How long does one of these hold a charge when it's not in use?

I have not timed the battery's ability to hold a charge, but I have had it attached to the camera for about a month while I carried it around in my bag. It stayed fully charged.

I've had mine for about 3 months and still holds its charge. At 100%, lasts 3 1/2 hours and that's when i have my laptop fan and gaming mouse plugged in.

I have charged the battery maybe 4 times now. I would say it lasts for a good 6-8 hours of on and being used time.

If you are referring to how long I have had the unit and if it is still operating I have had the unit for over a year and a half. it is still working well. If you are asking how long the charge lasts it depends on use. With moderate use I can get two to three days on a charge.

Not very long. It is always charged and ready for me as I replace it on the charger between uses.

usually 2-3 years, depending on how well they are maintained. never store when on a low charge. charge every 3 to 4 weeks even when not in use.

I usually notice between 8-12 hours of continuous use before it drains out but I guess it depends on how long you charge it I keep it charged overnight. Hope this answers you're question.

It holds a charge for quite a while. We tend to get a solid 6-8 hours of use out of a single charge.

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.

In my experience, it does not lose power when not used for weeks. I do not know how much longer it will hold a charge.

I'll guess a few hours, if you use it a lot. I keep mine sitting in the charger all the time, though.

Long enough that I forget when I last charged it. My guess is a minimum of a month with daily use, but as I said, I don't remember the last time I charged it.

I have not conducted a careful measurement, but the two I purchased hold a charge for a similarly long time and have remained useful since I purchased them. If forced, I would say that they seem to hold a charge nearly as long, but not quite as long as the original. I use them as a back-up when I might be far from any way to recharge the battery. When I can bring the charger along and use it, one spare would be ample.

I'm not sure. I keep it plugged in. Sorry I can't be much help regarding the battery life.

I had mine sitting idle for about 6 months and then checked it and it was around a 50% charge. It didn't go dead or anything. And charging it took a couple hours if i remember right. But that was several years ago.

I'm not entirely certain how long one would last, because I've never had reason to give it heavy use...I'm sorry I couldn't be of more assistance with your question.

so far mine has lasted 6 hours without needing a charge. I haven't run mine down yet so I cant say for sure but 6 hours as of now
