It is pretty long. I used the camera for several hours without recharging. It says 180 minutes when fully charged, but I am not sure it is actually that long. I am sure it gives me about two hours and I haven't run the battery completely dead yet.

I don't know the exact times but it isn't that long. Batteries that come bundled with camcorders typically aren't that great. I'm getting an external charger (otherwise you have to charge it inside the camcorder) and an additional battery so I won't ever find myself without power.

Battery charge lasts about 5 to 6 hours. I bought 2 of them and just change to the spare it I am watching that long!I don't worry about the battery life for the price :)

I haven't actually timed it, but I've been able to use it quite a bit without recharging. I use quite a lot on Sundays and for hours at a time on other days of the week. Takes several days before I have to recharge. I have been impressed with the battery life.

It lasts for about 20+ minutes, but I don't use it for long except for short sessions. Please note, it's best when the battery is allowed to drained and then recharged to prevent memory effect. Most folks set it back in the charger which is the worse thing you can do.

I can't say I have ever measured the battery life but we are happy with it. As long as it was plugged in overnight, it usually makes it through the day, because we set it to suspend after 15 minutes of idle time and we rarely use it for more than 30 min straight. If I ever take it with me to work somewhere for an extended period, I just take the cord with me, it is pretty light.

Hi. The battery Will run for about 5+ hours if you are using the power saver configuration and you are just browsing or using Word. Any heavy use (vídeos, streaming, large databases, etc) and the battery Will last for about 3 hours.

The battery will last for 10 hours, but only when kept at a moderate volume. If you crank the volume up near max, the battery will last about 5 hours.

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.

Greetings. Theoretically speaking, the batteries can last 100-120 hours. But it will also be affected by the battery type and usage. Thanks for your question.

Hi,I have mine since two years ago, the battery had a duration between 2 and 3 hours, but since one year ago it last around 30-45 min.

Battery life is pretty good. I like it because it is rechargeable. Just plug it into an outlet.

Average Battery Life is about 4 hours. The product description, (That MOST people seem to ignore), is "UP TO 5 Hours." 5 Hour Battery Life IS NOT Guaranteed. On a FULL charge, battery lasts 4 to 4.5 hours.

Battery is supposed to last about 8 hours but can vary depending on volume, etc. I haven't really pushed it that far to see if it will last that long.

About 2 hours with activity, stand by is several hours. But after a few weeks of use, battery life goes under 1 hour. I plugged it in for 3 hours, and only 1/3 of it was charged. Really awful battery life.

I have never timed it, but with constant use I'd say it lasts about an hour fully charged. It's really not a long lasting battery which I have to say has to be the only problem with it. It's a great tool but using it avidly for all kinds of projects, I could use a longer battery life. Your measure of a "good length" all depends on what you plan on using it for.

Depends on how many times you push to use or just to scare someone. My has lasted up to 24hrs. With me just playing around and setting it off for 4 or 5 hrs. and I still had charge next day.

Hi Malia. I've listened to it 7 hrs straight and battery was still going, and I read that it lasts up to around 12hrs... Which is pretty good fir a portable speaker. It's small but sound is great. Hope that helps.
