10 Tablets with the Longest Battery Life
Apple iPad Mini
Despite its name, there's nothing "mini" about the iPad mini's battery life. When we ran the iPad's smaller cousin through the LAPTOP Battery Test, it lasted 10 hours and 33 minutes, only 2 hours less than the 4th-generation iPad and more than 3 hours longer than such competing 7-inch tablets as the Google Nexus 7 and the Kindle Fire HD.
The LTE model lasts almost as long, with a battery life of 8 hours and 16 minutes on our battery test. Stick the iPad mini in your coat pocket on your next trans-Atlantic flight, and it'll get you from New York to London with juice to spare for the cab ride to your hotel.

The Galaxy Tab 7.7 is a glaring omission…I believe either the international or Verizon version was averaging 10-11 hours of battery life.

That any of these do not have 20 hour battery life for 5 dollars extra extra built in is ridiculous you can put in 3 batteries like high capacity camera batteries each lasting 8 hours cost was 2.00 a battery triple or quade system should be standard 14 to 20 hour system I worked in electronics over 20 years

Notice how ASUS was completely left out of this. Some of their tablets go for even longer than the iPad.

Why didn’t they include the Asus Padfone?
Afterall, it CAN be a tablet and has up to 63 hours of battery life.
