    Battery Life
    The lithium polymer battery is integrated in the chassis and features a capacity of 70 Wh. Combined with the acceptable power consumption, the notebook posts decent run times on battery.

    During the Battery Eater Readers Test (all wireless modules off, display brightness turned down all the way, power saver profile), the notebook lasted right around 8 hours. Compared to the MacBook (95 Wh battery, optimized OS X operating system, and extremely low minimum display brightness), which achieved 18 hours, this seems to be quite low - but this test is not really that relevant during daily use.

    The more realistic WLAN surf-test (brightness set to 150 cd/m², power saver profile) required us to plug the Zenbook back in after 5 hours and 17 minutes. The two notebooks are almost even in this test - Apple's MacBook lasted about 6 hours.

    Finally, we ran the Battery Eaters Classic Test (all wireless modules on, display at maximum brightness, performance profile). This time, the notebook lasted 1 hour and 15 minutes before a recharge was required (a complete charge takes about 3 hours).

    7.While most laptop batteries today are Lithium Ion batteries, that does not mean all, as there are NiCad/Nickel Cadmium and NiMAH/Nickel Metal Hydride batteries, both having the memory effect. You will usually find these batteries in older laptops, low budget laptops, or small corporation laptops.
