how long does the battery last for

10 - 15 minutes, depending on wind or water current - plenty of time for a good run

Not long. about 15 mins. of run time. I bought a second battery so i could easily swap them out and keep going.

Not long eough. It's only 1200 mah. The boat leaks and the engine gets too hot.

I have two, the one that came with the boat and a slightly larger one. I would say you should get at least 15 min out of it but then again depends how you run the boat. Long story short you should have at least two batteries to properly enjoy a nice 30 min.

Good, I assume. I have been using it 8+ hours/ day for 5 dats a week and I've had it over a month now and haven't had to replace the battery yet.

If the battery is fully charged, it should last for about 6 hours. This is a rough guess based on my using it for about a week, a short time each day, before needing to recharge the battery.

If you leave it on constantly then probably only 1 day it's a tiny battery. but if you only use it a couple hours a day it will last.

About 6 - 8 hours if you run the battery all the way down. Which I dont recommend because your batteries wont last very long.

2.5 hours is a long time. I have to keep mine plugged in constantly. The battery is terrible on this thing. After 6 months of use its even worse.

I don't know the life span of the battery. I still have the same one that came with it when I bought it back in December. Maybe someone who has had one of these longer could give you a better idea about the battery life.

I'd say mine lasts just under 3 hours at the lowest power levels. The battery is easy to remove, so you can always buy a second battery to double your life.

I have had mine for a couple of years. It does stay on for more than 4 hours. Unless they improved the battery draumatically you will not get 6 - 8 hours.

I've had it for about two years now, and the battery life on it is about two hours, give or take. It's definitely better than the one I replaced, though. I'm still a little disappointed that I have to practically keep my laptop plugged in just to be able to use it for longer periods. Hope this helps!

the battery last close to a month. depending on the frequency of usage it may last longer or lesser than that.

It was lasting up to 20-25 minutes for me. I always keep it plugged in. Use it almost every day, several times a day. But now that I've had it for about 9 months, the battery is no longer lasting very long. I think maybe 5 minutes, tops, before it starts to lose power. I am here to check out the return policy, because I think I got a lemon. My last Dustbuster lasted several years with regular use. It's way too early for this one to be dying already.

Battery is supposed to last about 8 hours but can vary depending on volume, etc. I haven't really pushed it that far to see if it will last that long.

I have had it for a few months. Use it a few hours a week. Haven't had to replace the batteries yet.

I really haven't tested the battery life per say.....but I have had it on for more than two hours with the battery still holding charge. Hope this helps.

Not long. 20-30 minutes max. Mine came with an extra battery, which makes it use able. You always have to have a spare charged. Other than battery life, it works great.

On a set of batteries? Probably, I would say 8 hours. It's not very loud. It's good for home use.
