Battery in the camera + 1 spare battery – for example, the single battery.

A guide value, not a guarantee: based on approx. 460 shots using the viewfinder per battery charge (CIPA figure from Sony for the Alpha 3000, a standardised comparison test) or approx. 80 minutes of video (actual movie recording per CIPA (AVCHD FH), according to Sony). According to Sony, the actual runtime depends on the conditions of use; we have not measured these figures with Baxxtar batteries.
