I typically do two-tank dives (about 40 mins each) will the battery last or do I need a portable charger on the boat? Will an 8gb chip last two hours?

I've used it on back to back dives with no problem, each about 40 min each. The battery has lasted each time for both dives, total of about 1 1/2 hours. I expect it will last about 2 hours continuous recording. I also have the 8 gig chip. Each dive is slightly less than 4 gig. It breaks the video up into 4 to 5 avi files about 500 to 800 megs each. As far as a charger, it charges off a laptop mini usb when downloading. Or you can use a charger with the correct mini usb voltage, 4.75 to 5.25 volts. Unfortunately there is no way to tell the level of charge, just a change in the color of the light. I really like it, granted it is not a GoPro. I mount mine on the left side of my mask strap. If you tilt your head slightly left the regulator bubbles will come out your right side and not get in the video. It picks up fairly good sound also, another good reason to direct the bubbles to the other side. It also picks up sound on the boat and on the surface if any one is close or you can narrate yourself. Practice aiming in a pool with your laptop handy. For me I aim it one click in toward my head, which works out to about 15 to 20 feet in front of me. Remember if you pick up something and want a close up hold it over toward you left eye (in my case I nounted it on my left side). The colors are really good and the depth of fiels is awesome. Also a free tip. Use the little short lanyard and tie off on the mask clamp as a safety strap. I did not, and bumped the release on the way off the boat and it fell off and is floating out there in St Maarten somewhere. I had to buy another one. Sorry I was late answering, been in Jamaica diving!!!

I use a marine battery I bought at Walmart for 70 or 80. I don't use a fish finder. The battery has never run out on me after most of a day pushing a 14 foot rowboat

You will need to put the battery in some sort of case to be safe. The battery will short circuit if accidentally submerged. It could also suffer damage if left loose inside the hull.I use this in my Ocean kayak trident 13. This kayak comes with a mouted battery bag for the mentioned reasons. You may e able to buy the bag and mount it in your kayak.

It doesn't come with a battery. The one I bought would last all day with no problem. It usually had 60% or more remaining after use. Buy a good deep cycle marine battery about $200 And you'll be fine all day.

the best thing i did was purchased the rechargable batteries and then a charger for the recharger that came with the purchase of the boat , you will get more run times out of those batteries and wont have to purchase anymore AA batteries cause you will save in the long run with rechargables and just a charger that will plug -in to the battery pack recharger that comes with the boat, for instants regualor batteries get maybe two and a half charges versis for charges out of rechargables then with regualors you have to purchase more and rechargable just plug-in and then replay again.

Last summer I used this battery to power a 37 lb. thrust trolling motor on and off fishing for 2 to 3 hours at a time with no loss of powere for all speeds. It would come to fully charged afterwards in less than one hour. It was brand new then

These batteries are made for performance, not duration. I use these in my dive lights and I expect about 3 hours out of 2 batteries. If you use these nightly for 10 minutes, a month would be about 5 hours of use. I would say they are giving you pretty good performance.

I bought mine for my kid brand new, once he jumped in the pool with his other one. Haven't had no problem with battery life. But you can take out the battery and buy another if needed. His battery lasts at least 3 days or more if not constantly on it. And I don't think they are making anymore probably just getting rid of what's left of them.

Battery life around 1 to 1 1/2 hours depending on features chosen. Proprietary , but I STRONGLY recommend that you spend another $10 to buy a second battery from 3rd party vendor that has almost double the inherent power. That will last around 3 hrs. With factory battery and sevond battery you get a total of approx 3-4 hrs. In short, don't trust factory battery alone if going on snorkel trip.

I bought this for travel. I was using liquid oxygen before and the small bottles only lasted for about 2 hrs on 3, always ran out when most critical. With the g2 and the 24 cell battery i get 5 hours of use set on 4. I am going to use it for sleeping over the 4th and will know more about comparing it with continuations after that weekend. It lasts forever on house current.

Depends on the active use, but I think is very good. For example, last week I used it 4 hours biking & 2 hours swimming and I still have half the battery. Im very happy about the battery and everything. Its great for multi sport.

Everyone says they get only 5 to 10 minutes on each battery charge. My son has more than 30 minutes of fun time each use. Please ensure you are letting the battery charge all night the night before you have to use it. Great Boat. I will not even want $58.00 for it. More please!

It depends on the settings: in my usual 720p medium quality the battery lasts for ~ 3 hours;in 1080p and high bitrate it will go to about half of this. Please note the camera is not heavy-duty waterproof, it will resist well to any rain or accidental drop in some water but not for scuba-diving. I am using it on a motorcycle for several years (I had Roam 1, Roam 2 and Roam 3) with no problems, but submerge it to more than 1 meter and you will have a dead camera.

Hi I Get About A Hour To An Hour And A Half With This Battery For My Trolling Motor And A Full Day With The Fish Finder Then I Have To Recharge It Just Depends On What I Use It For. Mainly I Use The Battery For The Fish Finder But I Use The Battery As Back Up Power For The Trolling Motor. Other Wise I Just Use A Lawn Mower Battery From Walmart As My Main Power For The Trolling Motor Witch Last A Day. So I Get A Full Day Of Fishing With Back Up Power In Case The Main Battery Dies. And Both Battery's Are Light So It Works Great On My Intex Excursion 4.

I don't know but the Guide says, recharge every 6 mos regardless. This is done by connecting you Diver cable to the pc (p.4). I assume if you need to charge prior to the 6 mo. timeframe, the 3-hr battery charge is the max. I would seek the answer from the seller...As far as I can tell, the Guide doesn't name the manufacturer.

It depends on the capacity of the battery. I've never run it till it dies but always run it on high and it lasts at least an hour. Or two 100ft dives no problem.
