how long do the nimh batteries last?

35-45 min depending on your style. I have 2 summits and the nimh actually runs better than my lipos. I just ordered my new motor and ESC. Truck will hit 50 mph easy.

Honestly, I've usef LiPo's from day one. But based on my 7600 LiPo's that last more than an hour I expect the NiMh to last about 45 minutes. But of course it depends on how hard you use the throttle.

my vemon 4200mah batteries last about 1 hour of climbing speed runs whatever so extremely long considering

My pack of AA purchased in January 2015 says 2014. I did not know NiMH goes bad 3 - 4 years. How did you find out this information? I have been using rechargeable batteries for years with no problems without NiMH. I just checked a different package of AAA purchased in January also & it says 2011. Gee your never too old to learn a valuable lesson. Thanks so much for informing me about this. Have a great day. VRLT

To the best of my knowledge, any decent NiMH should work.... Its my opinion that the low discharge rate batteries, such as Imedion or Eneloops are the best batteries available these days, not since they offer the greatest capacity, but since their low discharge rate allows them to sit unused for greater periods of time, and still deliver when needed. A device such as the PortaPow might sit in your glove box for months or years before being needed. To then find the bats dead makes no sense.If you are using the portapow daily, well, I'd think there are better ways to charge your portable device....

It has a 1200 maH NiMH battery. I do not know if it is an LSD type, but given that it was bought in 2013, it likely is -- however, I have no way to verify that. According to what I've been able to find out, it should last for 500 to 800 recharge cycles, but this varies a lot depending on how deeply it is discharged, the temperature, and all the other usual caveats that apply to NiMH batteries.

-sorry, can't answer . I bought a NiMh battery, which arrived dead. -returned it, and was never sent a replacement even after several follow-ups. I've lost faith in Amazon.

Battery life has been great so far. I've recently switched over NiMh rechargeables for all of my batteries. Haven't had to recharge them for about a month. The mouse has an auto shutoff feature after periods of inactivity.

I imagine it depends on the power drain of the particular brand of aids that you have. I have Phonaks, and the batteries typically last about 3 days.

Battery life is very short if you use alkaline batteries at a CIPA-rated 140 shots. Using rechargeable NiMH batteries doubles that shot count, but keep in mind that using the zoom lens a lot, increasing screen brightness, recording movies, or continuous shooting all cut into that rated battery life. If you're going out shooting for the day, you'll want to bring spares or prepare to buy some along the way.

I do not know the exact time in hours and minutes, but my has lasted forever. I'm in and out of my gun safe alot, I leave mine on motion setting and have yet to pit new batteries in it. A+++

NiMH Batteries and it does not say 5 year Guarantee on packet but they say they will replace any defect any time!

I first replaced my batteries with original Panasonic NIMH batteries, however the replacement ones did not last as long as the originals. This time I replaced with Sanyo Eneloop batteries, because they have a "slow to discharge" feature. The reviews on these particular batteries are very good, plus they arrive already charged so you can continue to use your phones after replacing the batteries (however the phone will tell you to charge it for 7 hours and it will show charging after you first insert the batteries)

The Duracell Rechargeable NiMH Batteries have a 2,650 mAh and are Duralock. These Duracell Rechargeable AA NiMH Batteries are charged and ready to use right out of the package.

On the higher setting, they probably lasted around 18-24 hours. On the lower setting, you could probably expect 24-36. We used them in Haiti and were pretty pleased with their performance. Ended up using half of the batteries that I expected to.

I have only have had 6 mts and have not had to change the batteries yet. They should last about 1 year.

I also use SONY NI-MH batteries and I haven't experienced any problems. I think what they meant to emphasize was to use NiMH type of rechargeable batteries. Here is what Olympus recommends: Ni-MH Quick Charger and Battery Set (B-90SU) http://www.olympusamerica.com/cpg_section/product.asp?product=1393&fl=5 "What is the difference between Nickel Cadmium (NiCad) and Nickel Metal Hydride (NIMH) batteries? Both NiCad and NiMH batteries are rechargeable. The main difference between the two is the fact that NIMH batteries offer higher energy densities than NiCads. In other words, pound for pound, NIMH delivers approximately 30% more capacity than its NiCad counterpart. " Reference: http://www.batterymart.com/c-battery-facts-faqs.html#lith-alk

I have not tried using rechargeable batteries for this but some user manuals will tell you not to use them even though i'll use them anyhow and they work fine. Alkaline batteries are generally at or around 1.2v at 50% while rechargeable NiMH's hold steady at 1.2 volts. It might also be that this manual was meant for the NiMH batteries that you have to recharge no matter what every couple of months or so due to the heavy drain those batteries get. LSD batteries like the Eneloops might work fine, but whether this device will handle the 1.2 volts/rechargeable batteries is really up to whether you give it a shot and see for yourself.

It uses 2-AA batteries. I use the NiMH rechargeable but regular AA work also. Using the menu, you select the type of AA battery you are using.
