What is the battery life? How is the battery charged?

The battery that comes with this camera lasts for about 350 shots on a single charge. The battery charges through the use of the supplied external charger.

Battery life was great. I took pictures snorkeling for probably 3 hours and then rest of the day without the battery dying. Came with wall plug for USB cord.

In addition to the answers already provided, it is worth noting that battery life depends on camera function. That is, you very well may get 300+ still photos from a single charge, but fewer if, for example, a large number of those photos involve flash. Ambient temperature can also effect battery life. Finally, if battery life is a concern, you might consider something like this: Wasabi Power Battery (2-Pack) and Charger for Nikon EN-EL12. For approximately $20 you'll have two extra batteries plus an extra charger that can be used at home or in a car. Hope this helps

It charges through a supplied USB cable with a current limiter in it. It cautions against using other cables as they may damage the camera. I have not tested this and have chosen to believe them until I loose the cable. With the cable you can charge it from the supplied USB adapter, your laptop or other USB source. I have taken it out for the day taking pictures with the battery going down less than 50% by the end of the day.

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.

The battery lasts around 3-4 hours fully charged. I found it very useful to keep it plugged in while using it at home.

I get about an hour to hour and a half on the standard battery. You can charge with an external charger. I usually do so.

It has an inbuilt battery with a USB charger cord. The battery lasts maybe 4 hours (that's a fairly rough guess).

The battery doesn't last as long as the specs say it will, but then again, that is the case with all computers. I use quite a bit of CPU throughout the day, so without charging I would say it lasts 4 to 5 hours. Given the amount of CPU I'm using, I'm very please with that. If you are just using Microsoft Word and maybe 2 tabs of whatever browser, I would imagine the battery lasts much longer than 4-5 hours.

The battery life is pretty decent. You can probably get about 2 hours or more depending on if it is heavy use or light. The battery once it is completely discharged takes about 3 hours. Youll know it is fully charged because the blue light will show a full glow instead of just half. The battery has a built in feature to keep it from overcharging so you can leave it on the charging base when not in use. I love it because it is powerful enough to get a good clean without all the cords.

works great- torecharge just plug it in until the light confirms the battery is completely charged. I get about 6 hours of operation from an 8 hr charge

A few hours (I haven't clocked it), I think. I've watched a movie and then a tv show afterward. The cool thing is that you can plug it in to charge while you're using it, so that works great!

I don't remember how long it took to charge but you can use it while plugged in since it is battery or direct current. I stopped using mine since it did not work properly.

I've had it for about two years now, and the battery life on it is about two hours, give or take. It's definitely better than the one I replaced, though. I'm still a little disappointed that I have to practically keep my laptop plugged in just to be able to use it for longer periods. Hope this helps!

It has a 6 hour battery life. It is an internal rechargeable that is non-replaceable.

I charge it in my phone everyday, only way I do, the battery life has been great, no issues, I would say battery life is at least a 3rd or so better then factory battery, hope this helps you.

It's charged through a micro USB connection. But once charged up, the internal battery will last for about six hours while connected to it through wi-fi.

Hi! The battery lasts a ridiculously ling time! I used it nightly and used it for several cycles each night, and the battery lasted well over a month on a single charge

It is a rechargable battery that lasts about 2.5 hours. You can also plug it into a wall outlet and use it while it charges

Mine is near 3 years old. Battery life is certainly shortened now (probably 10-12 minutes run time) but zero complaints about its performance. Gets used a few minutes every few days. I have been guilty of leaving it on charge a few days over the years. Certainly been a good value so far. Will likely built my own battery for it when the run time is unusable.
