What is the battery life when streaming only HD video and watching it from an SD card? Thanks

Have watched a whole Netflix movie and a also fair amount of browsing, email, facebook, etc.. Easily lasts through my day.. Not tried the SD card yet, but that should be better for the battery than wifi streaming streaming.. It needs to charge for over couple of hours to gain back full charge, though..

Battery life is pretty good. You can watch a full length movie on a full battery and still have power left in it..I would read some other reviews also..remember it is a 17inch LED and has beefy fans etc. So there are a few things going on..generally really quiet conversely.

I haven't really watched video off the hdd yet, however I have streamed movies off the net. I'd have to say it gives me a good 5 hours and I suspect a little more even after the battery meter goes to red. It doesn't display battery life in % like my Htc Tilt so it's tough to guess.

It really all depends on how you configure the camera. If you have is set to constantly record, you might get a few days. If you have it set for motion detection, it will depend on how much traffic goes by the camera. You can tweak the motion detection settings to get the most recorded video on the SD as possible. I would say at least 5-10 days...

The battery can last anywhere from 5 hours (if you continuously watch Netflix on it like I do lol) to a couple days. It just depends on how often you use it and what you use it for. Hope this helps :)

My experience with battery life is as follows: HD setting at 75 degrees about 2 hours, 20 minutes; HD setting at 50 degrees about 1 hour 53 minutes; at Low resolution at 70 degrees about 2 hours, 43 minutes. Hope this helps.

I just got the 16GB for Christmas. After reading all the battery posts, the first thing I did was charge it fully, then play it until the battery died. I got 20+ hours. I think a lot has to do with how often the screen is "lit". If you're constantly shuffling through, picking songs, adjusting volume etc. i think one would get less life than just playing it like I did (the screen was black most of the time since I wasn't adjusting anything). And of course, i would expect video or games to kill the battery even quicker. That would be a good test, play a video straight through and see the life. I don't have any videos loaded, so I can't really test that.

Hi D. Le, Standard battery life of this unit is 5 hours. IF watching a movie, it could mean that it could be lower then 5 hours. Thanks, PCrush

It just depends. On high settings I can get 2 1/2 hours out of it while watching videos and downloading. On power saver and lowest dim settings I get about 4- 4 1/2 hours out of it. Hope this helps.

Alex, Let me just say that I have recorded very long sessions while turning it on and off repeatedly and never really though, "oh this battery life stinks!" It's simply amazing. Also, I purchsed the 64GB card for it. Basically, I have TONS of movies i have recorded since purchasing it over 2 years ago and STILL haven't pulled them off the card. Good luck.... Case

Well i can tell you that it has last for me from 2 to 2.5 hours but on a heavy use, what i mean by heavy use is streaming 1080 HD video from Netflix or Crunchyroll. My mom playing on Facebook using those big resource claimers like Candy crush or some slot machines ones.

Maybe 5-7 seconds(never timed it) from powering up to recording.Almost seamless looping into the next video file. After checking the owners manual. It states that its capable of using cards between 512mb and 32gig. Hope this helps..

Depends very much on what you are running. Using WIFI and doing typical work activities such as email, web browsing, word, etc., I have seen over 9 hours. If you're watching a movie streamed via 4GLTE the battery life does suffer. I have not timed it, but 6 hours seems pretty close under those contitions.

It depends on the capacity of the SDHC card (sold separately) you have in it. It may vary somewhat depending on the brand of card you use, but a 4G card (which I believe is the smallest available) will hold about 1 hour of video, and a 16G will hold a little over 4 hours.

The device has a plug in power supply. I have streamed from an Android phone and iPad, and both exhibit normal battery life, the same as streaming to any other device.

I'm able to get about 25 minutes of 1080p HD video plus 400 photos on one set of 2650mAh rechargeables. For just video, should be 2+ hours easily. More if you turn off your LCD display. You can get beyond the 4GB limit by using the CHDK firmware (google CHDK for more info). CHDK will add a whole lot more functionality than that to your camera.
