Abstract
The measurement of the average lifetime of B hadrons using inclusively reconstructed secondary vertices has been updated using both an impro ved processing of previous data and additional statistics from new dat a. This has reduced the statistical and systematic uncertainties and g ives tau(B) = 1.582+/-0.011 (stat.)+/-0.027 (syst.) ps. Combining this result with the previous result based on charged particle impact para meter distributions yields tau(B) = 1.575+/-0.010 (stat.)+/-0.026 (sys t.) ps.
