Do get Eneloops, it's the best money you'll ever spend on batteries, seriously.
I believe you can shoot around 40 minutes of video with one charge, that's more or less what I did last time I shot video (I shot about 5 takes of a 6 minutes music, with pauses in between, without completely discharing the batteries). Since batteries are so cheap, just get 2 or 3 packs and throw in your bag. They don't have "memory effect", so you can keep using and recharging and they last virtually forever.
