A:Answer The battery life depends on how and how much you are using it, of course. I took my camera on a five day river rafting trip, taking close to 300 pictures and about 20-30 minutes of video, and I only had to recharge it with a portable USB battery pack once. So I was getting 2-3 days use on each charge, using it often. If you charge it and don't use it, It'll last for months without losing much charge. If you don't think you'll have access to electricity on a long trip, either get another backup battery or just bring along a small portable USB battery pack.
