How long does the battery actually last like how many hours on one charge
1759294
When I am on a trip and making lots of pictures it will last most of one day but if I am just making pictures occasionally it will last for days or weeks depending on how often I use it. I am sorry but can't answer how many hours. I always carry a backup battery with me in case it runs out of power. It does keep its charge longer than off-brand batteries of equal size and is now the only brand I use.

I have been disappointed in the battery life. I was at a convention, started taking photos (no flash) alternating with some video. Battery was dead by afternoon, and that was NOT non-stop photo shooting by any means. If I had to guess, I would estimate 20 short videos and about 275 photos. I didn't have a spare and no way to charge, and missed the rest of the day. Buy a backup, definitely!

There is no simple answer to your questions. I've found that it lasts an adequate amount of time. However, I try to re-charge as often as possible and I carry spares (also recharged) as back-ups. Their small size makes toting extras easy. It also depends on how often you use the camera, how often you use a flash, whether you are using the camera's power saving options (e.g., auto shut-off), etc.

We usually charge it over night after each use to ensure a full charge for the next time. But after 6 to 8 hours it's good to go. I like to let them run it completely down and then charge it just so the battery doesn't get a memory.

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

If the battery is fully charged, it should last for about 6 hours. This is a rough guess based on my using it for about a week, a short time each day, before needing to recharge the battery.

while operating - at least 6 hours. I think mine died during the 7-8 hours after a full charge. I leave it in my car and the batteries remain charged until I actually use it and I'd say it keeps its charge for awhile, on a monthly basis. Not too sure about annually.

About 6 - 8 hours if you run the battery all the way down. Which I dont recommend because your batteries wont last very long.

I just used mine for 6 straight hours, and 2 hours the day before, still going strong. I would estimate 10 hours full charge to dead.

The literature indicates up to 7 hours. I havn't used it for that long so I can't confirm this. I did use it for several hours after charging it for the first time and it still had enough power for a few hours more use a few weeks later before I needed to charge it again.

It takes about 30 minutes to charge. It will usually stay charges for around four hours.

I am not sure quite how long. I have left it off the charger for 3 days and used it quite abit and still had plenty of battery life left.

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.

It lasted over 2 hours straight off one charge. I don't know what kind of battery is in it but it is rechargeable :)

Usually around 6-8 hours. I've never had the battery die on a full days use.

Full charge in about an hour or at the most, 90 minutes. Charge lasts about 3 or 4 days.

The first time we charged the battery before we used it took 18 hours. After that we just charge it overnight. I think it was recommended to charge it 5-6 hours after using it.

I never measured the real charge time because generally we'd just plug it in overnight, but the charge would generally last for a solid 90 minutes of ride-time, though as the battery wears you'll see a speed decrease earlier in that 90 minute timeline. I would guesstimate at about 45 minutes of ride-time for every 5 hours of charging or so, but that's just a rough calculation based on 2 years of ownership and observation.

I charged it for 24 hours the first time. After that I just let it charge over night. You'll be amazed how long it lasts between charges. Hope this helps.
