How long does the battery charge last? How far can you fly it?

On the original battery I can fly around 15 min unloaded, with upgraded battery it goes nearly 20 minutes. I have taken it out 300 yards. It is difficult to see at that range.

The battery lasts about 10 minutes depending on how you fly. Hovering takes a lot less power than hammering the throttle. I have gotten more time by getting it in the air for photos and moving it slowly. As far as distance, you can fly it until you almost can't see it so you won't have a problem with distance.

Flys about 10 min in stock form and reaches 300 yards up and 300 yards away

Battery life is 12 min. you can fly as far as you can see if goes out of radio control gps kicks in and it comes back where it took off from.This product is great you will be happy as I was, well worth investment thanks Amazon!

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.

It lasts about 12-15 minutes, line of sight as far as you can see. With the software and waypoint pads it can fly pretty damn far. comm distance is listed at 300 m, but I have flights as high as 450 plus. If you look at the battery it has two contacts one for the heli the other to operate the leds and such. 2200MAH-20c-11.1v.

5-7 minutes. I recommend picking up a few extra batteries. Remember to put the velcro on the new batteries to keep the battery in place during flight.Each battery takes about 45 minutes to charge.

Comes with a charger.Battery is pre-charged. You get about 10-15 minutes of flying time off it

Ours only last about 7min between charges, which takes about 45min to recharge on a computer's USB port. We've had 3 of these so far and this is about as much fun as you can get for under $20. Incredibly durable ( you may want to buy a replacement set of blades), and amazing stability technology so anyone can fly these straight out of the box (once you put batteries into the controller of course). We play kamikaze kopters...

The battery is a 1S LiPo battery (1 cell) and is quite powerful. The Quad flies for about 6-8 min on a single charge with the front and back lights off (5-7 with them on). Flight times vary by flying style. The blue light on the bottom draws only a few micro amps so it should not affect flight times. However you should always unplug the battery when the quad is not in use since depleting the LiPo over time may permanently damage it.

Yes, the max battery life is about 5-7 minutes of flight time between charges. This is typical for these small helicopters.

I'm not 100% sure since this was a gift for someone else. However, it's rechargeable and each charge seems to give about 10 mins of flying life. Not sure if that helps, but its all I know since this was a gift.

I was able to use it on a 12 hour flight and around an hour driving connecting via bluetooth to a single device without recharging. 10 hours is a good estimate if you keep the lcd light setting on "momentary on" (where it lights for about 5 secs after pressing the power switch) but it could probably go longer. Its only drawback, although a very minor one is that the charging port in this model is the usb-a type, not usb-b which is used in a lot of smartphones today so you might have to bring multiple wires üEdit: lasted around 18 hours this time. A near 14 hour flight, turned it off for 2 days, no recharge and around 6 hours before battery finally quit I was able to use it on a 12 hour flight and around an hour driving connecting via bluetooth to a single device without recharging. 10 hours is a good estimate if you keep the lcd light setting on "momentary on" (where it lights for about 5 secs after pressing the power switch) but it could probably go longer.

A fully charged will last about 12 to 15 min. and it will take an hour and 15min. to charged. This is a very stable flying helicopter and has lots of lights. I would recommend. Hope this helps.

Flying time is. Out the same as any rc helo around 10 min, charging time around 30 to 45 min

General rule of thumb is to fly for 7 or 8 minutes, then land & let the motor cool off. If you fly for the entire battery pack, the motors get too hot & burn up. Instead of replacing the motors with originals, you could convert to a brushless motor & get more power & flight time. MJX makes a plug & play version that will fly for almost 15 minutes on a larger battery with no components getting too hot or failing.

As I remember the flight time was about 4 to 5 minutes. Charging was about 45 minutes depending how depleted the battery was. Instructions said to remove the battery before charging. This what destroyed my copter. The power wires broke on the circuit board while removing the battery. It lasted about 5 removals and reinstall action of the battery. In other words be careful.

I've been able to get 15 minutes or so out of it out of town. It depends on if you're having to make any adjustments to the flight controls pitch y'all roll to stabilize the flight. I usually let it charge 30 to 45 minutes between flights.One of the best things I did was contact the manufacturer and get a price list of extra parts and ordered a spare battery so that I could continue flying while one is charging.

As stated below, 6 AA's. The actual flying car charges via a cord attached to the controller, the battery is internal. So you need nothing for the actual car itself. Takes about 20 mins (in my experience) to charge. Fresh batteries make that happen quicker. Flying/driving time seems to be about 8-12 mins. Hope this helps.

The manual states approximately eight minutes. HOWEVER, you then have to charge the battery for an hour. The ideal place to fly this is an open field, a park of sorts. In my case that would be a ten minute drive. I am not going to make a 20 minute round trip for less than 10 minutes of flying time. It's going back from where it was purchased.

it takes about 20-30 minutes. I left a negative review for this heli because even though I fully charged the battery many times, it only worked for about a month before it stopped holding a charge. I've owned many of these types of helis before and am very familiar with them. The batteries are not replaceable, so once the batty goes, so goes the copter. They are great fun, and you should get about a year out of it. Unfortunately, the Chinook from Syma lasted about a month.

My kids can go a few days of riding it before charging, which also varies on how much your child rides it at one time. Maybe a couple of hours (2-3). The kids have never charged it and then run out of batteries during the ride immediately after.
