribute to run time. Dimming your screen and reducing the number of applications running can offer more battery life. Also, most laptops have a power management control panel where the user can adjust the power settings while the laptop is running on battery.

If your battery only lasts for a few minutes, it might be time for a new battery.

If your computer doesn't turn on at all, even when plugged-in, you may need a new laptop power charger.
