I usually get several hundred pictures on a charge. I did buy an external charger and two spare batteries (from "Big Mike" on Amazon, very affordable), but rarely find that I need to swap batteries during a day of shooting.

I would buy a back up for an all day shoot. Battery will last about three hours if cut off and on.

Yes. These batteries are pretty small and it's been my experience that that last about one photo shoot session. Then they need to be charged. Go to Fijifilm's web site and see which charger you'll need for the battery your using. Buy a charger and a spare battery and have one battery always on charge ready for use. Your manual should have had this information.

Have used it for mostly video and the charge would last several days. Didn't have any problems with battery.

1) no. 2) I have used a battery pack and it charges the camera's battery just fine 1-4 hours and during this downtime you cannot use the camera till it is finished charging. After my purchase I contacted the company and asked several questions also made a few recommendations as a customer that could make the camera more user friendly etc. No response! I am currently researching for another camera that will fit my needs and use this one as a backup or spare.

Connect it to your computer to charge it. Than it will work on it battery for about two hours.

I bought the battery and charger for a floor model camcorder i returned within a week. I don't know if it works on your camera, but if you want the barely used battery and charger I bought I would consider it a favor if you took it off my hands...free of charge. Just let me know where to send it and I'll drop it in the mail. If you don't want it, no worries.

If you have the option I would buy a bundle, you will get everything you need to charge your camera and start shooting the same day. The unit doesn't come with memory card or any extra items you might want.

The battery last two hours (recording).The quality of pictures is ok but isn't comparable with the dslr.A monitor can be attached via HDMI port

A lipo battery pack, you can get them at any remote control hobby store or on Amazon

I dont know about a battery pack, but it'll do a standard gopro hero 3+ battery in about an hour in direct sunlight.

It really depends on the battery size. But you can usually get a lipo charged within an hour.

Any battery with an xlr connector should work to power the light, you just need to make sure the battery is big enough. Here is an example of one, but tons of companies make them http://www.amazon.com/Lobster-Sports-External-Battery-Pack/dp/B006BMOEGW/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1411742614&sr=8-5&keywords=battery+pack+with+xlr+connector You can go to www.bhphoto.com to see a bigger selection of options. Or visit any professional camera/video store.

When I am on a trip and making lots of pictures it will last most of one day but if I am just making pictures occasionally it will last for days or weeks depending on how often I use it. I am sorry but can't answer how many hours. I always carry a backup battery with me in case it runs out of power. It does keep its charge longer than off-brand batteries of equal size and is now the only brand I use.

Hey a big Maxe battery and some other options also available that last around 3 to 4 hours, but take a good long time to charge too. Also try the Atomos Recorder which works as a monitor cum external recorder if you have the budgets. Great combination with a 5D Mark III with the full HDMI out.
