HoloLens Battery Holds 2.5-5.5 Hour Charge
At a conference in Tel Aviv, Harris mentioned that the battery life of HoloLens will be 5.5 hours maximum, with a 2.5 hour minimum after “intensive use.” The HoloLens, which is a completely wireless device, supports both WiFi and Bluetooth to connect to Windows 10 devices.
Additionally, the display field of view is equivalent of a 15-inch monitor 1 or 2-feet away from the face. While they have tested to make the field of view larger, it would require the cost to be multiplied by five and the battery life of intensive use to be shortened to 20 minutes.
With all of that said, Harris made a note that all of these will likely change for the better as the manufacturing costs decrease. While there is no indication on when HoloLens will be making it to market, development kit applications have already been sent out with a steep price of $3,000.

Scott About the same battery life an an iPhone
No. The average iPhone lasts the equivalent of 2,300+ mAh lithium ion battery (what iPhones use.)
This devices battery life is sorry to say the least.

UZl This would be great for everyone. Hate those moments when your battery just runs out and your looking for batteries throughout the house finding that there is non left.
Yeah it's even worse when you're playing FIFA and the opponent runs up and scores

ProPotionPint Very pricey however is much cooler than an Oculus Rift
Keep in mind the $3000 price tag is only for development units.
Yeah the price is obviously going to drop because at that price no one will be buying it.
To be honest I can see people buying it, but I do agree with the price dropping, just like everything else drops.
