The stock battery is kinda small, pick up a 1600mAh and you should get about 8-10 minutes. Don't feel bad, the really big and fast boats that go 60mph plus only last about 2-3 minutes!

Well I play usually 6 or 8 hours, then simply redock it in the charger. I've not left it undocked to know how long it lasts. I'm sorry!

the initial charge might take over an hour, but usually shorter, after initial charge....will depend on how long you fly it, and run battery down!

The initial charging time is 24 hours. Let it charge for 24 hours before you use it.

I've never sat around and timed it... but it seems to be something around 2 hours. I usually throw the battery on the charger right after i use it anyways... and a single charge is enough to do my entire front and back yard (i think it runs 30-45 mins give or take).

30 or so minutes to charge. . With continuous use, it stays charged 4 or 5 hours. Actually I've never had them go dead on me if that means anything

Initially I charged it for 4 hours. That's supposed to last for 2 weeks or longer, as I was informed; however I have to charge it regularly for at least 2 hours.

Mine worked for about 90minutes. I almost got one charge out of it. These units are crap, return it and try something else.

I would say I get a good 10-15 hours of runtime on a single charge, and standby time is also pretty good, charges up pretty fast also!

I just used mine for 6 straight hours, and 2 hours the day before, still going strong. I would estimate 10 hours full charge to dead.

I've had mine for months and only charged it the initial time. I don't recall how long it took. I only use it a couple of times a week but the charge has held.

I'm sorry to hear that. Mine seems to be working fine. I've used mine for more than 6 minutes. Make sure it is fully charged before using it.

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.

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

I've had it last as long as 1-1/2 hours on a continuous run. Pretty fast charge via mini USB, too.

Mine only run for five minutes after a full 16h charge! The customer care support says that's the way it is. Ridiculous! DON'T BUY IT!

Mine lasted about 8 hours. I've only needed it a couple times. I was overall satisfied.
