How long do the batteries in the remote last with having to charge the copter from the remote?

I didn't get the far. All the replacement copter and the initial one never flew. So I could not answer your question due to the fact that I never had the chance to actually fly my copter. My reviews warns you not to buy any of their products. They have to be durable because you cannot direct them where to go and they just run into everything.

Not as long as you would wish for. You'll be able to tell when you're not flying as long as you seem to have when the batteries were new. Buy your batteries, alkaline, from your local 99 cents store, four for a dollar. You can't beat that anywhere. I usually buy four to six packs at a time. Depending how often the helicopter is played with, you'll know how many to buy. Good question though. J.L. Winokur

The cars comes with a rechargeable battery pack, with a delicate connector and charger. The remote uses a 9 volt battery. I don't remember if one was in the package. Charging time for the car says 6-9 hours. I guess you will be able to go home, while your grandson's Mom & Dad will hate the music!

The helicopter itself has an internal, rechargeable battery that you charge through USB. The Controller takes 6xAAs.

Yes, Jeff, it does come with a small battery for the helicopter itself, which in turn is charged by a "regular" (AA or AAA?) battery in the control unit. The helicopter battery lasts about 6-7 minutes of flight time on a charge.

I get around 8 minutes of flying time with the standard batteries. Life shortens with dramatic maneuvers - rapid altitude, extreme banking and reversing, etc. Larger amp batteries are available, but I don't have any experience with them.

Takes six double AA batteries and if you charge your heli with the remote, they don't last as long. I charge heli from AC or computer. Ronnie

It comes with a battery charger. There is a small cable that is stored in a compartment on the transmitter. You open the small door, pull out the cable, plug it into the helicopter to charge it (takes 15 minutes). Don't fly the heli for more than 5 or 6 minutes or you'll overcharge the battery which could decrease its capacity.

It did last longer per charge that the standard battery. However the charger from the quad over charged it so it went bad quickly but that may be my fault. The battery did not stay clipped in the quad and would occasionally dangle under the copter. Take all that into consideration.

Charge times for me were in the 2 to 3 hour range and a good 15 minute flight time. It dosen't sound like much but surprising it feels alot longer than really is. I bought spare batteries at a cheap price and kept them charged. I would average 45 minute outings with 3 batteries. which was more than enough given we took extra helo's and made a day of it.

Recharge is pretty quick, if not fully drained, you're back charged in 20-30 minutes. I would recommend getting a spare so you can continue to fly while recharging.

I have not had a problem with my remote, in fact the collar allways runs out of charge at least 3-4 times before I have to charge the remote.

Depends how hard you run the motor. My son flies it mostly full throttle and gets about 10 minutes flight to a charge.

The transmitter is rechargeable with the same SUB cable that you will use to recharge the Heli. It takes 15 to 20 minutes for a full charge from your pc.

The battery lasts about 10 minutes depending on how you fly. Hovering takes a lot less power than hammering the throttle. I have gotten more time by getting it in the air for photos and moving it slowly. As far as distance, you can fly it until you almost can't see it so you won't have a problem with distance.

it takes about 20-30 minutes. I left a negative review for this heli because even though I fully charged the battery many times, it only worked for about a month before it stopped holding a charge. I've owned many of these types of helis before and am very familiar with them. The batteries are not replaceable, so once the batty goes, so goes the copter. They are great fun, and you should get about a year out of it. Unfortunately, the Chinook from Syma lasted about a month.

If you ran your copter for 5 minutes, the battery should definitely be low enough to need charging. So if there was never a green led while you had it plugged in for charging, then there is definitely something wrong with either the charger or the battery. I'm guessing it is the charger since you did get 5 minutes on the battery, but I could be wrong.

When you buy your plane as Ready to Fly(RTF) it comes with a charger. You can purchase a charger separate that will charge several batteries at a time. You charge the battery on the charger(about 10 minutes). Then it plugs into the receiver on/in the plane to power it. For a foamie or backyard flyer I get 10 to 15 minutes flying times. I have the original battery and several extras. The charger is 4C cell powered so it can come to the field also.
