PETER THEOBALD says:
When a battery is new and fully charged, it should power your rotary for a minimum of eight hours, but constant recharging will eventually reduce it’s effectiveness dramatically.

There is nothing more frustrating than to have your machine conk out after an hour, and for this reason alone, I will always have a new battery in the car as a backup.
