Stock XH-A1 Battery Life

[Marc Villafan]

Ok, i've never really checked to how long the stock XH-A1 battery actually lasts. Does anybody know?

Thanks,
Marc.

About 5 1/2 hours.

Also, the 970 will last for approximately forever.

Depends on what the camera is doing, zooming, 48volts on, LCD on etc. but IME the stock battery will cover the average day out shoot. Also got the 970 and wrote the charging times on each one in case I get caught away from the charger. Happened a couple of times.

Cheers.

I second this. I'm able to get a solid 4 hours straight from the stock battery, and with a cheap off-brand (Bestbatt.com) 970, I'm able to get well over 8 hours. All of this is with the LCD open, phantom power on, and using the zoom fairly constantly.
