I've never done one for that length of time but let's do some math.
1 minute of time at 30 frames per second. That is 1,800 frames. Now let's say we're shooting for 40 days. That equals out to 45 frames a day. Easy enough. There are 1,440 minutes in a day. So evenly dividing this, we now are looking at 1 picture every 32 minutes.
So that solves that dilemma. Now let's consider power. They make an AC adapter for your camera. There's a canon official one but on amazon you can get a cheap knockoff that's virtually identical for around $10. Here (This is for example purposes, you didn't mention your camera)
Now some basic food for thought. Depending on the length of time your shooting this, you may be able to do this entirely by hand, but it'd probably be in your best interest to use an intervalometer or magic lantern.
I've used power extra and Opteka and Wasabi power
Initially they'll all perform the same as the OEM battery but wont last more than a year or two depending on how often you use them.
I'd go with wasabi they have reasonable brand recognition. Pretty popular 3rd party gopro battery supplier. Probably lasts longer than the other lesser known brands but I managed to loose my wasabi battery so I can't vouch for it's longevity.
Still better than buying a bunch of Canon batteries if you're going to be going through a bunch of them in a day.
But if you just need an extra battery you might want to just invest in the Canon branded one since it will last for years.
Since I usually just use my t3i for Macro stuff in a more studio-ish environment. This is a life saver. highly recommend you get one if you use your camera indoors and on a tripod often.
I ended up buying this AC power adapter on Amazon so I don't have to constantly swap batteries. It hasn't failed me yet. I do all my imaging outside my home though, so it's a little more convenient to have access to the house's electricity.
> Does anyone know how can I get my battery life closer to the 7 hours without needing my computer? As I don't intend to travel with it.

Plus an inverter and battery.

I want to hook my Rebel T2I up to my computer to do Time Lapse photos. There is an aweseome view from my bedroom window so i want to find some way to hook up to an external power source.
Has anyone used something like this?

My only concern is that I use a 2 battery grip, and i cant even remember where the door is for just the camera anymore.
Also, if i hooked up to my computer using USB, would i be able to have the program set up to take the photos.
Sorry for all the nooby questions, im VERY new to time lapse.
