MyChron 5 Battery Life?

[Adam]

The last MyChron we ran yeeaaars back was a MyChron 3 and the battery would last weeks if not months if I remember! Recently picked myself up a MyChron 5 and what a step forward in terms of features.

I was wondering the realistic life of the battery? Are we talking it will last all day or a lot less? Mychron say "The MyChron5 rechargeable lithium battery lasts more than ten hours".

Also, I havn't seen anybody run the external power cable which runs on the kart battery? Any reason as to why?

Any help much appreciated!

Ive has a mychron5 for years and you can comfortably get a days racing out of one charge. We still do 4years down the line with the orginal battery

Thanks for the reply! I can now confirm indeed the battery is great. Easy do a days racing/testing and have well over 50% charge left.
