Jacobjuul Posted January 31, 2022 Share #1 Posted January 31, 2022 Advertisement (gone after registration) What kind of battery life are you getting in real world use with the the R? Most threads I could find was in relation to the regular M10 or M10-P Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

robsonj Posted January 31, 2022 Share #2 Posted January 31, 2022 I rarely go through a full battery, but I tend not to spray and pray either. I also use classic metering, so the battery isn't powering much up until it exposes. If I use the EVF, I'm more likely to use 2 batteries. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakontil Posted February 1, 2022 Share #3 Posted February 1, 2022 it really depends on your type of shootings, but with classic matering, normal chimping, it would easily last a day, but having a spare battery will always be good not that it is great but it aint bad either...just nice capacity not over shoots kind of thing battery 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikep996 Posted February 1, 2022 Share #4 Posted February 1, 2022 My M10R (BP) has not so far required a battery change in a day's shooting. I carry one but haven't needed it yet. I don't use the screen at all for focusing/viewing unless I'm using my 21mm lens, which is very seldom. I do have the review selected, set for 3 seconds. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antban Posted February 1, 2022 Share #5 Posted February 1, 2022 The only problem I had was during walk in cold weather - it was around -10 C or even less, and camera was hanging on my hand all time. Battery was about 50% charged. I was shooting for about 1.5 hours, when suddenly it refused to shoot and there was an error display message on the screen (I shot in LV mode mostly) - it was something like "charge your battery immediately". After heating the camera, I could successfully continue shooting. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My M9 will usually refuse to shoot when it's been out in weather below 0C for an hour or so Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
52K Posted February 6, 2022 Share #7 Posted February 6, 2022 Advertisement (gone after registration) The battery on the M10-R was as bad as my other M10’s except the M10-D which has no screen. I don’t consider myself much of a chimper but I use he visoflex from time to time with wide lenses. I never ran out of battery but always carry 2 spares. The M11 has fixed the problem and for the first time in years since my M240 days, can go out with the camera even if it’s on 50%. I would never go out without a fully charged battery in the M10-R.

Gobert Posted February 6, 2022 Share #8 Posted February 6, 2022 I never use the screen. May be that is the reason I have always more than sufficient charge left. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
52K Posted February 7, 2022 Share #9 Posted February 7, 2022 It’s not just screen use that kills the M10 battery. Earlier M240 and later M11 have much better battery life. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikep996 Posted February 7, 2022 Share #10 Posted February 7, 2022 It is interesting that some of us have experienced no issue with M10 battery life and others have... FWIW, the battery that came with my M10R BP didn't work - wouldn't charge properly or operate the camera for more than 20-30 minutes. I transferred the battery from my M10 and it worked fine. I advised the store and they sent me a new battery to replace it. So maybe there are enough differences in individual battery capacity to make a difference in a day's shooting.

bdjackson Posted February 7, 2022 Share #11 Posted February 7, 2022 Battery life is OK on the M10-R, I will happily go out with no spare for casual shooting but if I knew I was going to be busy with the camera then I would take a spare. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
otto.f Posted February 7, 2022 Share #12 Posted February 7, 2022 I have the same experience as most of the responders here, hardly a problem with a day's shooting and I hardly use the screen either, at least much less than with earlier M's. You have to see three things, which are the same with the M10: - using liveview or EVF - using Wifi to send images to the Leica Fotos app - using GPS will drain your battery remarkably fast Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
