Title: LX-7 battery life
Post by: crappie55409 on Dec 12, 2012, 02:29 PM

can someone tell me what the battery life of an LX-7 is typically?  Also, is there a big difference between this unit and the LX-6 with regards to battery life?

The battery life on my LX-7 is better than the battery life on my LX-5, can't give you exact number of hours but I've gone two full days on the 7 and not charged it and it didn't die.  As far as the LX-6 I would guess it would be a little better since it's running 2" less of screen but no proof to back up that assumption.

I agree ..... I've gone a full 10+ hour day on my LX-7 many times and never had the battery run down.  I've always charged it over night so I don't know how long it would go the 2nd day, but 1 day is no problem.

I think the same thing about the LX-6 too, since the screen is smaller it seems like it would draw fewer amps, but I haven't used one on the ice so I can't say for sure.
