How good is battery life on high? My LED Lenser MT7 EATS through batteries, so I'm giving up on it to look for nocturnal wildlife

I wish I could be specific about exact usage rates, but I use the light sporadically and do not keep track. I use Duracell Alkalines and so far have had no unusual usage issues, and I am still in fact on the original set of batteries.

I have only had mine, a P7 for a few days so I really can't say how long the batteries will last. It uses regular alkaline batteries so they are cheap to replace.

I use AAA rechargeable batteries. Use the flashlight numerous times every day. Don't have any idea how much actual on time tho. I normally charge the battery's once a week. Great light for my frequent use.

It should be longer than 1 day in the field. I say this because I've left mine on at least 3 times set for a bright sunny day approximately 4 hours each time and haven't needed to change the battery yet. I go with other rifles and do the same also carrying spare batteries just in case. Just speculating, but I believe the long battery life is due to just a single dot illumination where other scopes light up larger reticles. Hope this helps you. I live this little scope.

I used my scope for our 2 weeks of rife season and turned it on every morning and left it on for the whole day. I had no problem with battery life for that duration.

I found the picture quality to be quite sharp and clear. Not sure about battery life I do know we had it out all day and evening on the boat and in and out of the water and no problem with it running down. But I always take the batteries out when the camera isn't in use after the day is done.

I think so. Like I said, I use mine mostly when hunting. When I hunt in the mornings I try to get to my spot an hour before first-light, which usually means a good hour of hiking through the woods in the dark. I have no complaints about it whatsoever.

I too have this concern. Though it's hard to gauge because people all seem to have different standards about what good battery life is. So please, those of you who reply, be sure to specify in some quantifiable terms how long your batteries lasted, what kind you were using, and whether you used the flash or battery saving settings/techniques. Be as specific as possible. Thanks.I see posts by people who were thrilled that they could take 'almost a whole day' worth of pictures. I have a bulky sony DSC-S50 that will take pictures all day for a week without recharging so I'm not sure if I should be impressed by this for a small camera or not. Depends on how many pictures are being taken on that almost whole day. I too have this concern.

I would think so, but I haven't opened mine up. In the two years I've been using them, battery aging hasn't been an issue. At any rate, there are three screws holding the lens in and I bet taking it off would reveal the guts and a battery that might be changed. I will look at the innards of one of them later on and let you know what I discover.

If you use the higher lumen alot the battery life is not as long as the lower lumen use of this light, have had mine almost a year and I use it alot and have not had to change batteries yet, great light for a great price.

This is an amazing light. i use mine mostly for middle of the night photography in old buildings. i have had it onmore than once, for 4 hrs with no noticeable drain on the batteries. i use rechargeable batteries and have plenty on hand.

I try to not turn it on in bright light, I've heard it could damage them. I love the binocs, we use them to find hogs. Not as clear as more expensive ones but good for the price.

try and remove battery, clean the lens, then place fresh batteries back. test in well lit area on a 20-30 yard target. good luck

I don't know the exact battery life but all of the reviews I have read that compare it to other headlamps have said that the battery life is great. Of course, this depends on how you use it. If it is on the highest setting the whole time it will not last as long as when it is dimmed. I have taken mine on several camping trips and have yet needed to replace the batteries.There is a feature that locks the headlamp so it won't accidently turn on in your pack which helps save battery as well.

I used the 9x lithium batteries on a recent African safari and thought the battery life was very good. I took 1500 photos and changed the batteries only once,with life still left on the second set.

Hi ... I hope I can express myself correctly in English. These lights are a good choice price / value. It never will be a "NiteRider", but have a good CREE LED and I can say that: Its very good quality. Once a week, I Ride MTB in the night in a Venezuelas rain forest (Its Cool!!! and veeeeery darkness). The Light NEVER FAILED. Battery Life: - 3 to 3.5 hours on medium mode -1.5 Hours in high mode - 2.5 hours in strobe (I only recommend this mode for city ride) recommendation: 1. - As long as you're not moving (mtb or trekking) is better off the light. So you avoid wearing down the battery and not so hot the lamp. Two. - Usarl light medium mode

Hi Jeff, I have used this camera for over 3 years now. While I am not pleased with the amount of battery it uses it clicks very nice photos so I am ready to ignore that bit. On the battery saving aspect, I use the viewfinder as it uses a lot less battery in my observation. Also getting the big fat lens out and the Zoom in-out takes the most of out of the batteries. I typically use viewfinder and leave the camera on when I am walking around and clicking photos. This way the camera consumes less battery as it doesn't have to retract the lens in-out every time I switch it on-off. I just use the viewfinder and leave the camera on... hope this helps

Depending on how much you use flash, delve frequently into menus, etc., you can usually expect pretty decent battery life. I've gone a whole day shooting over 200 exposures without depleting the battery entirely.
