So, how long will a battery loco run on a single charge?

My GRS kitbashed Peckett loco, running on an LGB ToyTrain 0-4-0 motor block (with 24v Buehler motor) and powered by three 18650 li-ion 2.3Ah cells has just run continuously for 12h 40m!! I set her running while we entertained some friends for a meal, and I just let her carry on running until it got dark - and then ran her again the following morning until the battery protection circuitry stopped her (on 9.2v). My back of an envelope calculations suggest that she was only drawing an average of 0.18A, which I think is quite incredible, considering the Phoenix 2k2 soundcard was also active all the time. Who'd have thought Buehler motors were so efficient?

When people ask me what sort of run time should they expect from li-ion batteries, I usually say "It depends ......... but you can expect to get 4-5 hours". Maybe I will have to revise my estimate.

That's not a bad running time at all Rik. My Roundhouse battery diesel all vary on running times. The NDM-6 will run for eight hours, Harlech and Cricceth Castles about three, Little Johns and Bulldogs average four hours. My Mamod Boulton will run for ten hours and my Friograil steeple cab will run foe eight hours.
