how long does the battery last

A fully charged 3.0mAh Makita battery will last only a few minutes at full throttle. I use mine at less than full throttle all the time and the battery lasts a good long time.

They last between three and five minutes at full draw. It doesnt sound like much but the blower, for its size, is pretty powerfull. On my detail sander it is more than ten minutes. (still going) These batteries have kind of been the achilles heal of this system, but for light duty they seem to be working fine, for the multitude of tools they have been on the mark for the speciality niche.

On a full charge on full power it will last about 15 to 20 minutes. It has plenty of power and can move a lot of debris on a single charge.

Small battery lasts about 10 minutes. Large battery is enough to blow down two yards. Love it and have ordered another for a vacation home.

I've had 2 battery's for this blower. One lasted a month, the other lasted 4 months. Makita is known for their AC power tools, apparently not their batteries.

Depends on the battery and at what speed you are using it. Not sure exactly how long it lasts but I can do my 3 car garage and my very large deck and the spiral staircases down in one charge.

I would say the 3amp battery lasts about 15 minutes the 1.5amp would be half that.

I have had mine for about a month. I always forget to turn it off so I cannot tell you how long the battery lasts because I have not needed to recharge yet.

I can't say over the long-term, but I have had mine for three months, I use it everyday for hours at a time, and I have not yet had to replace the battery.

I'd say mine lasts just under 3 hours at the lowest power levels. The battery is easy to remove, so you can always buy a second battery to double your life.

I have used it a couple of times, the battery lasted about 6 hours the first time, once I charged it fully it lasted about 12 hours and I haven't charged yet since. hope that helps.

Mine has lasted at least a couple of hours. I haven't needed it longer than that.

That completely depends on the speed you are running it. If you only run it at full speed, it may last two hours on a charged battery. If you run at the lowest speed, it can last up to 15 hours or so.

The batteries with intermittent use, lasted about 4 1/2 to five months. It may have been a bit longer, but no more then 6 months. I don't have any complaints. The screen shows enough detail with a night light outside.

I'm not totally certain about the battery life. I left mine on using it here and there through the day and it well into the evening before I had to plug it in again. I also know that I left in sleep mode for over a week and it still had about 70% battery left it. It impressed me how long it would hold its battery power

My battery last for a while. About 2-3 months, but I think it depends on how much it has to be used. The batteries are cheap at Walmart.

It is good for 5 hours or more. When you tap the button on the ear piece bar and say battery, it will tell how much time you have left.

Usually the battery last between 4 to 6 hours. Just make sure you don't drain the battery. When you see that the battery is almost gone, charge it to prolong the battery life.

The battery life has been great so far! I've had mine for two months, I never turn it off, and I use my computer for 8-12 hours every day. The batteries haven't needed changed yet.

I have charged the battery maybe 4 times now. I would say it lasts for a good 6-8 hours of on and being used time.

The battery lasted multiple times of me using this keyboard for several hours. You have to be careful to turn it off when it is done. I haven't had to replace the batteries yet, though, and I have used it maybe 5 times for 2-4 hours each.

I can't say I have ever measured the battery life but we are happy with it. As long as it was plugged in overnight, it usually makes it through the day, because we set it to suspend after 15 minutes of idle time and we rarely use it for more than 30 min straight. If I ever take it with me to work somewhere for an extended period, I just take the cord with me, it is pretty light.

Iʻve found that if I have it on high speed my battery only lasts 30-40 minutes. On lower speed it may last an hour. Iʻve also found that if I donʻt turn it on and off when moving from place to place, it lasts longer. Hope this helps.
