Disclaimer; this might seem as an incredibly dumb question, but here goes.
Other than me standing around my camera for 2-hours or so while it works, does anyone have any experience with the battery charge life on the "standard", and new, Phase One battery used with the P45+? By this I mean, how long in minutes can you run down a battery from 100% to 0%?
The issue; I have 8-batteries, all mixed in aged, and while none of them seems to "run out" any faster over the past few years, I would like to get an understanding of their "run down" life. In particular, I want to start using my P45+ to do very low-light, or astrophotography, and I know the exposure time (writing to the back) is 2x - meaning one time to expose, and one time to do a black shot. I only do landscape work, so while I am not constantly "pulling" a charge out of the battery doing rapid shots, my back tends to stay on for long periods between shots, and therefore I have no real experience with timing the run down.
Now I can, and will do a test soon where I shot a subject for 60-mintues, at ISO 800, and then of course let the back do the black shot for 60-minutes. Then time/watch the process to see if the battery runs down before the 2-hour task as completed.
Any thoughts, or experiences?
