How is the battery life, planning on a trip to Peru and will be hiking for several days with no electricity will this be an issue?

We find it to be very acceptable and can be charged via micro USB with just about any power source.

It depends on how often you will use it . If used a lot i don't think the battery will last for several days.

I have gone a week and battery is fine but I would invest in a small charger to take with you just so you don't stress over it and not miss ant great pictures.

It will depend of how you are using it, for normal use like internet browsing it last up to 6 hours, but for gaming or video I could experience 4 hours at full brightness. Overall the battery life it's very very good

I didn't experience the high battery drain mentioned in the other answer but, the connection does wiggle some, enough to cause dismay. I found this device satisfactory ONLY when it sits still on a nearby table. When in a pocket, it's range is severely limited. I moved on to a different device with no regrets.

I used it for hunting in 2 5 hr hikes per day for 4 days never changed the batteries. as far as the rest not sure what your asking you have to remember this is a very simple no frills gps it will get you their and back once you learn to use it go to a park and walk around first to see how it works.

Thanks for the reply. I won't worry about leaving mine plugged in when I'm out during the day. It takes very little time to charge so I've always hesitated to plug it in and then leave the house. Like you, I don't have to shave 24/7.Thanks again.

I have had no issues with the processor. Actually even with the battery, i managed to 4.5hrs on power save. Its a decent purchase i think.

Battery life is about three hours on constantly . I know this because I used it this long while recently tracking a deer in the rain

My battery life lasts quite a while. I was watching a live stream video and it lasted 4 - 6 hours. On a regular basis, just checking email, surfing the net, etc I only have to charge every two or three days.

That depends entirely on things like how big are the lightbulbs and how frequently and how long you intend listen/watch radio/tv. It is intended for emergency use, or for temporary camping. It would not be a "permanent" solution for not having electrical power, even in the jungles of Peru, I'm afraid.

Will vary, depending on your quality setting (i.e.. standard vs HD). In standard mode, I get 2 to 2 1/2 hours (depending on if you do a lot of zooming in and out). Starting the day with fresh charges on both this and the smaller battery (for a backup) that came with the camera, I didn't have any trouble when I went to Europe earlier this year. Stayed out all day long sightseeing, and never worried about running out of power.

I don't know how much you weigh. I am 215 lbs. On flat ground I can go 15 miles and not worry. Hills change that. I do not worry if I am going 10 miles. The LiFePO4 battery gets about 80% charge in 2 hours. Believe me that after 10 miles I need that much rest.

No, you can just bring the power cord when you travel. That's what I did while gone for 4 or 5 days but didn't ever use the cord due to great battery life.

I may not be the best test case for this but I can say it lasted me the entire week on vacation and had 20% of the battery life left after 7 days. I probably used it much less than the average user so I am sure your results will vary depending on usage. I would guess it would last at least the entire day under normal use.

I think it lasts a good long time. And I use it quite a bit with the WiFi function. And recently started using it remotely controlled with my phone. I went on an 8 day vacation to Turkey and Greece, and I don't think I had to recharge it at all. So, at least the battery life is good enough that it doesn't stand out in my memory as being a hassle.

Battery life is fair on the low setting. We ran ours only at night on a recent camping trip and it lasted three full nights and part of a fourth before quitting.

Battery is fine, depends on your activity (Mail, internet or... Final Cut Pro). For me (mail & internet) is about 4h.For the rest no problems at all.

Battery life is pretty good. I like it because it is rechargeable. Just plug it into an outlet.
