That sounds very wrong... When playing local content in offline mode, I'm getting 4+ hours on my N810, not on brightest screen, though (but with speakers).

Or maybe my original battery was faulty or not very "fresh" (lithium batteries age badly even when not used).
Now I'm using cheap hong-kong batteries and they last more or less the same than the original battery (when it was new, now it's almost useless).

Besides the n810 is more power efficient than the n800 (or so they say).

On my trip from the US to Berlin last year, I watched two full-length movies, played games, read a little, and wrote this blog post. The battery was coughing during the last paragraph of the blog post, but I was able to do it.

Same amazing battery life here.
Luca, Snoshrk, your machines (hardware or software) have something wrong. Even if streaming uses logically much more power thant reading from SD card, you should'nt get so poor results !
As usual in this case try :
0/ charge fully your battery
1/ deactivate ALL your applets/taskbar applets
2/ go to in flight mode
3/ close ALL your running programs
4/ play a long video from your SD card
How long does it play now ?

Note that I always had lousy time with no applets at all, that's why now I have the clock and omweather (it doesn't make a difference).
Since the tablet doesn't tell me what is actually using the battery, trying pinpoint the cause (I suspect the swap on the sd card and the lousy access point) it's not worth it for me, since I have a couple of cheap spare batteries: when the first one is over I put in the second one.

Doh! 
I had forgotten that I had been trying to glom onto a free wifi access point at extreme range before giving up and deciding to watch a movie (wife was shopping....craft store.....testosterone free zone....)
Thx

All times are GMT. The time now is 06:32.
What kind of life are people getting from their batteries while watching videos? N800
I tried watching yesterday and hit the dreaded red battery after ~30 min ( on headphones and screen @ brightest setting)
Thanks
