How long does this hold a charge with the LP-E6 Batteries ?

It holds a charge extremely well. I used this battery grip for my friends wedding (500+pics) went clay shooting and took videos with pics and still had about 50% battery life on both batteries. I can leave the batteries in the grip and it seems like the charge is the same as when I last used the camera. I highly recommend this battery grip if you are looking for something you can use for a "LONG" time.

Depends how many pictures you take but it definitely seems to last more than twice as long as one battery. Maybe my imagination, but I'm very pleased with battery life using this grip

I purchased four of these batteries about two months ago. I am currently using 1.1.3 but was previously using 1.1.2. I primarily use them in a genuine Canon battery grip. In all cases the camera sees them as a standard LP-E6 and I haven't had any issues with them. However, it is my understanding that newer Canon chargers may not charge them or not charge them correctly.

I have only had mine, a P7 for a few days so I really can't say how long the batteries will last. It uses regular alkaline batteries so they are cheap to replace.

Weeks for sure, but the charge wears off quickly. I think there are better batteries & chargers out there. I've been thinking of replacing them with the most premium ones I can find, and getting a high quality charger...................

So far after I charge the battery it will last about 90 minutes. I have not had any issues with the battery.

I don't have a Canon LP-E8, but if you go to amazon.com search for Canon LP-E8 charger you can find this charger has an output DC: 8.4V 600ma out put. This should be able to charge those batteries.

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.

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

Stuart i don't know ebl - but i am using the eneloop for a while - that battery manufacturers are writing as capacity and what the battery is actual giving out are 2 tings - esp after you used them 20+ times the eneloop is made for dependency and for long live - they will hold most of their charge even after one year storage - the price is a little lest mah other batteries can give you more mah but loosing most of it in the first month of storage - so depending where you are using it you should choose. I prefer eneloop because I know i have something solid for the next years - they hardly dies in the charger last pretty long and holding their charge. This doesn't say that other ones are not equal.

A good 6-8 hours, but once it's charged it works for a good hour 1/2 to 2 hours (which is more than i can say for alot of the other RC cars)

No, it lasts closer to 4 1/2 hours on a full charge. I have never gotten more than that out of it.

I have two sizes of batteries - the large one can take up to 2 hours if it close to total discharge. The smaller battery (the one that came with my camcorder) takes about an hour.

I find that at full charge the batteries last more than 4 hours. I think it is a great idea to keep a spare charged. Especially if you are editing or taking video as well.

Once charged it holds for a very long time. We have ours on our sailboat for late night anchoring adventures, and it has held a good charge for months. We've never had to replace the battery.

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.

It appears to charge for about a 2 hour lifespan. But that's how long most of the 6-lithium ion batteries charge for. Most batteries last me 6-12 months before they overheat if you use your laptop frequently

Hi rick. My standard battery lasted about 20 minutes. I later bought the bigger "piggy back" battery together with the fast charger. These together kept me going more than I needed.
