How long will this battery last under normal condition?

I can record for almost 2 hours per battery. Good life batteries and it also charges pretty quickie. So much better price than the manufacturer's batteries.

This battery is great. Last much longer and better than the canon batteries.

At least four or so hours of intermittent use. I haven't actually ever run a continuous shot without stopping. I am confident it is longer than the stock Canon battery (which is smaller).

When it is "brand new" and if you properly charge it the first time (meaning OVERNIGHT) then you will safely get about 3.5 hours out of it. Although my Canon Camcorder says nearly 300 minutes. However, with weekly use, the batterly life will diminsh. I find myself replacing them entirely every year - but I shoot 40-60 minutes every weekend during sports seasons. (so basically I get 2 sports seasons out of them befor they are shot. E.g. Spring Baseball and Fall Soccer).

I have run it for about 6 hrs before on a fully charged battery. Sometimes 7 depending on how often it is used. I keep a spare fully charged battery on hand just in case.

I love this thing. Had it for a while and haven't replaced the battery. You should be fine for months

Battery life is pretty good... A whole day if your actually using it.. I've left it sitting and it's lasted around 3 weeks without usage on one charge.

My battery is still working fine. I only use it about every two weeks. I've only had it a few months.

I have had this battery for over a year now. It use to stay charged for approximately 2 hours under heavy use. One thing I have done lately that has actually extended the charge to 30 - 45 minutes longer, is replace the old hard drive with a solid state hard drive. This has also breathed new life into the laptop to make it like a new one again. It is twice as fast after I added the maximum RAM and solid state drive. Cheaper than buying a new laptop.

depending on applications you are running brand new should last 90-120mins at least more if just using basic computer functions but the more you have running the faster it will use the battery

I've only had it for a week, so no battey problems yet. It lasts my whole 10-hour work day on a full charge. There aren't any instructions included abot replacing the battery, but it looks like someone else responded and said it IS user-replaceable.Li-ion should last for years, but good battery maintenance will help extend the life. For at least the first 10 cycles, I charge it fully, then drain it completely. Don't recharge when it drops to 80%, 60%, etc. The performance doesn't suffer at all even when it is almost dead. That should help you get the most life and best performance.

Brand new with average use it will last more than 20 hours. Do not make the mistake of overcharging the battery. Disconnect right after it is fully charged. The battery will start dying faster which happened to me.

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.

This unit just came to market so as far as life span no one knows yet. But I will answer on previous model. If you take care of it like anything else; it should last a long time. I used my DC44 about fifteen minutes daily on average and had it for about two years and never replaced battery or had the need to. The run time never diminished over the two years and nothing broke on it either. Just take care of it ie. taking out the wound up hair in the beater bar and cleaning filter once in awhile you will be ok.

It was holding a decent charge for about 6 hours versus the 3 hours I was getting with my old battery. The phone was 2 years old, so I didn't expect it to act like my 100% brand new. It really was my fault for not caring for my battery properly and letting it die every now and then.

My batteries like these (I have a few) have lasted well over a year. Average with daily use has been a year and half and more.

It would be safe to say 8 hours, but it lasts a long time. There is no worry in the battery department!

Mine came at 4974, and is working fine so far (been almost a month). I get from 3-4 hours depending on what I'm doing. Coming from about a half hour on my 5 year old original battery, it's quite an improvement and well worth 26 dollars.

I''ve had mine for 5 months now. Batteries still indicating more than 50%. I don't think battery life will be an issue.
