How long do the batteries last for video recording?

My daughter's batteries last for multiple outtings, such as several trips to the zoo. I was very pleasantly surprised at how long one set of batteries will last!

About an hour with regular batteries, 2+ hours with Energizer Lithium Max. The rechargeable batteries don't last long at all because they only start out at about 1.2 volts.

I haven't used the camera much. I bought it for others to use, so I'm not an expert. But from what I've seen, my guess is that it will take a couple of hours of video. If the charge life is a concern, I suggest getting a second battery.

Most of the time, prior to a recharge, 30 minutes or so. I find it best to have the camera plugged in for any lengthy video recording.

It is Canon's LP-E6 battery and is rechargeable. For shooting photos, it'll last something along the lines of 300-500 shots depending on how you shoot. I don't shoot video, so I couldn't tell you how long they will hold out for video.

It lasts longer than any other camera I have ever used. I charge it to the full extent for a couple hours and it will last me for the month on regular use,(I use it a couple times each week). I have charged it and taken it on weekend trips as well where it is in constant use while I am sightseeing,(I won't shut it off for hours,) and when we get home from the trip it still has at LEAST one bar. I've realized I have never even had an occurrence where I had to question whether it was going to die or not. I have not however, used it to record video for long periods of time, so I have no idea on how it lasts for recording. Hope that helps!

Battery can last two months, depends on recording times. The recording is timeless, as you could record once per day, or once per second

The batteries will last more than long enough for you. But what I do is plug it into the wall, and I can record all day. This camera includes a decently long plug. On the lowest video quality and excellent sound quality, the image is still sharp, and a single 16G card will hold over 5 hours of sessions. I record, go home, and unload the videos onto a secured external hard drive. Playback directly from the device to HDMI is also a great feature for reviewing sessions. The stand included is perfectly fine but very small. To get the best wide angle I use a taller stand. Best insurance investment ever. The batteries will last more than long enough for you.

With fully charged inbuilt battery you can record 20 - 30 mins of video. Its work on USB power. For a longer recording you need USB power on.

What will really drain the battery is zooming in and out a lot during video. But if you just video recording without using the zoom a lot, it will last quite a bit.

I have the same problem. If you are recording continuously for more than 15 minutes, the camera heats up and begins to say that you're running out of power. At 20 minutes, it shuts off. The batteries aren't out of power - the camera is just not designed for continuous shooting.

Easily a day, maybe 2. Video will kill the battery. It also depends on how long you look at the pics on the back of the camera.

Yes, the unit will run on the battery. If the unit is on continuous recording, the power last about 4 hours. If it is in stand-by, motion detection mode, you should be good for 10-12 hours.

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.

Depends which mode they are set to. Mine was taking 10 second videos & died after 5 months or so. The batteries are cheap on Amazon, but depends how remote your camera is & where are you.

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

Manual says 10 hours with battery. SD card determines hours or actual video record time. 32gb would last many hours.
