how long does it last on battery power?

Mine is connected to cable. I've never used it on battery. Sorry. I absolutely love mine. Keep it on my kitchen counter and it's perfect. Just the right size.

1: a long time, I'd say at least 8 hours. 2: It doesn't use power when off as far as I've noticed

From what I am seeing online, you can keep it plugged in to last longer (charge it). It lasts for about 15 minutes when fully charged and lasts for a long, long time (no real time table for the battery though). Can be a year, can be 5 years depending on usage.

The most I have had battery life is a little over 2 hrs. If you charge it and don't use it right away it will die. But honestly for the money its a good price. Hope this helps.

I generally get around 4.5 hours. Most of the time I use the AC power. I use a hard drive not a solid state.

It does use some power, but not as much as if it's in the "ON" mode. Also, the "sound" mode is more interesting to look at. I use rechargeable batteries and I get probably between 10-20 hours, depending on how much noise there is.

Yes, the unit will run on the battery. If the unit is on continuous recording, the power last about 4 hours. If it is in stand-by, motion detection mode, you should be good for 10-12 hours.

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've had mine for 2 years and it seems to be going strong. The battery charge doesn't last a long time (about 15 min or so) but that has always been the case.

Sorry, I can't answer that one. I have only used this at home so it's plugged in. I haven't taken it out for anything on-the-go to see how the battery power lasts.

Its a pretty long time. I charge it occasionally, but it has never died on me while I was using it.

2.5 hours is a long time. I have to keep mine plugged in constantly. The battery is terrible on this thing. After 6 months of use its even worse.

In my experience, a fully charged battery lasts 7 to 8 hours, depending on how loud you have it and how far from the base station it is.

Well, it depends how long you keep it on. In general, It lasts at least 9-12 hrs in a day when it's on, but if you use 'sleeping mode', it would be more than one day(at least one and a half day you don't need to charge it). Hope it helps.

To be honest I cannot answer this question accurately as I have only used it at home and do not travel with it much. But for home use without my power cable it lasts at least 4 hours.

Not sure. I used it on/off for 4 hours. It last longer than my cell phone battery used as the music source.

It was lasting up to 20-25 minutes for me. I always keep it plugged in. Use it almost every day, several times a day. But now that I've had it for about 9 months, the battery is no longer lasting very long. I think maybe 5 minutes, tops, before it starts to lose power. I am here to check out the return policy, because I think I got a lemon. My last Dustbuster lasted several years with regular use. It's way too early for this one to be dying already.
