Hi John, if you take video, it will last for 2 to 4 hours, you can buy a spare battery at the same time. Feng Te

The battery should last about 3 hours, That is if you don't keep it on for long periods at a time. I film about 15 min at a time and get right at 3 hours out of it.

the camera will record while charging. I've used it to make a timelapse for several hours, recording (well taking pictures every 5 seconds) with the adapter plugged in, as the camera only has an autonomy of about two hours. The battery is internal and cannot be removed or replaced.

I haven't used the camera much. I bought it for others to use, so I'm not an expert. But from what I've seen, my guess is that it will take a couple of hours of video. If the charge life is a concern, I suggest getting a second battery.

The battery charges up fairly quickly. Probably from totally dead to fully charged in about 1 hour or so. Once charged, depending on the use (i.e. video, pictures, combination of both, viewing pics, etc), I went a full day without any issues. Safer to top it off at night so you'll not have to worry about it.

Have used it for mostly video and the charge would last several days. Didn't have any problems with battery.

I have taken 300+ pictures mixed with a few videos on a fully charged battery. It will also hold a charge for a long time when not in use.

I charge mine with the USB adaptor supplied attached to my laptop computer. It took a couple of hours to initially charge the battery. I used the camera for 30 minutes worth of filming time, on for a couple of minutes, then off for a trip in snowy weather. When I got home I charged it on my laptop and it took about 45 minutes to an hour until the charged blinking light went out.

The battery life is good. I have used it to take videos as well as pictures and the battery lasts. The only time I have charged it is when I plug it in to transfer pics to my computer. Otherwise I can get 2 to 3 days of using it a lot and the battery life is great.

The battery last about 2.5-3 hours per charge. It uses an internal, rechargeable battery that's recharged with the provided cable through your USB port or charger. I'm very happy with this camera. I used it this past January on a 100 mile snowmobile trip thru the woods and frozen lakes. I just had it clipped to the outside of my parka without its protective case hoping that it would work. At times I was doing over 80 mph. It worked beautifully and caught video for me that was unbelievable. Obviously, you won't get video or audio that's comparable to a high end video/camera, but it does a great job for the incredibly low price. Add to the fact you get everything you need with it and you can't go wrong. It's a great product for its price! Regards, Joe

The battery usually lasts me about an hour filming in 3d mode, and when I bought my camera, amazon sold generic replacement batteries and a charger for fairly cheap..under 15 dollars for a charger and two batteries at that time, if I remember correctly. Hope this helps :)

so far for last couple of months that looks like the battery hold a full charge on video and music to last up to 5 to 6 hours. it's less than 4 months old so u have to judge that yourself.

If there is less movement in your place than battery will last 3 - 4 weeks, I got lot of movements an I use video to record when motion detected, if you set just to take photos it may last more in one charge. Battery is charged in seperate charger

I haven't taken much video with my camera. However, I have left my camera on by accident and taken multiple photos on several different days without the battery going dead. I think it has a good, long battery life. Not sure if this helped, but told you what i know about the battery.

Hello Kris, Great question. The video can run continuously for approx 1.5 hrs on a full charge and approx 1.5GB of memory will be utilized during that time.

As you know, the answer depends on what exactly you're using it for. If you're just taking snap shots without all the art features, or just a bit of video here and there, then for me the battery lasts for weeks. However, if you're out doing HD 1080 filming, which I do often, then I'll go through a battery every two to four days with over an hour worth of clips to show for it (with image stabilizer off & not using the zoom). However, when I do use the built in image stabilizer for video and pic taking as well as zoom, I only get about 30 min worth of video. When my battery is finally drained, it takes about three to four hours to recharge.

Hey a big Maxe battery and some other options also available that last around 3 to 4 hours, but take a good long time to charge too. Also try the Atomos Recorder which works as a monitor cum external recorder if you have the budgets. Great combination with a 5D Mark III with the full HDMI out.
