Out of interest, I tested the approx 12mth old remaining two good batteries I've got. After fully charging them I ran them on high quality (with audio) in 5 minute clips until they shutdown.
The rear camera (from the vehicle that doesn't get driven much) recorded it's last full video clip at the 90 minute mark - I'm fairly impressed with that. So that's the battery that has lived "a sheltered life" on a vehicle that hasn't been driven much and is normally garaged.
The other battery is the same age but has copped a flogging- being my "guinea pig". It lives in a vehicle that is usually driven daily and always parked outside in the weather - rarely with any shelter from the elements. It gets down to close to 0 degrees C here at night in Winter (now) and it lived in the vehicle through Summer with regular 40 degree C days (peaks of 45) with no shading. It's mounted in the windscreen on the rear view mirror arm (so between the windscreen and mirror.) It should have died a long time ago, but the last full five minute clip was recorded at 60 minutes!
So there you go, out of my three Mobius the first one to die from battery failure was one of the two which rarely get used - fitted in a vehicle that is garaged most of the time. The two forward facing Mobius do have extra heatsinks fitted, but are otherwise standard.
