Per Netgear team answered to one of the reviewer, the battery should last about 6 months.

Not sure. I like it I had the same camera for a year and a half and I took about 7000 pictures. I it was getting a little loose on the knob for changing settings and the battery door had to be taped shut so I bought a new one

I take high resolution photos so battery life is shorter than it would be with lower. Right now it is 1/4 used up and has 109 minutes on it. I plan to buy a spare battery and keep one charged all the time.

I have had mine on about 12 hours of use. Still have the factory batteries in it. The camera batteries going dead is the problem I run into when do time lapses.

I want to say about 5 - 6 hours for me. I zoom A Lot but I still get many hours of shooting time, if I shoot a lot of videos that cuts into it also. I always carry an extra battery or two so I don't miss anything.

I can't answer precisely,it lasts loong... :) I recharge it once a week or two,depending on how much I use it.On a vacation, I recharged it first time after 3 days of shooting pics and lots of videos ( I have a 32 gb card in it )... I'm satisfied with battery life!

as a basic answer depends on how much you use it, For me I got the camera for disney and only one day did it die... but that was after 2 days of using it a lot. but it hold a charge for months... which floored me!

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.

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

Sylvia, I bought and installed 2 cameras back in March, in addition to the batteries included with the cameras I am now on my 3rd set of batteries so I would say they last between 3 to 4 months. Hope this helps.

While I have not timed how long it lasts, I can say that it runs a lot longer then the battery that came with my Canon video camera. I shot over three hours of video (over a total of ten hours) at a wedding before I replaced it with the original battery. Well worth the money.

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.

I have taken 250-300 photos in daylight, on one charge. I do not ever remember the camera being heavy on battery usage.

I am only using this camera for underwater photography so it is kind of difficult to determine exactly how long the battery charge last because depends on how much usage per day, temperature, etc. The camera has an automatic SHUT OFF to save charge and it is rated to last for 500 shots. The number of shots may decrease as the battery gets older.

The battery that comes with this camera lasts for about 350 shots on a single charge. The battery charges through the use of the supplied external charger.

I'm not aware of a way to check battery life, but I did run into issues with the main unit (the one on the camera) being turned on by accident in my bag. I first made a small plastic piece that went over the front to avoid accidental button presses, but it is easier to put a small piece of paper between the battery and the holder when it is in the bag. With that in place, the batteries last a long time!

The battery usually lasts about 100 pictures depending on how often I use my zoom and other functions on my camera. Great battery. I have to charge it about once a week and it takes about an hour and a half to fully charge.
