Same here, this should be fun, especially considering the wealth of info at Chuck Lohr's 808 webpage, cheers all!

"A charge lasts about 50 minutes at room temperature. Marcus from Finland says the battery lasts 8 minutes at -7C at open air and riding a moped at 40km/h."

Taken from: http://www.chucklohr.com/808/

I assume that's 50mins when recording, which is amazing when you consider the size and weight of the thing. I take specs in ebay listings with an ocean full of salt, ever since I saw a million watt car amplifier...

I'm tempted to glue one to the back of the rear view mirror on my car, if the battery does go flat, I could always get a 12v-5v USB car charger, and with any luck it may even be able to record when the USB cable is connected and charging....

EDIT: Thanks for posting the ebay link too, as all te ebay links on the chucklohr site have expired...

Id be rather happy if this was the case

Then something like this would charge it quite a few times.

Ive not seen anything suggesting whether this is the case or not.

BloodyL · 13 Mar 2010 at 23:43

dante6491 · 13 Mar 2010 at 23:53

No not intended

I have no doubt that something like that would charge the camera, but not all devices that charge from USB allow you to use them at the same time. I've ordered one, and hoping to be able to charge it while recording...

Ideally I'd like to having it running from the cars 12v while it's recording, as Li-ion and Li-po batteries to not like to be fully discharged...

Jacob (: · 14 Mar 2010 at 00:28

Well ive sent an email to the guy that has the http://www.chucklohr.com/ site to ask him to clarify whether they can or not!

Hopefully its possible

GreenMint · 14 Mar 2010 at 00:31

Ordered one from that auction too

Should be interesting anyways! have a spare 8gb Micro SD card laying around so can't really lose out!
