How long does the battery last when recording?

Hi Justin, I didn't check exactly how many hours, but roughly, I could take movie picture far more than 2 hours. I hope this answer may be helpful for you.

Check your settings, or batteries. I use it all of the time and have it recording anywhere from 4 hours to 12 hours. I do not have that problem. I have three of these recorders and when I need another one I will buy this brand.

With a full battery charge, you can film up to three hours (180 minutes) using the battery that comes with the camera. I have recorded well over 2 hours of footage at one time, and still had battery charge left. If you're not going to use the camera for awhile, charge the battery and then take it out of the camera for storage - this will reduce the amount of time you will have to recharge the next time you use it. I've never bought replacement batteries, since I've never needed more than 3 hours of battery life. The last time I looked at them, there were two options - a lower capacity battery (60 minutes, I think) that was about $20, and a 180 minute battery that was about $45-50. I would suggest buying the Samsung brand batteries, as I've heard that other brands do not work with this camera. Supposedly Samsung has something in the firmware that will recognize an off-brand battery and refuse to use it. I have not tested this, so I don't know if it's true.

Depends on the SD card. I bought a 32 gig memory (Transcend brand off Amazon) for it and get around 5.5 hours of recording time.

I haven't timed the duration of the recording, but after an estimated 2 hours ether the battery died or my card was full. I believe I was using a 2, 4 or 8 GB card. I believe it will record continuous if left plugged in.

Hi John, if you take video, it will last for 2 to 4 hours, you can buy a spare battery at the same time. Feng Te

I find that at full charge the batteries last more than 4 hours. I think it is a great idea to keep a spare charged. Especially if you are editing or taking video as well.

About 45 minutes (there is no low resolution mode, it's always HD). Yes, the recording time is dependent on the battery.

a few days if you are shooting pictures only. Video eats up the battery time much faster. It recharges very quickly.

The typical recording time is 45-55 minutes and typical playback time is 105-135 minutes, each with a fully charged battery, so the actual depends on the mix of recording vs. playback which you actually do. My guess is that most users will get an actual total probably closer to 1 hour or less per full charge.

You will record video for as long the battery lasts. For example, in steady level flight, your battery will last for about 20 mins. Under other flight conditions, you will get about 10 mins. If you want to extend your flight/video recording time, you should get a long lasting battery.

Thanks very much. I am hoping it gets at least 30 minutes of recording time with a full battery charge.

I think it has a 16-hour battery life, depending on use, and it can record up to 16 hours, supports 8 GB micro SD card. I have noticed that the battery life shortens after charging on an almost full battery, so only charge after the battery dies completely.

I used the camera on video setting for a full day of mountain biking with intermittent recording and no issue. As long as you don't spend a lot of time reviewing video and then recording some more the battery charge should last several hours without a problem.

around 20-25 minutes, no matter how big your memory card is. It uses temperature sensing to cut off the video camera and prevent overheating. The camera will tell you exactly how many minutes and seconds it will record, before you press the record button.
