To complete our testing, we ran Battery Eater Pro to get a feel for the T135D's battery performance. Toshiba claims you can get 6 hours of battery life from the included 6 cell Lithium Ion battery pack (as measured by the MobileMark Productivity 2007 benchmark).

Battery Info & Performance

Here at HotHardware, we've been using BatteryEater Pro's Real World Scenario to test battery life in various machines, which is much more strenuous than MM07. During the test, the screen brightness was set to 60%, Wi-Fi was enabled, and all other applications were closed.

Like other systems, the T135D didn't live up to the lofty claims made by the manufacturer. Under our test conditions, the T135D's included 6 cell battery lasted for two hours and four minutes. In looking at the graph above, you can see that the Toshiba T135D didn't offer nearly as long of a battery life as many of our test systems including the Intel-based Toshiba T135.
