After charging, how long will this battery hold the charge?

First of all it held a charge longer than the Panasonic that came with the camera. We were on vacation and the camera was on all day, now and then it would go on sleep mode. We took an average of 104 photos per battery. The camera is great! Battery power could be better in my opinion.

In standbys or light use such as occasionally checking emails and answering phone calls the charge last me all day (14hrs). I get that with the original battery also. It is important to note that it took about 3 charging cycles to get this performance. Out of the box after original charge I only got 8 hrs, but in my case performance improved after more use. Heavy use gets me about 6-8 hrs depending on what I am doing.

Did you charge the battery for the length of time indicated in the instruction manual prior to use? The first time or two I used mine the battery ran down pretty fast. After recharging it, the battery definitely held a charge longer than it did initially. If it continues to not maintain the charge as long as you think it should, I would contact the manufacturer or return it.

? I have never used it that long. I have let it sit for hours even overnight and it still had charge the next day so I would Think it would last for four hours straight.

I usually charge it about 4 hours and the battery will be hot to the touch. It should be good to go

I've had mine for months and only charged it the initial time. I don't recall how long it took. I only use it a couple of times a week but the charge has held.

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

You can go quite awhile once charged...I think at least a month if not more. You did remind me to check mine though since it has been awhile since I charged it! ;)I've never kept it plugged in though...only plugged in overnight to charge it up and it holds a charge for a good duration of time!

Takes about 5 hours or so to charge. Once it changes will keep for few days at unless you use it.

I haven't had any problems with it holding a charge. I have noticed if I don't use it for a few days it doesn't work. So I would suggest charging it every other day or so. If mine is charged it usually lasts a couple hours.

The instructions tell you how long to charge it initially. I've only recharged it once since then.

I get between 3-4 hours on a charge. I tend to charge it when I am at 1/2 charge while I am still on it to keep it ready to go. It works well,I am pleased with it.

I have this in a child's 4 wheeler toy, and it holds a charge for a good while but I am not sure how many hours exactly.

You can charge it in about 2 or 3 hours. I found a trick that if you make sure it stays cool, it will charge quicker and discharge slower. Not a bad battery.

I charged the battery for about 14 hrs. and the battery only lasted for about 3 hrs. and it was dead. So after three more attempts to charge it and getting the same result, I gave up. I hope this answers you question.

Probably an hour for a full charge. I finally had to replace my battery because it would not hold a charge. Pull yours out and see if it is bulged in the middle. If so it is bad.
