I put the battery on my camara and when I turn it on it only last 10 seconds, Is it the battery or the camara?

Hi, I'm not sure but the battery is the easiest place to start. is it charged with the right charger ? It should take a while to charge the battery (generally a couple of hours) if it charges faster, it probably is the battery. you have to replace rechargeable batteries periodically.

This is a typical symptom of a battery gone bad. You can expect maybe 4 or 5 good years from a Canon battery (maybe a bit more depending). The T1i came out about 4 years ago so it could well be time for a new battery. If you're using a generic battery, in my experience, it might die after as little as 1 year (these often aren't quite the great bargain they appear to be).

I haven't taken much video with my camera. However, I have left my camera on by accident and taken multiple photos on several different days without the battery going dead. I think it has a good, long battery life. Not sure if this helped, but told you what i know about the battery.

I received my battery on May 15th. I take a lot of photos, and it just needed to be recharged, on June 10th. Plus if you leave the battery in the camera, it will wear down the battery. Hope this has helped you Thomas.

I have two sizes of batteries - the large one can take up to 2 hours if it close to total discharge. The smaller battery (the one that came with my camcorder) takes about an hour.

Depending on what resolution and frames per second you have it set for, the battery can last anywhere from 8 hours to 3 hours on a single charge. The camera battery is quick to charge though so high quality video is always an option.

I switched to the Lithium batteries. Then change your camera settings to this type batteries.

The batteries last a long time. I just checked a battery I charged two weeks ago and it showed 295 min remaining. I guessing this also answers your second question - Yes, the battery time shows up in the viewfinder.

The battery usually lasts me about an hour filming in 3d mode, and when I bought my camera, amazon sold generic replacement batteries and a charger for fairly cheap..under 15 dollars for a charger and two batteries at that time, if I remember correctly. Hope this helps :)

Based on the size of the battery I was hoping it would last 4-5 times longer than the battery that came with the camcorder. I did find out through trial and error to leave the battery charging even after the light on the charger indicates the battery is charged. At minimum I charge for 5 hours (and overnight whenever possible). Even so the battery lasts between 45-60 minutes.

Sorry can`t help. I got the batteries they worked great. Two days later I lost the view screen. "I am kind of greedy" keeping the batteries just in case we find another cam the same as we had. My bad it took so long to respond. T.B.

The camera uses it's own rechargeable battery. Battery life has been really good for me, which is a surprise because most that come with their own batteries tend to die quickly. Of course, I do shoot quite a bit thru the viewfinder. I also purchased some off-brand replacement batteries for spare swaps off Amazon and they were very affordable and work well.

Double check to make sure it's not on "no flash" (lightning bolt with circle and slash through it) which youcan change by pressing the circle with the ok in the middle. If that doesn't work, turn the camera off, take the battery out,and then put back in and turn on. also make sure your camera is well charged. Otherwise, get service.

It depends on how sensitive you program the camara. There is a delay but I've had my camara/video clips run for as long as almost 2 minutes. I suppose if you had two or more camaras strategically placed it could compensate for delay.

I don't know the exact times but it isn't that long. Batteries that come bundled with camcorders typically aren't that great. I'm getting an external charger (otherwise you have to charge it inside the camcorder) and an additional battery so I won't ever find myself without power.

I have experienced the exact same problem and ended up having to buy a new battery. I would stay away from this battery if I were you. It worked well for about a month and then it wouldn't do anything in my camera. A waste of money for sure
