How long can you record a video with a fully charged battery?

This camera will easily record up to it's limit of 30 minutes for a single clip on a full battery. This is an arbitrary limit for digital cameras to avoid being taxed extra as a video recording device.

I ran a test and timed it for almost 2 hours before depleting the battery charge. Using a 16GB Micro SD memory card it recorded about 10GB of VGA mode video during the test. If you use the original SD card that comes with the camera you will use up all the storage space before the battery runs down.

You can, but you'll need a lot of space. With 32 GB recording at the highest video quality, you can record around 9-10 hours. But I think that the camera will stop recording after around 2.5 hours because that's what happened to mine the one time I actually was recording that long. Otherwise, I usually record around 40-60 minutes, and the camera always stays on during that time.

I use mine every week to record my boys football games and lasts about 60 minute of recording time. As for holding a charge, I don't recall how long it lasts, but I do know my camera has sat for a month or so and I didn't have any issues with the battery being dead. I hope that helps.

No, now a full charged battery is not enough for recording even 15' of HD video. Though it is still ok for taking pictures.

a few days if you are shooting pictures only. Video eats up the battery time much faster. It recharges very quickly.

I haven't actually timed it but I guess it might depend on factors such as quality settings when you record using it. I will say I used it several times filming roads around my town and drove for hours and it didn't deplete my battery. Also I recently had taken it out to use it after it was in a drawer and months had gone by but it was still fully charged. Seriously I don't think you'll have any problems and also it's easy to charge using the USB either on your lap top or I use an Apple iPad charger on occasion. Just take off the cable for the iPad and plug the one for the MUVI into it. Faster! Hope I helped! I love the MUVI! I still am happy with the quality of the video.

If the battery is completely empty, it may need a few minutes to get enough of a charge to start recording. It does, however, record normally when hooked up for charging.

Depending on what resolution and frames per second you have it set for, the battery can last anywhere from 8 hours to 3 hours on a single charge. The camera battery is quick to charge though so high quality video is always an option.

Depends on SD card size and records for 10 days with battery only. Indefinitely if plugged in.

Tachyon: Since the upgraded to Full-HD 1080p, the built-in battery records about 2.5 hours. When plug to the 12V or USB outlet, the camera is able to charge while recording, and has improved to auto-start and stop recording at ignition and shutdown.

I have never completely depleted the battery and have used it all day on a number of occasions with multiple recordings, both still and video. I get about 4 hours video with a 16 GB sd card.

I haven't used the video feature, so I can't answer that question. I get pretty good time on battery with snapshots, but always have extra battery charging.

I get about two hours of video. I am using a 64gig SD. I could get more video but the two hour mark is the max run time on a full charge!

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.

Yes, full charged will last about 11 hrs depend how you use the HC-V720 Camcoder.
