GoPro Hero2 battery life with LCD back?

[thomjinx]

Thanks fdog, and everyone who responded.

Now I know that I can leave the LCD on for most of an average dive if I need to.

I always carry extra batteries. And like jcclink, I will only buy chargers that are 100-240 volts.

I live in the US, but much of my diving is in Southeast Asia. I even have a mini SPG that is calibrated in both psi and BARs.

Now I have to decide between the Hero 2 and the Bonica 1080. They each have their strengths and weaknesses but both of them are higher def and much smaller than what I have been carrying.

Thanks again to everyone for the info and advice.

Of to Thailand next Tuesday! Wooohoooo!
