How many batteries do you have in your camera bag?

11 years 10 months ago #229895 by Office Guy
So I was making a comment on another battery question here and it got me thinking. Many of the cameras today can get upwards over a 1000 shots from a single battery charge. Personally I hate to be caught with out a extra charged battery. But when you consider what they are charging for batteries these days, how many spares do you have when you get so many shots from a single charged battery?

I have 2 for my D800 (I had one spare left over from when I owned a D7000 for a little while).

I only have one for my D3s. The battery on that thing lasts for ages.

Always have one fully charged spare for each of two cameras, and my chargers are always nearby, either in our fifthwheel, or in the truck ( we invested in a converter ).

I have two systems, with both there is one in camera and two fully charged spares in the bag. I have them numbered and rotate them on a regular schedule.....;)

Why so serious?

I do the exact same thing. SO I have two spare Nikons and a bunch of AAs for my flash and grip.

Exact same here.

I sometimes go a month without recharging my d3s.

Usually one. If I know I have a full battery maybe none. If it's one of my older cameras with older, wearing out batteries maybe 3 or 4 extra batteries. If I'm heading for a wedding, an all day shoot, or going on vacation I've got everything in a Pelican case, and I keep all my extra camera batteries there.
