Torsion night blades

[Mike W]

Just a curiosity question more than anything else ... I have some torsion night blades and love the things .. they track like my normal CF torsions but what I would like to know is on a full charge how many minutes should the battery last in them ??? ... just curious thats all

I got 3x 9 minute flights from mine the other night. But by the end one blade had only 1 led working so that one had gone a bit low really - so I'm going to say 25 minutes, unless of course mine are faulty which is entirely possible although they are new. Incidentally mine require adjustment to the tracking between them and a normal set of v blades.

Am using a multiplex charger that does a whole range of batteries ....

i know the smiths are now using these and they haven't got a huge batt life in them

My 430mm torsion's last between 25-30 on a charge mike...
Not sure if the bigger blades have the same battery???
cheers


edit.,they are brand new BTW

just tried em from fully charged till they just start to dim and got 18 minutes out of them ...

Only get about 20 minutes out of my 690's. The reason behind the short battery life is they have tried to make them as similar to the standard 690 torsion blades as possible so you are still able to achieve similar if not the same performance from the blades during the day and at night. i.e batteries are made very small to keep weight down ect.

Can be frustrating as with mine i can only get about 2 flights out of them, but on the up side they really don't take that long to charge if I did want to have another go..
