you lose a lot of battery life if you put a eyefi card in the camera. You better have a backup battery with you.

Its got at maximum of about 200 shots on 1 charge, I don't know about video though...

The battery that comes with the camera will last a good hour. I purchased an extra battery, VW-VBK360 Lithium-ion Battery, that last for a good 4 hours. I use the original battery as a backup.

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 a very long time! I fully charged overnight before first using it, and it kept a charge for well over 1 month. Used it 5-10 times for about 35minutes total recording time, before I recharged it.

I have had no problems with this battery. I shoot sports pictures. I typically take 200 to 300 at a time. This battery and the one that came with the camera have both preformed flawlessly. I have one in the camera and one fully charged in the bag. When I get home and edit the pictures before posting I also swap the batteries and recharge the battery I just removed from the camera. I have zero experience with using my SLR camera for video. Probably 400 pictures would be okay from my experience. If this is a replacement, and you typically take 400 - 800 in a one day shoot, Then your level of use is enough to warrant buying two batteries and feeling secure. Good Luck.

If there is less movement in your place than battery will last 3 - 4 weeks, I got lot of movements an I use video to record when motion detected, if you set just to take photos it may last more in one charge. Battery is charged in seperate charger

I don't know if you are referring to the battery or the camera? I find the battery does not last long, which is why I bought this additional battery as back up. I keep it with me while I am photographing. If you review your photographs on the camera after you take them, it uses up a lot of battery power, so I do not do that. Depends upon how many photos you take. If I am out all day photographing, the battery might last for one day.

The battery lasts about 100 pictures depending on how often I use the zoom on my camera. I have to charge it about once a week. Great battery.

The one that came with the camera lasted a loooong time. I didn't keep track of how many shots, like some of the good folks that have answered you, and didn't give it very heavy use at home. But when I traveled, I took a LOT of pictures. Eventually it died and I replaced it, but am not satisfied with performance of the replacement; seems to need recharging too often. HTH.

No there is no way to tell... But as a professional photographer I can highly recommend this product it does last pretty long and depending on battery setup from your d800 it should last a couple of days depending on how much you shoot! The d800 let's you choose what battery drains first... That's why sometimes this one doesn't drain as fast it kicks in when your using the shutter release on the grip :) hope this helps and if you have any other questions contact me thru my website www.noahdiegosphotography.com

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 guess it depends on if you are doing long exposures or just normal shooting. I take mine hiking and I am constantly shooting photos in the mountains. I also do some long exposures and I never really noticed how long they last because I take extra batteries with me. I know I have went a month without changing the battery if I am just doing normal shooting.

I have a 32GB memory card and empty it allows for just under 2 hours of HD video at the highest quality. That being said, I'd imagine I could record an hour or more on a single charge as I have recorded over 30 mins and the battery level did not move from full. Actually, even after taking a couple of hundred pictures in one day, I still have not seen the battery less than full. This was the same with my old G9...excellent battery life. It might be possible to fill the whole 32GB card on one charge, but I cannot verify that.

From the manual, the battery will last for 40 minutes of continuous video under typical conditions and 1 hour 10 minutes max before the camera stops automatically. But, reading further, you'll see something interesting. The manual states that, "Recording will automatically stop when the clip file size reaches 4GB, or when the recording time reaches approximately 29 min 50 sec in 1920 or 1280 mode and approximately 1 hour when shooting in 640 or 320 mode. So, unless you're recording a long, low quality video (doubtful if you're looking at a $350 camera) you'll have slightly less than a 30 min limit. I see no way to override this. There are two reasons for it. 1) There are different tariffs imposed by the WTO for video cameras with HD recording times over 30 minutes, and 2) Some sensors cannot tolerate continuous current for long periods without overheating.

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.

I plan on buying the Wasabi charger soon. I just got my WG 3 camera and used it dry, so far it is working well. My original battery charges in approximately 2 hours and 30 minutes.It lasted 1 hour and 20 minutes of continuous use, I took 390 pictures without flash. Hope this helps. Hopefully I will get the same results as "the starfish".

Bob, I have had my camera for about 3 weeks. But I would say it all depends on the way you use it. For me it last all day taking picture around Disney. Then I charge the battery every night. Hope that helped.
