how long does the battery last on high speed
1992281
Don't know. Have only used the unit as a vacuum, and have not had to run it at max speed for my needs. If memory serves me I got 4 full bags out of one charge.

I don't have an exact time. So far I've been experimenting with various speeds to see what works best. It just seemed that when I ran it on the top speed it was eating up power. I'll try a more rigorous test during the week and try to post it here.

Douglas: I've run the battery about 30-35 minutes before it runs out. I bought an extra battery in case I need more time. If you have a lot to do, I would go for a backpack type blower. I use both gas and battery power.

the thumbwheel has 5 positions. When using the blower I adjust the switch for the job at hand. the lower positions for dry leaves on paved surfaces higher for leaves on grass. I very rarely usethe turbo mode which will discharge the battery quickly. Used in this manner I estimate 45 minutes of operation.

30 minutes with thumb wheel at 5. Not that you need 30 minutes on full speed like I did for heavy cardboard fireworks debris. With leaves, I use low 5. Since it's a lithium battery, I recharge after every use. Never ran out of juice on low 5.

I've never left the HT on to let the battery run out but I have had about 2 weeks worth of juice with the morning/evening commute equalling 40 min each time. 90% of this was listening with the rest of course Tx'ing. Hope this helps.

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!

Hi rick. My standard battery lasted about 20 minutes. I later bought the bigger "piggy back" battery together with the fast charger. These together kept me going more than I needed.

The battery it comes with will last you 10-30 minutes depending on how hard you drive it.

I never measured the real charge time because generally we'd just plug it in overnight, but the charge would generally last for a solid 90 minutes of ride-time, though as the battery wears you'll see a speed decrease earlier in that 90 minute timeline. I would guesstimate at about 45 minutes of ride-time for every 5 hours of charging or so, but that's just a rough calculation based on 2 years of ownership and observation.

I have had this battery for over a year now. It use to stay charged for approximately 2 hours under heavy use. One thing I have done lately that has actually extended the charge to 30 - 45 minutes longer, is replace the old hard drive with a solid state hard drive. This has also breathed new life into the laptop to make it like a new one again. It is twice as fast after I added the maximum RAM and solid state drive. Cheaper than buying a new laptop.

I had one episode where the battery ran down very quickly - I actually thought I was going to have to take it in for service - but after recharging it's back to normal and I've had no problems since. Usually takes me about 30 minutes to do the yard, on combination of high and low speed (mostly low).

As you know, the answer depends on what exactly you're using it for. If you're just taking snap shots without all the art features, or just a bit of video here and there, then for me the battery lasts for weeks. However, if you're out doing HD 1080 filming, which I do often, then I'll go through a battery every two to four days with over an hour worth of clips to show for it (with image stabilizer off & not using the zoom). However, when I do use the built in image stabilizer for video and pic taking as well as zoom, I only get about 30 min worth of video. When my battery is finally drained, it takes about three to four hours to recharge.

The battery will last about 8-10 minutes depending on payload and wind conditions. I flew it far enough that i lost sight of it. Some have said that with a on board camera and viewing system, you could go up to 1/2 mile away.

On a full charge on full power it will last about 15 to 20 minutes. It has plenty of power and can move a lot of debris on a single charge.

Is pretty fast it's around 35 m.p.h. but when use double battery pack it's around 45 m.p.h.

Well the original battery gives you maybe 10 min on a good day and light flying with no stunts, the upgraded one I got gives you approx. 20 minutes I'd say. Haven't timed it, so I can't give an exact, but it is definitely a long enough flight time to be worth it.

Not sure on high. On strobe about 2 hours. Battery could be better. Worth buying a bigger one

The write up on this battery said it would last around three hours but I've found that using the energy saving mode on my laptop gets me around six hours of surfing the web before having to recharge. Movies, playing music and other functions can eat away at that time but for the most part it holds a charge very well. I've had the battery for over a year and it hasn't slacked off a bit. Great Buy!!!

On flat driveway and grass around 2 hours. If on hills or more rugged terrain, a little over an hour. If there are a lot of hills, the motor will shut down and cool for a few minutes as a safety measure. It lasts long enough my son has never run the battery completely out at one time and that works well for me.

The battery provided with the Stampede lasts 30 minutes or so if the truck is driven on a paved surface. If used " off road", the battery life is noticeably less. If a higher capacity battery is desired, the Racer's Edge NiMH 5000 mAh , 8.4 volt hump pack with TRX plug gives a very long runtime. Keep in mind that the longer the truck runs on a charge, the hotter the various electrical components can get without a cool down period. All other thing being the equal, speed comes from battery voltage, runtime comes from the mAh rating of the battery. MAh is milliamp/hour, power over time. So the higher the mAh rating, the longer the battery will last at a given discharge rate.
