How many shots can you take with the built in battery in the transmitter??? I mean, the battery life...

Since I purchased this, I have taken thousands of shots without having yet to replace the watch type battery in the transmitter.

Copy states it comes with three pads, each lasts 4 hrs. The batteries (they come with it) last a total of 12 hrs.Simple math tells me the whole shootin-match last 12hrs total. Even if you used it for one weekend, dinner on the patio three times, it's kaput by Monday morning, pretty much. I'll stick with a dab of insect repellant behind each ear and save some money! (and check my yard for hidden standing water, they say a mosquito can lay eggs in as little as a tablespoon of water.)

I have 4 transmitters that work just fine now for several months and are 2 each frequencies I use. I get 3-5 weeks on a charge and 5-6 weeks on regular batteries that are also in remotes. I use them all a lot. I love them and have not had any problems to this date.

Im note shure, yet... Ive been using it just for floading so I cant tell you how many shots on a charge. I dont like the way to insert 4 AA bateries: most of times its difficult to handle with the cover of the batteries compartment.

Hi there, the transmitter doesn't have a battery,it uses your camera's battery power when you attach the transmitter. The remote control uses a AAA battery. Hope this answers your question and HAVE A NICE DAY.

Yes, that is correct. It comes with 2 batteries but remember they will sometimes need to be charged. Check them out before you set out on the first "shoot"

Prior to my purchase I read a lot of negative comments about the battery life. Personally, up to this point, I have not been disappointed. I did purchase 2 spare batteries, but so far, I haven't had to use them. I don't shoot for hours at a time, but still, off and on, it's not bad.

I use a 3S 450mAH Li Po on both the transmitter and receiver. Depending on how long you want to transmit you might want a larger battery because it uses quite a bit more power but both will work fine on 11.1 volts

I'm not really sure - I ran mine for three weeks straight and the batteries ran out before the card got full. I was shooting at one minute per shot.

The description on the Amazon page is incorrect - it will only take a maximum of 99 shots, not 399. Or, you can set to infinity in which case it will keep shooting until you tell it to stop. I find the 99 shot limit a little frustrating. For example, I'd like to set it up to take shots every 5 seconds for two hours and then leave the house for work. But if I set it to infinity, it will shoot until I get back home, and if I set it to 99, it will only shoot for a little over 8 minutes. Seems like an obvious feature to be missing, but I'm not sure if it's common in other remotes like this.

Do you have new batteries in both? Sometimes the battery dies if you accidentally leave it on or don't take the batteries out of the transmitter.

its difficult to say how long batteries last, as it can be variable and dependent upon the number of shots requiring flash, the number of times you turn on-off the camera between shots, and the amount of focusing and telephoto activities. I do use rechargeable batteries (I'm currently using 4-year old 2450 mAH NiMH batteries and easily shoot 150+ pics). With good new batteries, one should get considerably more battery life!

Suggest that you send end an e-mail to the seller. She is very helpful, and there are two kinds of batteries, one in the transmitter and the other in the receiver. Hope this helps,

The charge takes less than two hours after the initial charge. My batter lasted me almost two weeks of non continuous shooting, so all in all probably 8-10 hours of serious continuous shooting. However if you are shooting a lot of indoor shots, it might last less as the live mode seems to burn battery a bit more than auto.

I found the battery lasted all day - taking around 200-250 shots, with perhaps a dozen or so also with flash. I would assume it would last a bit less with more flash use, but I was fine with how long it lasted. I plan on getting another battery just for backup, but for most folks, one battery should be fine.

The small battery that comes with it lasts a couple of hours. I only use it with the larger battery. I have several of them. Two of the larger batteries always get me through a heavy day of shooting.
