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.

PotionPint 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.

I honestly kind of think it's important that the battery life on these things don't ever extend much longer than 6 hours. I feel that between the person having to stand, the distance between the person's eyes and the screens, plus how sucked and enthralled people can get into the games, that it could be potentially damaging to play for too long. I mean we already have people dying from sitting still to long while playing modern day consoles/PCs, I don't think that we should necessarily trust the idea of 10 hour batteries with these devices. I can already see people dropping from exhaustion and lack of nutrition from playing the game for hours on end. At best I can see people's eyes being damaged from being so close to the screen for so long.

I feel it will be a long time until they are fully announced. It is a new technology so I wouldn't be surprised.

It seems that many companies are trying to develop things along these lines
