Depends on which datasheet you read and what you consider
"heavy use". You can expect a couple of hundreds of full
discharge cycles. Sony for example claims 800 for some brands.
Of course, how often you charge depends on what you are doing
with the Newton, so the "how long" question can't really be answered.
Also, batteries don't drop dead after their specified number of discharge
cycles, they just get worse over time.
