How is the battery and can you buy a extra battery?

I bought this for my daughter, and asked her. She said the battery life is very good. We haven't shopped for an extra battery so can't answer that part.

I bought an extra battery, but the battery is quick to charge (a few hours) and lasts a LONG time. In fact, I have lost the extra battery recently and will not bother buying another one. Even in the cold the battery is good for at least a few weeks, and that is even with my kids using it for the occasional extended photo-taking session.

The battery seems to be working fine. I don't know how long it will last but so far it is working fine.

Mine is near 3 years old. Battery life is certainly shortened now (probably 10-12 minutes run time) but zero complaints about its performance. Gets used a few minutes every few days. I have been guilty of leaving it on charge a few days over the years. Certainly been a good value so far. Will likely built my own battery for it when the run time is unusable.

You can purchase an external USB/AC Charger to charge an extra battery which is a good to have around.

The camera itself came with a Sony battery, the extra battery was 3rd party (in my case Vivitar). I can say it works well and holds a charge as well as the Sony.

Worth getting extra battery. Replacing them is easy. The kind of battery should be listed in the product description.

Good question. I bought this battery replacement because it was considerably cheaper. Unfortunately, I must report that you most often get what you pay for. This battery did NOT hold a charge for more than 1/2 of the day, and has been replaced with the $40 version. The $40 version gives me a day and a half - A great improvement! I should note that I'm a pretty heavy data user and I'm sure that affects battery life considerably. In short, this battery is ok as a spare in an emergency, but not so great as a primary for moderate to heavy usage.

It only comes with one battery but you can purchase an extra. We like ours a lot because it is so articulated.

Yes, but you should buy at least one extra battery, just to be on the same side.

I believe it's worth the money because you get an extra battery. No down time!

not very long, but it is OK. What I do is to buy some additional battery for it; I have 4 battery, I think it is too many. 2 battery will be good enough.

Actually, I would be happy if I could find a spare battery for $50 or so. But $150?! When I can buy another unit for the same price? Weird. I'm not seeing a lot of support from B&D; for these units, which is a shame since they seem well-designed otherwise.

Yes & an extra battery. Mine has been stored for some months. I pulled it out on Thanksgiving & the spare battery still had a full charge :-)
