How long does the battery charge normally last?

All depends on how you use the camera. Program the camera so that it powers off when screen is closed. If you shoot long video clips you will use more battery power. For me battery life can go for 1 hour to 4 hours depending on use. Take this tip from me -- always have another battery charged and ready for use.

Yes it's normal.. To get the most use, fully discharge and re charge 4-5 times. You will see a longer lasting battery

Each occassions lasting several hours. You can charge it in few hours. I have a spare battery. But never had to use it

Takes about 5 hours or so to charge. Once it changes will keep for few days at unless you use it.

My battery charge has reliably lasted 3 to 4 hours depending on what I'm doing on my computer.

I usually charge overnight and the charge will last for 3 or 4 hours, although I am guessing - I haven't really timed it.

Typically with lots of use it generally lasts 1-2 hours depending on use and takes approximately 3 hours for the battery to charge up to full capacity again. I hope this helps with your decision.

Yes, the charge is supposed to last for 15 hours. I find that it lasts for about 6-7 hours.

I charge mine for 16 to 20 hours and I also bought a second one to use in the mean time.

For me, so far, it has been lasting just about 2-3 hours on a full charge. Almost 1 year of usage so I do keep it plugged in when not in use and definitely overnight.

Less then an hour. However, I never stood there to check for every 5 minutes to know exactly, but when I am checking back in an hour the charge is completed. I am actually very pleased with this. I got a second battery also that I am charging when the one in the camera is toward its end...

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.

Perhaps an hour when I got it to charge it to a full charge and the battery last about 6 hours until next charge.

I charged it over night. So I don't know how long it actually took to charge. I do know the charge is good for a few hours of use, though. Sorry i can't be more specific.

Yeah that's normal. Charge it overnight. That's actually a good sign. A slow charge is better. Same with mine. 6-8 hours.

I get between 3-4 hours on a charge. I tend to charge it when I am at 1/2 charge while I am still on it to keep it ready to go. It works well,I am pleased with it.

I bought my battery as a replacement and I charge it about about every four days. I haven't had a battery strictly as a backup
