What type of battery life are you getting when on flashing mode?

I've purchased a few of these lights. I seem to be getting about 4-5 months of using it between solid and flashing mode. I use it 5x per week in the early morning hours when walking my dog. I just find it easier to replace the whole light rather than the batter but that's just me.

I think the flash mode runs a little bit longer, but using it everynight, probably 3-4 weeks tops...

Well, we don't use the flashing mode much really, but mainly solid when our dog goes out at night. But we have never replaced a battery. We leave the light on his collar all the time, and just turn it on for the few minutes he is out, so battery life is more than a year.

I'd estimate it lasts 5-6 hours in flash mode. I charge it every day. The one time I didn't, I only got 4 hours out of it.

I found all this quite reassuring . The display stays on and the logo in the bottom right hand corner continually flashes because i haven't downloaded the data. I'm still pleased with mine, but I would have thought todays technology would be able to provide a 'stand by' mode . 1st battery relaced after 3 months - because i thought the flashing logo was a low battery indicator ! - perhaps i'll update you in a few months !

I'm trying to remember, because we stopped using it when the battery died (too early). I believe it was steady about every second. We only used it in flash mode once.

I took photos in rapid succession with the flash always on and it lasted between 260-280 photos before I changed it out, only because it was on the last bar. It recharges very fast in an hour or two. I have done this numerous times with similar results. They are a notch below the Nikon batteries as far as how many photos could be taken on a single charge, but they are still very good and way cheaper. I used them more than the Nikon battery, because they are cheaper to replace.

I have shot 200 pics before I charged the battery before. That is not using the flash. With flash, I don't know.

I always use the flash, even in daylight. I don't have trouble with backlighting. I have used most of the "mode" settings.

I also bought a refurb and love it. I went into the settings and turned brightness way down but its still seems plenty bright. You can check in settings and see which programs are the biggest drain. Turning off Bluetooth will also help. I think companies always overestimate how much battery life they can achieve (they probably measure the life by how long you can listen to mp3's continuously). I don't think you should be concerned.

Hi Bennet, Sorry for late reply. If the battery is not charged fully, its light flash. But once it is charged fully, its light stop flashing. If you have any further questions, please let us know it.

I think they only flash when you're low on battery. These things are pretty small. I like them.

I like to use the brightness at full and with the Wi-Fi on, if I browse, email, etc, I think it lasts me around 3-4 hours. The battery life isn't too impressive on this laptop..

I have actually tested the battery life at maximum use. From fully charged, I had the screen at 100% brightness, and going online, I was watching videos. My battery lasted a little bit more than 4 1/2 hours before it went to 0%.

I too have this concern. Though it's hard to gauge because people all seem to have different standards about what good battery life is. So please, those of you who reply, be sure to specify in some quantifiable terms how long your batteries lasted, what kind you were using, and whether you used the flash or battery saving settings/techniques. Be as specific as possible. Thanks.I see posts by people who were thrilled that they could take 'almost a whole day' worth of pictures. I have a bulky sony DSC-S50 that will take pictures all day for a week without recharging so I'm not sure if I should be impressed by this for a small camera or not. Depends on how many pictures are being taken on that almost whole day. I too have this concern.

I haven't timed it exactly either. But I can get through 3-4 movies (balanced settings) and still have half battery life. Hope this helps!

I get 4-5 hours on battery on power saver mode. 3 hours on High Performance.
