I usually use a tablet for more than 3 hours. But recharging every 4 days sounds pretty good.

It used to drain by about 15% in 20 minutes or so, I would be using it to browse the web and I'd have only 3 apps running. And then it takes about 7 hours to fully charge. So yes, very poor battery life.

That's great. Thanks for the info!
