“How long does a Lenovo battery last?” can mean runtime per charge (hours) or overall lifespan (years/cycles). Lenovo ThinkPads, IdeaPads, Yogas, and Legions vary a lot because battery size (Wh) and power use vary.
Typical runtime per charge (everyday use)
- ThinkPad / Yoga (light productivity): often 6–12 hours (model/settings dependent)
- IdeaPad (general use): often 5–10 hours
- Legion / gaming: often 1–3 hours in gaming, longer for light tasks
Typical lifespan (years)
Most laptop batteries last about 2–5 years depending on heat, charging habits, and workload. Heat and heavy load accelerate wear.
Lenovo-specific note: charging limits
If your Lenovo stops at ~60–80%, check Lenovo Vantage for battery conservation/charging threshold. This is a feature, not a failure.
Check your real battery health
powercfg /batteryreportLook for big gaps between Design Capacity and Full Charge Capacity. If the gap is large and daily runtime is no longer acceptable, replacement is the practical fix.
