e750 Battery Life with WiFi

[CorysWorld]

I am thinking about getting a 750 because of the built-in WiFi. How long can you use the 750 with the standard battery while you are using wireless. I am not looking to constantly use the wireless and browse the web. I would like to check e-mail and other stuff through out the day and not have the device die on me,

Thanks

I've got an e740, and with the standard battery, I am able to get about 90 minutes of continuous use with wifi (with the frontlight set to the second highest level) before I receive low battery warnings.

It's not the e750, so use this for what it's worth.

I have an E755 (same hardware as the E750) and I get about 100 mins.

Thanks,

Battery life is pretty good as well. Playing MP3s with the backlight at 75 percent, the Toshiba pumped out tunes for 3 hours, 55 minutes before the battery ran too low to play music. However, there was 14 percent of a charge left in the battery, and the unit still ran for another 45 minutes after the music ended. However, don't expect such longevity while your Wi-Fi is on.

Hi, I have a E755 with high-capacity battery running a 1GB IBM Microdrive, and with wi-fi off it lasts for an extremely long time... I've never come close to running out of battery (I charge it every night)... I'd estimate that you can continuously listen to MP3s for over 10 hours (perhaps much longer). I've never used a regular battery, but I definitely recommend the high-capacity battery... it makes your PDA thicker, but not having to worry about battery problems is definitely a +. Wi-fi does suck up a lot more power... I've only used wi-fi once, and I estimate that with high-capacity battery you can last for about 4-5 hours. As long as you put ur PDA in its cradle every night, you'll never run out of juice with the high-capacity battery.
