The 300 says it last 25 hours on a single charge; is this incorrect? I take once a month night rides for at least 5 hours. Will it work for me?

Sorry, I have no idea. It's very bright, which I love, but I have used it only once and that was for an hour. I haven't ridden since September right around the time I bought it. I charge mine at least once a month just to keep the battery in good shape. So far it takes very little time to charge so the battery holds well when just sitting. I agree with the person previously, charge it up just before you go out.

This light would work great for you! Maybe if you charged it after every ride just to be safe, but it should last you a good amount longer than just the once a month use.

Hi CherishU, well I bought the 300 for my son bicycle when we go for night rides, I could say it has been use for at least 5 hours since I purchased it, sorry I can not help you. But I can say that so far I'm happy with 300.

Well, I really have no idea. I have had it for many years and have only charged it twice. I know that is hard to believe but I use it several times a week to read in the hot tub at night time so it is being used. Probably 2 hours a week. As for continuous hours the charge will hold...sorry, I don't know. We have used it probably 4 times a year for outdoor cookouts in the backyard. Maybe 4 hours at a time. Still kept charge. We joke that it's the wonder lantern! Hope this helped.

The mfg suggests recharge every night. I have used just here in my hime & outdoors for a week or more & not noticed it going down at all. I would guess at steady use if you turn off when at a stop it would easily stay charged 8-10 hours. The battery gets used faster if it is cold , or if you go faster or clumb more inclunes. Hope that helps, I've been very satisfied with this product.

My two boys, both about 30 pounds, could ride for a couple hours with the battery and charger included. I bought a better charger and one battery lasts about three or four hours of continuous riding on grass with very small hills. I also bought a second battery as it takes eight to twelve hours to fully charge one correctly.

I'm not sure. My grandson has ridden it at least two or three hours with no problem. We just plug it in overnight.

That sounds about right. It should last at least 7 days, fully charged. Btw, I use OralB in the .orning and Pursonic at night. I bought my OralB from Walmart and within a week or so the handle stopped charging. I called.OralB and there was a recall for the nadle due to bad batteries. They sent me a handle from Germany, best handle I've ever had. Going on 4years of service.

Hi Barbara,Yes, it will have somewhat of a charge, but not fully. You will need to let it charge for at least 8 hours. After that, you will be good to good. Please note: You will need to charge it one a month for only 1 to 2 hours. It's to keep it fully charged.I bought it for my wife and she lives the since of security it gives, just knowing it there. By the way; the Red Light will never go out. The safety pin shuts it off. Its a safety pin. I really do hope this helps out.VR/Dwayne

It really depends on what setting you use. Earlier this fall I was riding with the lighton its high setting and was getting 2-3 one hour rides with no problem. We've been using it to walk the dog and get a good 2-3 hours on high.

Hi there. It "says" 7 hours on a full charge. I have yet to see it last more than 3 or (tops) 4 - however, I do ride my bike in very cold weather.

I have used it for two weeks, more or less and the batteries are still giving me full luminosity, they last a lot, because I ride two and three hours. You will be happy with it. Me I love mine it is a worthy buying.

I down load my rides daily and leave the unit attached to my computer until the next ride. I have tried taking it off the USB cable and after 1 day it will need to be recharged and will not record a ride. So, I guess the answer is battery life is less than 24 hours. My unit is about 5 months old and I ride pretty much every day.

I haven't used it on the lower settings for several hours, but I have ridden with it on the highest setting for nearly 1.5 hours and it did not run out of charge.

not sure about the exact amount of time. I bike from NJ to NYC it takes about an hour and ten minutes and I have used the light on high beam mode for that period time without any signs of low battery. I considered to be pretty reliable.

Joseph, I've never gone 24 hrs w/o a charge but the light lasts a long time. I run it on stone mode which I sense consumes lots if battery(while riding for safety) and it lasts for 3-4 hours no issue. I often do that 2 days in a row and then connect to the charger after the second ride. There is no "meter" telling you where you are on the charge and it's better to have and not need than to need and not have. Finally, a bunch of my buddies have the same light and it works well for everyone in my group.

I had my 800 running for 4+ hrs on a rural area ride and it didn't even use half of the battery. Seems to store power very well over periods of non-use (7+ days) too. I have been very impressed with battery life on this device. Hope this helps!
