do you really need a 2nd battery if you use it for 2 to 3 hrs concidering you start off with a good charge on your main battery. is it a hard draw

I haven't noticed that but then I never use mine on full power. mostly the 3 or 4 setting and Ive fished for 5 or 6 hours with no noticeable wear down.

if you are just using it 2 to 3 hours and you have a decent deep cell battery you will be fine with one battery.

No, that's ridiculous. I ran mine last weekend for a solid seven hours, with intermittent bursts on full power to get from one point to another. I also run my fish finder off the same battery. When I got home the battery was still 80 percent charged, and that's the most I've ever drawn it down.

I use a single battery for this and all of my acc (fish finder, pumps, lights and such). I have no issues being out 4-6hrs at a time.

With the original battery you do run out. With a largerbattery you can go most all day without a recharge. The battery will last longer if you drain it before plugging it in again. If that isnt convenient then i have a spare battery charged with me every day just in case. They are fairly inexpensive online and come with a charger.

I don't have hard data as I usually recharge overnight (two batteries), but I have a sense that two hours gets you maybe 75%, 4 you are 100%. I have seen some remarks online with more precise data...

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.

Leave it in the charger as long as you want and it won't hurt the battery. It takes about 9 hours to fully charge. Therefore, I suggest you have two batteries.

I run it on 2000mAH LiPOs (careful, there is no LiPo low-voltage cut off circuitry) and I get a solid 20 minutes. The original 1600mAH NiMH Duratrax battery I bought with it was closer to about 15 minutes.Yes, 2 batteries is a must.

It seems to have a very good battery life, however I'm considering a second battery keeping the second charged if I neglect to charge it.

It ok to do either one , the battery it self has a limited number of charges. I keep mines charged haven't had any problems with it.

I bought a second battery because my first only holds a charge for about 45 minutes to an hour, which isn't long enough for me to cut my front and back lawn. The new one lasts longer, but I do need to alternate between the two to get the lawn fully cut. Thick long grass also uses up the battery faster. My lawn is 3/4 of an acre so if you have a smaller lawn one battery might be all you need.

I usually charge it overnight, then turn it the opposite way in the charger until I need to use it. These batteries hold a charge a very long time. Depending on how long I use it on a given day determines if I charge it that day or not. If I use it for just a couple of screws or drill o few holes, then I wont bother charging it that day. If I use it a lot in one day then I will usually charge it overnight and then the next day turn it backwards in the charger. I know it says they won't overcharge but you don't need to put an extra charge cycle on the battery if it's not necessary. I hope this helps.

Buy a couple extra cheap third party batteries. No big deal. 2 batteries should get you through a full day of heavy shooting.

It comes with 2 battery's and each lasts about an hour and takes 30 minutes to charge. I tend to use one while the other is charging then switch them out.

My first battery lasted almost 4 months, and it was a generic alkaline battery. I used a Duracell Ultimate for 2nd battery, after two months it is working fine. If you use a lithium battery you should get more than 4 months.

the battery is 2 Nonstandard Battery batteries required. (included) . does this battery need charge or i need buy new one when this battery ran down?

No I don't believe so your battery should be wired in series which means one draws off the other one would do on your main battery

Depends on how much you're load is. Two battery s will stay charged no problem if you are not loading and charging at same time. However, once batterys are discharge it will take a half day or so to recharge. If you want a consistent load you will need to get an extra panel or two to do both at same time I have been happy with the bundle so far. I can run a 60 tv or floresant light for 6hr or so off of 1 reg bat.

Yes, that is correct. It comes with 2 batteries but remember they will sometimes need to be charged. Check them out before you set out on the first "shoot"
