Whats the battery life if I use the ASAP settings. I want this to run for 24 hours. Has someone tried this?

Battery life should be OK for that. Their manual is online at brinno.com and it lists one day which roughly corresponds with my experience. You will need to test to see what size of memory card you will need based on your quality settings.

Yes, it lasts way more that 24 hours. Of course you cant expect amazing results when you buy the 0.5$ batteries. I used this for more than two months without changing the batteries

The specific battery life depends on what you're doing but it is incredible. I've had my Brinno since last fall and used it a lot, including a 24 hour stint out in sub freezing weather. It STILL has the orginal batteries in it and hasn't lost any charge apparently. Note that I've never used it on ASAP, but my experience says go for it!

Hi, I have not used it that long, but so far, the battery is holding up. Have not tested it on an all day run!Sorry I can't be of more help!

I've run mine for over 2 hours but never until the battery ran out. I hope that helps.

I also bought a refurb and love it. I went into the settings and turned brightness way down but its still seems plenty bright. You can check in settings and see which programs are the biggest drain. Turning off Bluetooth will also help. I think companies always overestimate how much battery life they can achieve (they probably measure the life by how long you can listen to mp3's continuously). I don't think you should be concerned.

I have the same problem with the batteries not lasting. I did an informal test with new alkaline batteries and after 2 hours 7 minutes of solid on it goes to the power saving setting. If you turn it off and back on it will go on high for about 1 second then goes back to the power saving mode. Not happy. This isn't what I expected from Mag-Lite and it will probably be my last.

It runs solely on the battery, but the battery seems to be lasting way longer than the stated 3 hours of run time. I know I've forgotten to turn it off several times and it is still running hours later. I'm not at all unhappy with the battery duration.

I have run it for about 6 hrs before on a fully charged battery. Sometimes 7 depending on how often it is used. I keep a spare fully chargedbattery on hand just in case.

I've yet to kill my battery . I got it down to 3 percent the other night after play games intensely plus some Facebook and after it reached 3 percent I quit play games and listened to Pandora for an hour and it went to 2 percent and I plugged in up to charge . I'd say 8 to 10 hours just guessing give or take depending on the individual .

Did you follow the instructions and let it charge for 24 hours before first using it? I have my MBP set to "Better Battery Life" and sleep/turn off display after 15 minutes, in Energy Preferences. After watching 75 minutes of video over WI-FI on battery, and Bluetooth turned on for the mouse, I have about 30% battery life left. I don't think that's quite as good as the Apple battery when it's new, but I can live with it.

I did not. Charged it fully and then used it till less than 7%. I'm averaging 4 days of usage... a mild user (wifi & bluetooth off). Bought a second battery so that I can charge one while the other is being used.

I bought one to! It runs slow, need to charge after ever use. If you don't use for a day or so, the power goes down. You have to hold the on and off for 2 seconds. Some thing to remember, "Never over charge." It should take about 20 minute. But if you leave it over night! You'll burn the battery! I'd hope this can help. As I have had this problem on other products!

I have tried many different settings. FPS, GPS on/off, what is displayed on the dashboard, sensors on/off, etc. NOTHING has changed the time available! 2:20. I have two cameras each with a backup battery. Thats four total batteries. 2:20 is all I have ever gotten give or take 5-10 minutes.

that is a loaded question chad as it depends on how many radios you have on at the moment(3g, wifi, 4g, etc.), your screen brightness and CPU usage. The default application that comes with the phone under Settings &gt; Power; states that it will last about 6-7 hours from the way i have been using it today. However this can be drastically reduced say if I were to turn on wifi or 4g and play a online multiplayer game with 100% screen brightness I would bet only 2 to 3 hours max. These batteries are small both physically and the phone was made what like 3-4 years ago? So I have two batteries one charging at home in a wall outlet and one in my phone and remember the technology in these batteries it is best for you to top them off with energy instead of draining them 100% and then recharging them.

A good way to test if there is something wrong may be to run it with "normal" use for a few charge cycles. For example: don't watch videos, have just one Gmail account active, limit web browsing, turn off Facebook and Twitter interval sync (huge drains in my experience), and answer calls and SMS messages as normal. If you get 30+ hours doing this, there is likely nothing wrong with the battery, suggesting your particular level of "exteme" use simply may be ill-advised when needing your phone to run for an entire day on one charge.

Hi, battery is okay more than 5 hours actually on standby, but when gps is on, am not sure because i have not tried running for 5 hours. I might try using it in my bike and will give you feedback. You can look for reviews of professional athletes, i've seen some very good reviews. Its cheap and i love it.

we are getting great battery life on the A2 Silver unit. Don't know if it is 12 hours, but so far it is amazing and we are using bright screen. So far, happy with the battery life.

It only lasts a 2 - 2 1/2 hours MAX for me. And I have my computer on the settings to maximize the battery life. Very disappointing.
