The Asus E410 laptop does have a removable battery. This offers users the freedom to replace an old or dying battery, and can also be used as a backup in case of emergencies. The charging time for the battery is relatively fast, typically taking between 2-4 hours depending on usage. Once fully charged, the battery life is reported to last up to 8 hours with regular use such as web browsing, streaming videos, and working on documents. It should be noted that intense activities such as gaming may reduce this number significantly.
