Default Night blades from Perfect Regulators

So I picked up a set of these LED conversion kits. I was wondering how long that 1S 150mah batteries will last? For the guys that use these, how many flights do you get out of a charge? Or do you buy a bigger battery? seems too small

I can fly 3 flights on a charge and not use the whole charge but usually after 2 flights I'm done as I've probably been flying all day just use a volt meter and don't take the lower than 80%

I personally have done over a dozen flights on that 150mah battery. I have a set that has not been charged in over a year and they stll power on.

sewerfly, he was referring to the large kits that have the 150mah battery

I'm not saying I can only get 3 flights I'm saying I can't fly more than that because I've been flying all day and I'm tired the batteries last longer than me

A charge on a 150 mah battery can last a year I only flew it 1 flight and the volts was down to 3.8v fully charged is 4.2v. My flight batteries, I only take them down to around 3.8 or so. What your saying makes no sense??? A battery that never needs to be charged, I'll buy one, heck I'll by 10.

I've only done three flights (6 minutes or so each) at a time on mine, not because the batteries were dead but because I didn't fly any more. Keep in mind that I also have at least a minute or so or illuminated blades before and after my flights.

Long story short....the included batts will power the blades for at least 18-20 minutes.

JT,

Wasn't meaning that they would last a year, lol... I probably could have worded that better, lol... I've had a set sitting for over a year, lol...

I thought that's what you meant, or I hopped so. But let's get to the point. 3.8 volts low end right? Not that it matters much now, I bought a set of the Night Magic Blades going to give them a try. Not just for the cool pictures, but I think I will be able to see them in the dusk a little better. I think most people probably start with just extending the evening flight time. I don't think I'm ready for full dark just yet!

That blue on the bottom of these blades are useless at dusk.
