how long does the battery last for
Asked by Henry Madden Forman on 30th May 2017

Stock runtime would be around 15 mins or so , depending on your driving style.

 

A high capacity 5000+mah battery would give around 30+ mins runtime, depending on your usage.

The lights on the charger will indicate when this is fully charged, it should take around 2-3 hours on the stock charger.
