I don't use mine on battery power much, but I've gotten up to 2 hours on an old battery that is, admittedly, not in the best of conditions playing games, typing, messing around with various programs. In other owrds, just keeping the processor going to see how long it will last. A new battery should keep you going up to 4 hours, if you are set up for battery conservation, probably over 2 at least.
