is it new and never been used,and how many hours will it hold a charge on a single charge

New I'm not sure of the length of time, estimating 3-4 hours with a full charge. This is for our older camcorder & thought we would never find a battery replacement anywhere & there was a tape still inside the camera, but thanks to Amazon we now have the missing tape, a camcorder which was my husband's first and after all this time works just like the day it was bought

It appears to be new and took a charge well. I have not done any recording with it yet but it has been sitting in the camera in the case for probably 6 months and still showing over half charge on the meter.That is good because one I bought from Batteries Plus went dead after two weeks of non use.

A new battery fully charged should record at least 2 hours continously. However if you let it set in camera for some period of time it will affect the recording time. I have two batteries of which I fully charge both when I plan a recording session. This enables you to have peace of mind in that when the first battery is discharged you have a backup to use while recharging the first battery. I know this is a little expensive but, being prepared to capture the moment makes it worth while.

I have only charged it once...before Thanksgiving. Left it overnight. The stock battery lasted 20 minutes. This lasted Wed - Sat with intermittent use.

It didn't say that it wasn't new when i purchased the battery. I assumed that it was new. It sure doesnt work like a new battery though. It is better (slightly) than a dying battery which is what a had at the time. So, if you looking for a slight upgrade for the cost; it is a good deal.

I threw mine out because I could never get it to charge again after the first time. The first time, you should charge it for about 12 hours.

Full charging take more than 16 hrs. In single charge it does last for 7 days

Is yours brand new? I charge mine with the cable that came with it plugged to a wall charger and I ran a 5 hour marathon with it and it was fine and still had more battery.

I am unable to determine the model of the battery, because it's soldered in place. This leads me to believe that the battery is rechargeable. Will probably keep time for between 2 and 4 years, that's my best guess.

4-6 hours of continual use when new. My son's is several years old now and now needs to stay plugged in. It comes with a car charger and wall charger though so it's not a huge problem.

It comes ready to go; brand new item-no refurb. Batt time 3-4 hours straight use depending on what you are doing.

Could not find anything in any documentation that came with the battery. However, my experience is that the battery operates slightly over 2 hours before it needs re-charging.

You can still buy brand new replacement batteries for these for about $75. On a new battery, this machine will run 3-4 hours on a single charge. When the battery gets old, as in any laptop, it won't hold for more than a few minutes. But that has nothing to do with this particular model of computer. That is true of any computer and any rechargeable battery system. Depending on which one you get, you might get 30 minutes or 3 hours of batter life. It's impossible to know. Ask the seller. If the batter is less than a year old,you will get very good battery life out of it ... at least 2 hours. You can still buy brand new replacement batteries for these for about $75.

Never had a problem with batt life, longest usage about 4-5 hrs but i charge it after that with left over current in it.

Not certain, but I believe they mean it's not a refurb. I've had mine for a few months now and haven't had any issues. Battery holds a charge as expected.

I have used it for 6 hours, and it still had a charge. Don't know average, I charge it after use.

I have charged the battery maybe 4 times now. I would say it lasts for a good 6-8 hours of on and being used time.

Mine came with a charge on the battery already. It lasted a long time. It takes about 8 hours for the device to discharge and fully re-charge once plugged in.

Honestly, I have no idea. I charged when I initially got it, used it probably all of 2 hours and put it away and never used it again.
