Which Size Monitor Battery???

[Dezy]

How many minutes does your 2 or 3 cell battery power your monitor?
I’m considering buying an 8” monitor with a built in 5.8 receiver, and not sure what size battery to get. Since I’m going to mount it to my radio, I want to keep the weight as low as possible.
Thanks,

Look up the power requirements on the monitor data sheet for accurate numbers but my 7" stuff runs for over an hour with a 3s 900mAh battery. They are small, cheap, available everywhere, and charge pretty fast so having a few will keep you going for a long time.

Thanks, Old Man. I ended up purchasing a 3s 450mAh which running an 8" monitor and receiver, lasts about 12 mins.
