How many hours on a single charge?

Here's what the paper that came with the light says. Highest beam is 2hrs and 20 minutes . Medieum is 3hrs and 15 min. Low beam is 9hrs plus they have about 4other beams but I gave you the basic ones. I only use the high beam and I would agree to theese stats but to me it seems longer. If you really want the exact time on a special beam let me know and I'll charge it up and leave it on untill it gets dim and time it exactly. BOB

Go to cygolite.com; click on products, then on Expillion 700, then on technical specifications. Your answers will be there. Then, subtract 10% to the figures given and you'll be quite close to what you get per charge, on each mode. Take into consideration that cycling through, or combining any of, the different levels of lighting the light provides will affect the total burn time on any given level; i.e., don't expect 4.5 hours on steady pulse mode if you've been running 4 hours on daylight flashing mode. The light defaults to medium when you turn it on initially; you'll have to cycle through high, boost, and low before you get to steady pulse mode. So you'll have to account for the brief moments the light will be drawing at the higher levels. Also, to get the light into daylight flashing, you have to press, AND HOLD the power button, until it goes to walking mode, then press it again to get it into daylight flashing. And, before you get there, the light will go to medium for a second or so before it shuts off and goes into walking mode and then into daylight flashing.

This is late, I never saw the email (get too many to notice them all). I have a 400 model for my son and this one and I have never drained the battery down so I can't tell you. After having the 700 for a while I do love it. Way way bright!

Depends. I keep it on the lowest setting when riding out to the trail. When it gets dangerous I change to the highest setting. Then I change back to the lowest setting when riding back home. All in all I was out for about 3 hours with no issue.

I've never run it dry yet. My average ride is two to two and half hours, so even on the full brightness setting, the 700 has enough charge for that time.

I usually charge overnight and the charge will last for 3 or 4 hours, although I am guessing - I haven't really timed it.

Every time you charge 100% it will say 7h and I think is pretty close to that. I can safely say that it last more than 5h.

I think the inital charge was about and hour and a half. Now it charges in about 20 mins, but I never let it run completey down.

It takes a full 8 hours to charge a single battery , usually overnight ... If you trim "thick grass" the battery can last only 20 minutes (the harder the trimmer works, the quicker the battery runs down) ... For easier jobs, 1 battery lasts about 30 - 45 minutes ... I can't completely trim my yard with 2 fully charged batteries ... Hope this helps

This is a slow charger. You are not going to see any "one hour super charge" features on this thing.I recommend "overnight", though to answer your question I've seen up to 12 hours for a fully depleted high-capacity NiMH. Old, worn, or damaged batteries may have strange charge times (very short/very long) as well.

Very short. I haven't timed it but I don't think I've gotten more than 3 hours standby. I don't travel without the charger.

I have measured around 12 hours with mine. Just be advised that it takes around 2 - 3 hours to get a full charge

I plugged it in to charge when I received and I remember it was completely charged in a few hours. Sorry I don't remember how many but I used it the same night.

several hours, really, I can't say. I have one and my son-in-law has one, both about 1 1/2 years old. Only charged twice each and not because it was low, just thought it needed it after a night of use calling coyotes.

My experience thus far is 3 hour charge capacity. I have no complaints about the quality aspects for the price that I paid. Hope this hels

4 hours is on the long side. But I would not be concerned, especially on a first charge. If it takes more than six hours I would ask for a return and replacement.

A couple of hours for a partial charge. I never let it get below 60% or so.

Not sure of the actual run time per charge, but then I have not had it on for more than 6 hours before putting it back on the charger. Light was still burning brightly when I recharged.

About half a day. However mine only charged once and then failed completely.

I found that approximately three hours is sufficient. I also tend to charge it every other night and have had no problems.

you will loose time till next charge. Assuming you run at the same average speed: If you had 10 hours between charges, you will now have 7.3 hrs. Hope this helps.
