Need help w G7x battery life

[chuabenson]

Hi everyone. Currently acting an issue whereby my vlog camera (Canon G7x) has a v low battery life. Does anyone own one and solved the issue or anyone who know how to solve it? Like powerbank or similar thing? Thanks for reading and thanks in advance for the advise.

Probably its time to get another battery?

So far no issues with mine cuz I only use it during overseas trips (approx 6-8 times per year). Got myself a spare 3rd party battery too.

I used for like probably from 6pm to 8pm. But it was for video shooting. I believe that's why die so fast. Where did you get the battery from and how much?

This camera doesn't have a fantastic battery life to start off.

I always carry a 2nd one around and it can reasonably cover me for 1 whole day.

Personally i rather buy original batteries, yes they are expensive but i know i am buying something reliable.

I used to but third party ones but they do give problems. The common one being bloating after 2-3 months of non usage.

bad thing is 3rd party batteries dun hold charges for long
