does the battery last long

Yes. The charge lasts for quite a while and hasn't been an issue do us. Of course, it depends on how much you use it, look at photos taken, and play with the controls.

I gave this to my granddaughter for her birthday. She uses it a lot and the battery has not been a problem. Only charged twice in month and picture count is over 1,000, with a couple dozen videos. Very happy with camera and battery life.

One Internet review source said to expect 280 shots on a fully charged battery. I can't imagine any issues or problems with battery life, this is not a problem. Great overall, easy to use camera that produces really quality photographs.

The manual says to expect 240 min. of playback time. The battery does run down when the camera is not in use, and usage will affect the available time.

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.

I'm pretty sure it doesn't, but I don't have it with me to be sure (a family member is using it). The battery life lasts a long time, though. I think I used it for about 6 months off and on and I didn't have to replace the battery :)

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

The battery lasted multiple times of me using this keyboard for several hours. You have to be careful to turn it off when it is done. I haven't had to replace the batteries yet, though, and I have used it maybe 5 times for 2-4 hours each.

I really haven't tested the battery life per say.....but I have had it on for more than two hours with the battery still holding charge. Hope this helps.

Mine has lasted for several years ... it has a built in rechargeable battery. I only charge it once a month or so.

No, I keep mine plugged in whenever I'm not using it and it still plays for 7 hours or more on battery.

I have had mine for a couple of years. It does stay on for more than 4 hours. Unless they improved the battery draumatically you will not get 6 - 8 hours.

No and the item is not all that great. Mine didn't work after 1 month of use since the battery would not stay charged.

NO! The use on the battery is so low its not needed. I just turn it off when I leave home for an extended period of time.

Sure it does! The battery usually last about a year depending on how you use it, but you sure will find the battery at Radio Shack or elsewhere, no worries!

We have been using ours since at least June of last year & the battery has not died yet. So they last a long time.

It is powered by your phone so it will last as long as your phone does. I have not noticed that it drains the phone battery much.

it lasts as long as you dont use it. the battery does not lose its charge once it is charged
