I saw some reviews have charging and duration problems. Seems like the battery dies very fast. What kind of battery does it use?

I'm not exactly sure how many hours that the charge lasts as I never really timed it but, I do know that I have listened to music through my headset for several hours at a time without the charged dying&#9786;

If your battery is completely dead,charge it 6 hours.I found this to be adaquate.Problem is at full charge battery will only last 20-30 minutes.

I've only had it for a week, so no battey problems yet. It lasts my whole 10-hour work day on a full charge. There aren't any instructions included abot replacing the battery, but it looks like someone else responded and said it IS user-replaceable.Li-ion should last for years, but good battery maintenance will help extend the life. For at least the first 10 cycles, I charge it fully, then drain it completely. Don't recharge when it drops to 80%, 60%, etc. The performance doesn't suffer at all even when it is almost dead. That should help you get the most life and best performance.

Well it depends on what you are running on the camera from what I can tell so far. My camera has been broken a few times so I haven't really had a chance to see the life of the battery. The battery that came with the camera was bad. It died within an hour and wouldn't hold a charge. Mind you the camera was purchased DIRECTLY from Olympus. That wasn't good to have a bad camera AND a bad battery. :( I got a replacement and it seems to work fine. But I can't give you a true time length as I haven't tested it yet past an hour or two with general use.

I haven't had any problems with it holding a charge. I have noticed if I don't use it for a few days it doesn't work. So I would suggest charging it every other day or so. If mine is charged it usually lasts a couple hours.

? i use it to there is no charge left in it , then recharge , that takes about 5 hrs to charge , thats why i bought 2 of them , they can run the unit for about an hr , as with all my battery operated tools , i let the battery run out , then completely recharge them , you may have a defective battery , if you get a new 1 , dont try using it , till its completly charged , 5 hours , then use every bit of power left on it before recharging , battery's have memories

My experience is that it will wear down the battery. The best result is to charge it for three hours only and take it out.

Yes, to both questions. Plus the battery last a long time after charging. One problem. When the battery goes bad, you throw it away. No way to replace it from what others have told us.

As per the instructions you charge it for 12 hours then totally drain the battery 10 to 12 times. Not do it once. It has to do with battery memory. Also use a full 110 wall charger for charging and not a weak USB port to charge.

I use it just the way in the pictures and mine doesn't drain fast. There are a lot of ways under the settings to keep that from happening. I just had to play with mine. When I first got the phone the battery would last for at least 3 days before recharging, but now I charge it daily, I did the wrong thing and let it drain all the way down one time and ruined the battery and since then I have had problems.

I had a really hard time with mine - it'd say it was fully charged but then would die super quick. I ended up just returning it.

Get a new battery...I don't think I've ever run mine clear down, it lasts forever. I charge it when I notice its down to about 1/2 and, unless I'm using it a lot, that's about once every 4-6 weeks.

I bought mine almost 1 year ago and it still works great, the charge lasts forever. You must of got a defective one, I would return it for another one.

I charged the battery for about 14 hrs. and the battery only lasted for about 3 hrs. and it was dead. So after three more attempts to charge it and getting the same result, I gave up. I hope this answers you question.

I just used a travel charger. I ended up throwing it away though, the charging time was terrible, my phone was charging for over couple of hours. From dead to maybe 30% in that time

It has a great battery and it does not run dead while just sitting. I will say that taking video will drain the battery a lot faster. I can go months without charging (using it sporadically) but if I use the video it drops a bar within 3-4 minutes
