[QUOTE="aroy, post: 561938, member: 16090"] I have experienced battery draining with VR lenses. Though I have a D3300, the battery lasts 350 shots instead of 700 with the kit lens, with non VR 35mm F1.8 DX, I get upwards of 850 shots. With larger lens the drain is more - Tamron 70-300 drains the battery faster - more power to focus and VR circuits. I think that when the camera is on, the VR of third party lenses remains on and that consumes power. Just to check if that is so, switch the VR off when done for the day, and see if the battery drains as fast overnight. [/QUOTE]
