should buy an additional battery since the battery appears to only last 7 to 10 minutes and requires 45 minutes to recharge?

Even with the extra battery you are only increasing the flying time 14 to 20 minutes. Overall you are still down 20 to 25 minutes not including the time it takes to change out the battery. There are larger, more expensive models that provide more flying time if you can afford them. My best suggestion would be to just relax and have fun.

That's way too long. It seems to take longer than usual with some cheap batteries and with rechargeables. Even then, not 20 minutes. I'd double check that it's not the batteries if convenient and/or contact the seller/mfgr to see if they'll swap it for another one.

Is it possible the battery is not charged? The instructions suggest it is necessary to discharge fully then recharge. It may be it came discharged, and must be on charge to be recognized, I bought an inexpensive battery and it lasted about three days, then began indicating it should be replaced. The only other possibility would be an incorrect battery? Best regards, Sammy

Yes this is to be expected even with the four hour charge time the internal battery only last 20 minutes. The best thing i found to do is rip out the internal battery pack and use a triple A battery holder in its place with 3 rechargeable triple A battery's. look-up on YouTube for help.

The battery is rechargeable and I'm not sure how long it lasts - we haven't had to recharge it yet and are on at least 8 hours

If the battery is seated properly it should provide at least 3 hours of charge upon arrival. This is a replacement part so it may need some manipulation to seat it otherwise the problem may be in the other portion of charging assembly as suggested above.

The battery should definitely last longer than that. We'd be happy to send you a new battery. Please contact us at info@becomegurus.com or 866.991.8494.Thanks.~Kathy

Seven minutes, which is average for this size. I'd recommend getting extra batteries.

It comes with its own rechargeable battery. You probably need a new charger.

With the regular charger,a couple hours. Best to get an additional battery to switch out!

The battery should last several years I am hoping. The charge on the battery is more like 5-7 hours depending on what you are running.

Manual says 45 minutes!!! According to the battery life. With no way to buy an extra battery.

Yes! But the battery runs out pretty quick, so you might just make it to 1 hour and 50 minutes, then it needs recharging.

That really should not be necessary. Mine only needs to be charged about every 10-14 days. The battery holds a charge for a long, long time.

Nope. Mine lasts 2 - 3 weeks on a 24 hour charge and if yours is new and does not hold a charge, it is likely defective. Return it before the warranty runs out.

Could not find anything in any documentation that came with the battery. However, my experience is that the battery operates slightly over 2 hours before it needs re-charging.

You will have to charge it. Takes about an hour. Also, additional batteries cost about $10 and I recommend buying one as the play time is usually a bit short for the average child.
