How many shutter releases can I expect on a full charge?

No one can answer this question as you dont say what camera it is . Even if you did it depends on if you use live view etc .In truth all day say 800 shots as it must be an old D90 or similar.

Which camera? At least 10 DSLRs can use that battery, each with different endurance. What kind of shooting? Actions/sports? Portraits? Landscapes? On a D70 you might get 350-400 on a charge. On a D300(s) you might get 800. Way to many variables to give an exact number though.

I use a D300s. No live view. Continuios high speed shutter release. Average metering. Continuios focus. Preview off. Manual mode 1/500 f3.5 auto ISO. Sigma 70-200 f2.8. JPEG large fine. The weekend before Christmas I was at a 3 day high school basketball tournament shooting 5 games. I was able to get 2670 exposures.

If you are shooting like that, lots of contious bursts it is easy to get off a lot of frame per charge, not unusal. That said I never got that many on an EN-EL3e. I would get that much using the 8 AA batteries in the MB-D10, but don't recall getting that high with the standard battery. Then again I always shot RAW. Well done anyway.
