I charge my phone over night. When I'm at work I keep it plugged into my computer all day. On the weekends I only charge it once at night because I don't use it much.
I don't have a tablet and my laptop is always plugged in.

My phone is fairly new so lasts all day now despite heavy usage but I used to have to charge mine pretty much all day.
Laptop battery is on its last legs so won't hold a charge and has to be plugged in most of the time...rendering the whole portable concept a bit pointless  |

Mine is on charge all night and at work during the day it's plugged into my computer. At the weekend if I'm home it's plugged in by the side of my giant armchair. If I'm out it's plugged in to the charger in the car. Addicted much?
I can't remember when I last plugged my laptop in, I generally only use it when I've been out with my camera.
My iPad is in my camera bag, most likely with a flat battery.  |

Aaaarrrrrrhhhhhhhh 
This is one of my pet hates. Keeping your laptop plugged in is so very bad for the battery, the number of people who bring me their laptops because the battery life is poor, and it's all because they keep them plugged in.
It's so much better to run it on the battery until it complains it's "almost dead" then switch it to mains power.

My galaxy S5 has been bullet proof so far. Lasts all day and put it on charge just before bed. If I'm on the Web continuously though, like yesterday it needed charging at least 3 times lol |

I charge phone overnight then again at work for a while, iPad lasts a few days, laptop knackered so won't work unless plugged in!
The battery on my phone is knackered though, every so often it just jumps down to 20%. I have a power pack in my handbag but the wire doesn't work.
I really panic about the thought of breaking down and having no battery to call someone! |

I charge my Samsung for an hour or two during the day, & try to avoid using it whilst it's charging.
I used to charge all night but was told it prefers a trickle charge.
I switch it off at night.
My tablet I charge as and when so maybe a few hours a week, again day time
My laptop I put on charge at 22% but the vaio has had a new battery and 2 new charger leads

Depends on usage. Some days I don't need to charge it, other days, several times. Battery doctor extends battery life significantly by removing background running apps when you remember to, and switching off data when driving and/or in low signal areas works |

I've used my phone for a total of about 30 minutes since I took it off charge (at 100%) this morning (I use the term morning loosely). It's on power save mode. It's now on 24%
However, I have my hotspot thing on and in use so that drains the battery too.
Now 23%
So yeah it's going on charge again shortly. |

My battery had to be removed because it was so dead it was draining power lol. It was however 5 years old, and had received much pummelling over the years |
