How long does the battery take to charge up? and how long does it last once it is charged? I'm thinking about buying it for a trip to Europe.

You can also buy an external battery charger and extra battery to use for trips so you don't lose the opportunity to take all the photos you want to.

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.

Nikon says that it takes 1 hour and 50 minutes to charge a fully exhausted battery. Now for how long that will last will vary. Using the flash, not using flash, shooting video and so on. I never been to Europe, so I have no idea if the plugs are the same as here in the U.S. but I think that's something you want to find out. I would suggest you get one of those portable charge stations to keep with you when you need. You won't have the luxury of a spare battery with this model. When the battery goes down, you will have to stop shooting and charge the camera. Overall, I think it is a great camera. You will have to pay attention to the "Scene Mode" tho. Setting the scene to match what you are shooting controls the shutter speed. If the scene you are shooting is different than the one you have set the camera for, your pictures will be out of focus. I had to send tech support an email and they explained that to me. I love the camera and the various functions. I suggest you play with it for a while and you will learn to love it too.

Do you mean how long does it take to charge? But the hours it last is until you unplug it.

It only takes a few hours the first time you charge it. Honestly, I got my keyboard a few months ago and have only had to charge it twice. This thing has a crazy long battery life.

The charge has been lasting about 20 to 30 minutes. Initial charge was 6 hours and charging after use has been taking anywhere from 2 to 3 hours.

i believe you're asking how long does the charge last? I can tell you this is a WONDERFUL electric bike. It has gone over 20 miles and 4 hours easily on one charge and don't think it was running low then! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Not long. 20-30 minutes max. Mine came with an extra battery, which makes it use able. You always have to have a spare charged. Other than battery life, it works great.

Hello. I never actually timed it, but it seems like it only takes a few hours tops. It holds the charge good as we'll hope this helps a little.

well the first couple times you have to charge it long, I used it more than a few times, I even used in europe to charge my mobile devices.

About two hours from completely drained battery to charge it as well as two hours of record time, it takes pretty darn good vedio though for whst it is, I have used it in woods on my dirt bike rides, and can't really complain, hope this answers your ?'s take care

I'd say it fully charges within 30 minutes. I haven't timed it though. When I use it it is only on for about 10 minutes and I had to recharge after about 4-5 days. The button to turn it on and off can be very difficult. Sometimes it is easy and comes right on and other times I have to keep trying.

5 to 6 hours which is not bad considering, another back up battery its very helpful for a maximum user. I love it . and plus if you plan to go that route for a spare battery you van also have that chargin, while you connect your USB charger to just charge it from your pone as well come with a built in USB charging port.

I'm sorry, I did not keep track of how long it took to charge; I just did them overnight. Once it's charged, according to the camera readout, it is good for more than 6 hours of running. The two batteries should be good for most conceivable situations. I have pretty much stopped using the charger that comes with the camera.

Let it charge for 8 to 12 hours. It charges slow at first this helps the battery live longer. you want long term battery health let it charge 100 percent. Then it should be good. I love mine!

Sorry took so long to answer...battery life is maybe three days- I have to charge up every other day to make sure it doesn't die on me.

1:52 on a full charge but it automatically goes into battery-saving mode when not recording or if LCD screen is closed and not turned off. Mine has lasted for a whole day touring Europe but I carry a back-up just in case.
