Which battery? The shorties, around 3-4 hours, regular, 4-5 hours and the XL's 5-6 hours. Just a rough idea.
Magnetism and loud noises will make the auto's run continuiosly. I learned this the hard way, I had a shorty hanging out of my mouth when I was running my skid steer and it was dead in less than 45 min.

If I understand the question correctly the answer is a LONG time. I've pulled a battery out of my stock that had been charged 3 months prior and it worked just fine. However, don't let them go forever. That's why the batteries you get are usable whn you get them, they hold a charge pretty well.
Funny, but I've never had that problem and I've been using V4L autos (standard and XL size) for over 18 months. When I'm in my car, sometimes my stereo is at max volume and they never go off. Also, been to numerous rock concerts, where the noise is absolutely defening and, again, never a problem with any of my autos. Just sayin'

The "newer" batteries, ie. the last 6-7 months or so, are microphone driven. It's not volume necessarily, but frequency of vibration. They have a bandpass filter to try to read the vibration of air rushing across the microphone in only that band.
The vibration experienced on a skidsteer is substantially different than that in a consumer automobile. Thankfully.

Ah ha! Now I get it! Thanks for the explanation

Interesting, I thought they used a diaphragm actuated switch that moved slightly on the negative pressure of the draw (sucking action). Was that the older technology or am I simply assuming?
That was the older (and imho, superior) technology. Actually, it was the "newer" technology. The microphone was the first, then came the pressure actuated switch, then we went back to the microphone.
So no -you're not imagining it... My early posts included disassembly photos illustrating them.

OK, and I must say, I agree (superior). Sometimes pure electronic tech is better than electro-mechanical, but in this case KISS wins IMO AND the diaphram would act as a seal as well. (for the unwashed--- it's not smootching... Keep It Simple Stupid)
Oh, and could supply a link to those photos, I've been unsucessful in finding the post?
