How long does it take to charge the helicopter battery? How long will the helicopter battery hold it's charge and fly? Thank you Community!

Ours took 20 min to charge. It last about 30 min if u don't have LED lights on. If u put LED lights on it uses more of battery. I've bought two at different times. My kids love it as well as my husband:) I would buy again.

I use a, seperate, plug in charger, and it takes about 30 minutes to charge. The charge lasts around 10 minutes. Less if you use the lights.

are there other small, easy (ie. for YOUNG boys) heli's that offer longer flight time? 6 min is so very short! If i bought additional LiPo batteries so that i could immediately insert for more run time....how could i charge it (since it seems to have "built in" charge)r?

I will agree with previous response. Charge time is usually 8-12 hours. Ride time depends a little on terrain and slope, but you can expect 60-90 mins. I bought 2 of these for my 2 sons 2 years ago and both still have the original battery and even though the ride time is slightly less than when new, they are both still going strong. These things are well made and very durable.

I have one and I gave on to my 10 year old granddaughter about a month and a half ago. There must be way over 100 hours so far because she's relentless. Those things are charging then going constantly. So, that part of the "last" is still ongoing. It takes 20 to 30 minutes to charge and flies for about 5 to 7 minutes each time.

Yes! It comes with a charger and 2 batteries. It also comes with some spare parts i.e rotor blades and connect buckles! This is a really durable helicopter ..... I crashed a bunch w/o breaking anything! The only mishap was the rear tail rotor motor burned out after a couple weeks of flying :-( you may want to buy an extra motor or 2! They are cheap also a couple bucks each! I would order those at the same time as you order the helicopter! This is a fun an easy rc helicopter to fly:-) enjoy

It comes with a battery charger. There is a small cable that is stored in a compartment on the transmitter. You open the small door, pull out the cable, plug it into the helicopter to charge it (takes 15 minutes). Don't fly the heli for more than 5 or 6 minutes or you'll overcharge the battery which could decrease its capacity.

Yes, there is a small yellow USB cable that comes with the package. You can connect the helicopter to the USB cable and the other end to either your PC (or Mac) or perhaps to a wall charger that accepts USB cable.The remote control uses six AA batteries. It has a really small (4"?) charging cable that pulls out of the handle so you can charge the helicopter with it if you're away from electrical outlets. I wish the remote used an internal battery that could be charged. Alas, it only takes batteries. I would recommend charging the helicopter via the USB cable tethered to the computer and not directly from the remote control. This way, you can conserve your batteries.

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

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.

The helicopter itself has an internal, rechargeable battery that you charge through USB. The Controller takes 6xAAs.

It has been my experience so far that there is no problem with charging the helicopter from USB with the proper cable. Just watch to make sure that the battery is not overcharged (the light on the cable will change when charge is complete). That being said, I've certainly gone far beyond that point a number of times and have had no noticeable battery issues so far.

yes a second battery will help, also you can get higher mah battery. i run a 2000 mah battery and fasten under the helicopter for a longer flight time off one battery, I did leave the battery that it came with inside and the second underneath the copter and of coarse change the connections on the batteries so that all i have to do is unhook one and hook the other up and i'm flying again.

It takes about an hour. I bought 3 of the single rotor models for my kids (ages 30-35...) and they fly MUCH longer without recharge for what it's worth. (about 10 minutes as opposed to losing power after 3-4 minutes)

Charge time is about 4 hours. Fly time is 15-20. You can get better batteries. Also make sure that when you charge it, you run it until it dies. Don't leave it sitting around charged. I did and now the heli won't even take off on a full charge. Hope this helps. It's a great heli despite all this and is pretty easy to fly.

Depends how hard you run the motor. My son flies it mostly full throttle and gets about 10 minutes flight to a charge.

Great....Good luck with it. It should fly about 10 to 12 minutes on a full charge. 6 to 8 if you have a camera on it.Mike

Hey there,to answer your question. The battery will last for about 8-10 minutes and yes the helicopter is very durable. I crashed it a lot and nothing happen. I hope that helped you. Cheers
