What is the battery life on this? I am looking for a camera to record while cycling.

Mine goes about 3 hours continuous use. It actually lasts longer than I expected!

Not good at all maybe 2 hours, save up for a Gopro this camera has more problems than the battery. It over heats the case chatters you can only hear in the video play back but I will say that I used it on my motorcycle your bike might not have that problem. Last thing although it has a lot of mounting options they are cheaply made and break very easily. Save your money!

Its alright. You get at least 2-3 hours of full recording. This is a rough guesstimate from trying to think back on back experiences. Heads up: the screen shuts off and it seems like it automatically shuts off when you're on standby off but it really isn't. If you didn't turn off the camera then its not off. I initially thought the battery sucked because of this.

As you know, the answer depends on what exactly you're using it for. If you're just taking snap shots without all the art features, or just a bit of video here and there, then for me the battery lasts for weeks. However, if you're out doing HD 1080 filming, which I do often, then I'll go through a battery every two to four days with over an hour worth of clips to show for it (with image stabilizer off & not using the zoom). However, when I do use the built in image stabilizer for video and pic taking as well as zoom, I only get about 30 min worth of video. When my battery is finally drained, it takes about three to four hours to recharge. As you know, the answer depends on what exactly you're using it for.

how much do you think the battery lasts when shooting at 720 fps?Is an 8gb card enough to record with a fully charged battery?The thing is that I don´t want to spend the extra money if I don´t have to.

I haven't taken much video with my camera. However, I have left my camera on by accident and taken multiple photos on several different days without the battery going dead. I think it has a good, long battery life. Not sure if this helped, but told you what i know about the battery.

I'm really not sure but it appears to be about 8 hrs of driving which is more than enough for me. It records in 5 min intervals but on a continous basis. It's a great camera and I've had it for more than 1-1/2 yrs. I like it so much I ordered 2 more but only have two in operation at this time. You'll love it.

I have never had to record a shot that was non-stop so I dont know, but I would assume you would run out of storage space before the battery died. The battery life is quite impressive

The battery last about 2.5-3 hours per charge. It uses an internal, rechargeable battery that's recharged with the provided cable through your USB port or charger. I'm very happy with this camera. I used it this past January on a 100 mile snowmobile trip thru the woods and frozen lakes. I just had it clipped to the outside of my parka without its protective case hoping that it would work. At times I was doing over 80 mph. It worked beautifully and caught video for me that was unbelievable. Obviously, you won't get video or audio that's comparable to a high end video/camera, but it does a great job for the incredibly low price. Add to the fact you get everything you need with it and you can't go wrong. It's a great product for its price! Regards, Joe

The battery will last 2 hours of recording time on a full charge but lasts days while on standby. For thirty bucks I was very impressed with this camera for my applications

I haven't specifically used video that long, but with a couple of short (less than a minute vignettes each) with several hundred stills, 400+, and shooting off of the screen on the back and reviewing each shot as long as needed, I was able to do all that and the battery held up fine. That was over a couple of days even, and finally charged it when it got to about 5% after all that. Hope that helps.

Don't use it so much for videos but I recently went to a car show and the battery went dead after 147 pictures. Seems like the battery used to last longer [about 1 yr. old] so I may get a spare, but it's great for the price and I was going to spend $750 to $800 , glad I got this one . Good luck.

Alex,Let me just say that I have recorded very long sessions while turning it on and off repeatedly and never really though, "oh this battery life stinks!" It's simply amazing. Also, I purchsed the 64GB card for it. Basically, I have TONS of movies i have recorded since purchasing it over 2 years ago and STILL haven't pulled them off the card. Good luck.... Case

Mine records audio from the camera. It doesn't hear you as much on the bike though.

I down load my rides daily and leave the unit attached to my computer until the next ride. I have tried taking it off the USB cable and after 1 day it will need to be recharged and will not record a ride. So, I guess the answer is battery life is less than 24 hours. My unit is about 5 months old and I ride pretty much every day.

Mine always records and stops recording when my vehicle is bumped. Haven't had any issues with the battery being drained whatsoever. This camera only records the front view-not inside the vehicle. You don't have to delete videos at all- continually records until it is stopped and saves it so it doesn't record over what was saved. Don't listen to that Vagan deusche- he probably forgot to turn it on and it's not meant for bicycles....... The camera mirror has a 2 hour back up recording capability just in case your car battery dies.

I have only used it once skiing. It looks like about two hours of continuous recording. I just put it on record for the day of skiing and it turned off sometime during the day after it had run out of battery. I liked the video I got. I need to find a better way of attaching to get more of the action.
