how many shots will this battery take on average
358506
LOTS!! I used it to do ebay and only had to recharge about once a week, and would shoot about 1000 pictures between charges.

I have gotten a lot. Depends on how much video I take, how much zoom I use and how much reviewing of photos I do. This is just like the Canon battery that came with the camera so works just as well. I have found in the past that other batteries (not made by the camera manufacturer) are just a waste of money.

The one that came with the camera lasted a loooong time. I didn't keep track of how many shots, like some of the good folks that have answered you, and didn't give it very heavy use at home. But when I traveled, I took a LOT of pictures. Eventually it died and I replaced it, but am not satisfied with performance of the replacement; seems to need recharging too often. HTH.

I have yet to run a battery out on it. I did purchase an additional battery which I keep in my camera case but have not had to resort to it.

You're looking at 220-250 shots on avg. but of course it all depends on how the camera is being used

It really is going to depend on several factors. Different cameras will drain the same battery at different rates. It is also going to depend on the type of shooting you are doing...are you sightseeing and leaving the camera on between shots, are you reviewing the shots after each one? If you are leaving the camera on while walking around for several hours, taking video and/or reviewing shots between each one, the battery will take less shots as these actions will drain it faster. I tend to do all these things and carry a second, fully charged battery to switch it out with. That said, my battery lasts for about 2.5 to 3 hours before I need to switch it out.

I use it in my Canon S90 and in a vacation situation where there is some zooming and a few flashes, I get about 300 shots.

Clifford, I am not a very constantly-taking photographer, so with my new Canon SX260 which I bought in October of 2012 I have taken only 171 photos. The original battery which I charged when I received the camera is still going strong, with full bars in the camera's battery icon. I cannot guess how much longer it will go before recharging, but I am well satisfied with the battery so far. It is a real Canon NB-6L-Ion battery, not one of the cheaper non-Canon batteries available at a much lower price. I cannot speak for those, but have bought another real Canon battery which is charged and ready to go when the original battery needs its first re-charge. Hope this helps you somewhat.

I did one while driving shooting every 30 sec and it lasted 3 hrs on full charge. On the way back I set it for 1 min. intervals and the die time was identical. So I'm not really sure how much more battery capturing an image takes over just idling.

No, you use two! A 100% improvement over your standard setup, and it should easily give you 1500+ shots before having to change your battery. I love mine!

It charges pretty fast-like an hour or so,but if you're planning to shoot more than 200 photos at one try,I'd get another battery- there are bunch of them on eBay for $5-8,any would work.

Well I'm sure it depends on the brand of batteries. I used off brands from Menards and as most things from Menards its low quality so i got about 3 weeks out of the gun. I am not sure how much my kid used when i wasn't around so i cant give an estimated amount of hrs it will run

The battery should last for about 70 mins but I ordered 10 extra batteries between 2 cameras. That's the only thing I could come up with for my cameras.

One CO2 cartridge will last between 3-4 reloads so around 90-120 shots. That is on the full power setting.

I really can't tell the difference although I haven't "timed" them shooting video.I've spent several long days shooting many 100's of pics for findagrave.com. They would end up discharged after about the same "duty cycle" as the factory battery. They were about $5-6 ea. delivered when I purchased mine, so I bought 3. I could have gotten by with just 1 spare.

I want to say about 450 shots because in cqb it usually lasts me a whole round.

I can't give you a direct answer. It depends on what brightness setting and size dot setting, but I shot all past season on one battery; 12 matches, about 4 hours long each time, plus practice sessions, about another 8 4-hour sessions and still going brightly... I try to turn it off between rounds but don't always remember.

That's really depends on ues. I get a good 4 to 5 shoots before replacing batteries but I turn them on only during actual shooting otherwise I turn them off.

The PowerShot A2300 uses the same battery that most of the other PowerShot models use. (We've got an S90 and an S95 rolling around the house as well..) From absolutely dead to fully charged, the battery is in the cradle for about 90 minutes. On a full charge, my youngest hammered off about 400 shots (sans flash) and a few minutes of video without a problem. Your Mileage May Vary, but battery performance is one of the areas where the PowerShop holds up well in comparisons.

I have one of these that has been in constant use since about August 1, and as of the end of October still had about 35% life on the original batteries. This is on trail mode with about 10-15 shots per day, sometimes a lot more (windy weather- branches triggering a thousand pictures in a day, for instance). I can't compare to other models, but this is fairly decent in my opinion.

Only owed unit for about three months and battery indicator says I still have a lot of strength left. If you use range finder 40 times each round your battery should last about 250 rounds but I would think a third of that would probably be more realistic. Just put a second battery in your bag and you will be good to go.

These are really great batteries. Believe it or not, on a good day I can get up to 400 shots on a single battery.You can't go wrong with these. (IMO)

The battery lasts about 100 pictures depending on how often I use the zoom on my camera. I have to charge it about once a week. Great battery.
