Thread: battery last time

I had a play with a Nocpix Lumi H35R over the weekend. I am really impressed with the unit but one thing I am not happy with is the rate that the battery runs down at, we were only getting about an hour out of a fully charged battery. what i want to know, is that about normal run time or what time should I be getting from a battery. The batteries were the ones that come supplied with it.

What was the temp you used it in?

Even sub-zero you should get more than an hour out of the battery I'd say. is it a 18650, 3500? or smaller.

Using it non-stop you'd expect a few hours runtime, the spec is 6 hours - I'd doubt that personally, and usually that time is done with very strict settings (lowest power for everything...).

The battery was an 18650 that come supplied with the thermal. and we were using it from the truck so was not out in the cold

My Pard Leopard 640 runs for about 5 hour of continuous use from one 18650, including using the range finder etc.

Get some better batteries and try again, if it still drains it that quick I would do a warranty return on it.

Don't have to worry about warranty as I only had it out on trial. And its now back at the shop. Have to say that I do like the unit but the battery running down so quick was a real pain

If it takes unprotected 18650's I have a source can get them from for $2 each plus shipping... Samsung INR18650-35E cells. So makes having spares on hand much less painful!

But 1 hour doesn't sound right...
