How long does a battery charge typically last?

The battery does not last long, particularly with video. Maybe around 200 shots. I strongly recommend buying the 2 pack supplement. It's not expensive, and if you're out and plan on heavy shooting you'll need them. The only negative for an otherwise phenomenal camera.

not sure. I always have an spare in my bag but I never need to use it. I use the camera in parties and family reunions and the regular batt is enough, but I see in lot of forums the batt must be better. This is why I travel with an extra battery and extra 16GB memory card.

I recently used the camera at a wedding and the battery went dead after 110 pictures. After that experience, I take two spare batteries with me.

If you are taking lots of pictures, like on a trip, it only lasts half a day. So I would recommend buying a spare. If you only use it to take day to day pics, it will last longer. Hope this answers your question.

I tend to just leave it all night charging, but I would say maybe 4 or so hours.

30 or so minutes to charge. . With continuous use, it stays charged 4 or 5 hours. Actually I've never had them go dead on me if that means anything

The charge takes less than two hours after the initial charge. My batter lasted me almost two weeks of non continuous shooting, so all in all probably 8-10 hours of serious continuous shooting. However if you are shooting a lot of indoor shots, it might last less as the live mode seems to burn battery a bit more than auto.

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.

Yes, the charge is supposed to last for 15 hours. I find that it lasts for about 6-7 hours.

Really I don't know. I usually charge it around 8 hours and after that, I use it. But I don't like at all.

We usually charge it over night after each use to ensure a full charge for the next time. But after 6 to 8 hours it's good to go. I like to let them run it completely down and then charge it just so the battery doesn't get a memory.

I'm routinely using it for 3 to 4 hours and still has a charge. Guess I could probably go 4 1/2 to 5 hours. Definitely was a good purchase - at least for how I use my computer.

Initially I charged it for 4 hours. That's supposed to last for 2 weeks or longer, as I was informed; however I have to charge it regularly for at least 2 hours.

I never measured the real charge time because generally we'd just plug it in overnight, but the charge would generally last for a solid 90 minutes of ride-time, though as the battery wears you'll see a speed decrease earlier in that 90 minute timeline. I would guesstimate at about 45 minutes of ride-time for every 5 hours of charging or so, but that's just a rough calculation based on 2 years of ownership and observation.

I have charged the battery maybe 4 times now. I would say it lasts for a good 6-8 hours of on and being used time.

Depends on how many times you push to use or just to scare someone. My has lasted up to 24hrs. With me just playing around and setting it off for 4 or 5 hrs. and I still had charge next day.

I bought my battery as a replacement and I charge it about about every four days. I haven't had a battery strictly as a backup

For mine approximate charge time is abt 5 to 6 hours. So I usually make sure batteries stay full by always charging over night if needed.

6-7 hours or so for me - do yourself a favor and purchase a longer usb cable so you can charge while using when necessary.

Battery charge lasts about 5 to 6 hours. I bought 2 of them and just change to the spare it I am watching that long!I don't worry about the battery life for the price :)
