what is the battery life on the cameras before you have to pull them down and charge them???

The cameras have no battery life. They have to be plugged in to a 110 outlet.

I have had the camerass for 8 months and they are still working....They are great cameras as long as you have it on large picture.

We were mainly taking pictures, when we were on our trip. And they lasted longer than the one that came with the camera. They lasted about a day and a half of off and on use. With the two batteries you should be good. I hope this helps you.

Mine are lasting for over 1.5h and they outrun oem GoPro batteries by just few minutes. The real test comes after several charges but I don't have any complains so far. Good luck with your shooting;)

Hi Robin, I do not have that answer. It has been charged and holding the charge but not much time on camera usage.

I've had pretty good success with these batteries. I put a fully-charged battery in my camera before my niece's wedding last Saturday & started taking pictures at the church at 1:30. I took several hundred pictures (don't know the exact count on this battery) and didn't have to change the battery until about 7:30 that evening. I always keep a fully-charged backup in my bag & the second one got me thru the rest of the night, with charge to spare. Hope that helps!

I bought this camera yesterday and yes I did have to remove the battery to charge it. It only took me 3 hours to charge and it's really simple to place the battery back into the camera. All you have to do it take out the small flat battery into the charging station and connect it to the outlet. I too didn't want to charge my camera like this first, but it's really not that bad.

I take high resolution photos so battery life is shorter than it would be with lower. Right now it is 1/4 used up and has 109 minutes on it. I plan to buy a spare battery and keep one charged all the time.

if you got the batteries and charger from china then its about a two hour charge. take them off the charger when done, dont let them stay on.

You can charge the batteries whenever you choose. I usually do it when the camera shows 1 bar (out of 3). I don't think there is a loss of capacity from recharging a non-drained battery, but I don't know. I have used these batteries for about a year, taken more than a thousand pictures, and have not noticed any loss of battery charge duration. But this is anecdotal - not something I have tested for.

I got about 15 minutes out of each full charge. So, it's best to keep the camera plugged in at all times. The camera still shoots color at night and automatically adjusts to day/night.

I too bought extra batteries and took them with me on several trips. We did have ways to charge them, but I did notice that the batteries I bought from Ebay lasted longer than the battery that came with the camera. Enjoy yourself!!!

I have not had the chance to completely wear them out but have taken well over pictures on a battery , I then stored the camera for as couple weeks and when I went to use it again there was still plenty to take a plaus before needing charged . They are definitely higher capacity than the one that came with the camera and with this set and the original keeping at least one at full is easy

To be frank. Yes. But I find my rechargeable batteries can be used for about 20 minutes, then I turn the camera off. The next time I turn it on I get about 10-15 before the batteries need to be recharged, but I always carry two sets of rechargeable batteries. I wouldn't advise this camera if you don't use rechargeables (batteries), otherwise it's an extra $75-200 a year depending on what batteries you use.

I don't know. I haven't had one completely run down. Their effective use time will get shorter as time goes by. I always charge my battery about every time I use my camera or take along a extra charged battery just in case.Don

I must have got a lemon. Battery life is sporadic, and not dependent on the usual factors, like using flash or video. I turn off my camera after each photo or group of photos. Sometimes a battery will last a 1-2 hours, sometimes a few weeks. I have three with me at all times or I may not be able to use my camera.

Well it depends on what you are running on the camera from what I can tell so far. My camera has been broken a few times so I haven't really had a chance to see the life of the battery. The battery that came with the camera was bad. It died within an hour and wouldn't hold a charge. Mind you the camera was purchased DIRECTLY from Olympus. That wasn't good to have a bad camera AND a bad battery. :( I got a replacement and it seems to work fine. But I can't give you a true time length as I haven't tested it yet past an hour or two with general use.

I would say that the battery life would last you a full day is used immensely, or two-three days with less use. I have used it for over 4-5 days by taking pictures and simply turning the camera on and off as needed because of the quick startup. If you stayed somewhere for a week and needed pictures (and it was charged already) I would say to charge it once more while there to be safe.
