HI, can anyone tell me what the typical battery life is in a refurbished Dell laptop is from the Dell website? They don't seem to list that information. Thanks

Hi
Do you mean Hours per Day, or Years of Warranty?
Either way I would factor in the cost of a new one.

The average battery lifespan is 2-3 years so use the model you're considering as a guide. If the model/system is a year old, it likely has about 2/3 of its life left. That said, the system model comes into the picture as well -- business models stress the battery less than gaming models do. And low-end consumer grade models generally have shorter-lived batteries.
As suggested by the the other reply, set aside funds for a battery replacement for anything over a year old when you purchase it.
